--plagiarism--
I've highlighted and bolded the issue for you and have a couple questions.
1) Did you forget what thread your in?
2) Do you always plagiarize or did you just forget to apply attributions?
Good thing you noticed. I didn't. I thought that particular person didn't even post anymore. For some strange reason, I haven't been seeing anything posted by them for quite some time now.

driving fees up
I think this is what's currently holding back the Bitcoin rally. The amount of transactions piling up in the mempool is indeed becoming a problem. The average transaction today seems to be costing more than $50. That's a lot of money to spend just to be able to spend money. As a vendor who sells items that cost less than that for BTC I can tell you that there are indeed consequences in the Bitcoin economy when this happens. It's typically something you see happen at the peak of cycles, so it's troublesome that outrageous fees are already hurting the blockchain. Maybe someday people will break Bitcoin free from it's Blockstream chains and let it do what it was meant to.
Yeah or maybe we are entering a new era in mining ⛏️ and btc itself.
Should be very very very happy by June or not .
Meanwhile the mine is whaling this month will be our best since early 2022.

You sound a lot like FUD.

.....That is an unstoppable method. ( I can not conceive of a fix for this) .....
[edited out]Maybe I misunderstood, but ... there... I highlighted it for you... which sounds like another way of saying miners are ongoingly manipulating the bitcoin fees system in a kind of broken way.. and yeah, maybe you did not mean it like that.. but that's how I read your various astute-sounding "prognostications."
yeah so sitting with a stack of btc and looking at an obvious issue that is being exploited as I type does not feel so good does it?
If the largest pool can do what I am telling it looks like they are doing you are likely a bit defensive.
All I have heard is btc btc btc btc from you.
and thats fine. I am simply saying.
the method I speak of is pretty much something btc is not able to correct at this moment it time.
We need to take out some popcorn and watch the action.
Consider that the large mines have billions invested they found an angle and are playing with it.
We have not seen these dynamics.

Fees are more than block rewards! mempool cost is crazy at the moment!
Is this a way to artificially suppress the price…
I don't know. This is madness. There is a second-layer shitcoin market that's currently all the rage on bitcoin, but the bubble has to pop at some point. Its gonna be brutal for them, good for everyone else.Fees are more than block rewards! mempool cost is crazy at the moment!

Btc = a large t-bill do not make small moves with it.
Ltc and Doge = small value moves.
So buy small amounts of LTC And DOGE for small money moves.
Stack btc at an exchange until it is at least 1000 value then move it to you wallet. 1000 moved for 20 bucks is not the end of the world.
Fuck shitcoins. Have you heard of lightning network?
As for miners (me) this is a good christmas. 🎄
BTW fees for btc will never be under 5 sats for extend periods of time. once the ½ ing happens.
I know of five or six ways big pools can jack fees at a profit to them.
If a dummy like me knows them the pools also know them.
Simplest one downclock you gear on the first 3 days of a jump. You save on power bigly. You clog the pool.
Fees go up. ⬆️ On fourth day put your gear on full speed.
You pull in bigger fees and more blocks.
That is an unstoppable method. ( I can not conceive of a fix for this)
And that method works better and better as each ½ ing passes.

Bitcoin is broken, and miners are gaming the system? You heard it here first. Right?
Oh and on a sidenote, litecoin and doggie coin are our saviors.
It used to be that Ibonds were going to save us, now it is litecoin and doggie coin, and surely you have made those prognostications previously.. which goes to show that you have been a stronger soothsayer than previously thought... anyhow, your comment about not knowing about any solution seems to show that you have little to no imagination or you are just a pessimist when it comes to various ways to build on bitcoin, whether there might be some software tweaks or various second layers that do not necessarily hinge upon being distracted with shitcoins.driving fees up

Who would-a-thunk?
Shit.. dee cornz is controlled/dominated by Blockstream, and perhaps keeping dee blocks too widdo, too? Seems like I have heard those kinds of concerns, previously... Hm?
By the way, many of us should realize that BTC prices do not necessarily go UPpity without various corrections from time to time, and sometimes corrections may well be in the 20% to 30% territory, even during a bull run, and sometimes they even go as high as 50%, even during a bull run.. Who would have had thunk? So far we have had a correction of around 10% down to $40,181 (from about a week ago).. and yeah it is looking like we might well possibly be getting greater than 10%.. and maybe such greater than 10% might happen, and maybe it won't?
At the same time, I recall BTC prices being in the $26k/$27k territory right around 2 months ago, so the fact that we had hardly gotten any correction since Mid-October, that should be a noteworthy dynamic that shows that maybe a greater than 10% correction could happen? How much greater? who knows?
As far as transaction fees interfering with the ability to justify transactions of less than $500, yes there likely is some truth to that, and so yes it could be difficult to know how long these levels of fees are going to be able to persist. Someone is paying for those kinds of fees because transactions are still being processed at those higher rates. So yes, for the little guy and for the regular transactions, there seem to be some temporary obstacles in regards to cost, and those people who have several options are better off than those who might ONLY have bitcoin as an option... and surely some might resort to transacting on shitcoins, yet I would think that these ongoingly high fees should be inspiring the consideration of various other bitcoin-related options and motivations to build various other bitcoin-related options.. Did anyone believe that there are not any costs in terms of transacting on bitcoin and surely some inconsistencies in the fees.. It may scare some people out of the BTC that they own, and it might deter others from buying BTC, but what does that mean for regular (or longer-term) BTC HODLers? Coins will be cheaper for longer.. so anyone who knows about bitcoin should not be deterred from continuing to stack sats, even though they might not be able to transact with low fees for the time being. Anyone who knows about bitcoin should not let these kinds of obstacles deter them from realizing that they better be sufficiently/adequately preparing their lil selfies for UPpity.. just in case, even though downity and/or sideways might be in the works.. too.. maybe .. and maybe not..
Never said it was broken. Said it is truly different this time.

Faith is not all bad.
It's where you put it that counts.
Faith in code, not god!
Bitcoin going up,
And then down, and then sideways...
Crystal Ball told me!
A piece of paper.
Two alphanumeric strings.
No firmware updates!
ETF or not,
Expect a 6-digit price,
In under a year!
Disney going woke...
I used to read Mickey Mouse.
They raped my childhood!
Banks are here to stay.
Bitcoin is here to stay, too.
Equilibrium!
Nice trick there, Philip!
