@haq4good Urgency is understandable; if the protocol doesn’t change, its usage will. Sounds like there were topics you wanted to discuss?
@Technom4ge @theonevortex @Excellion I actually doubt that given that it would take time for users to adopt it. Maybe a gradual decrease.

@theonevortex @MysteryPersin @Excellion I’m not talking about specific solutions, but rather differing perspectives of Bitcoin’s goals.
@theonevortex @MysteryPersin @Excellion My point: try to understand other perspectives rather than dismissing them as ridiculous.
@MysteryPersin @theonevortex @Excellion Not a very practical solution given that altcoins don’t have the same infrastructure around them.

@ZephyrBTC @timoncc @ExceIlion @AlpacaSW @seweso There is no “the answer” to scaling Bitcoin. We’ll need both on-chain & off-chain scaling.

Upon closer inspection, looks mainly due to someone consolidating many UTXOs while paying 400% the going fee rate. https://t.co/wixZSbpiIw
Bitcoin’s transaction fee market is really heating up - recent block 451,823 contained 4.5 BTC in transaction fees. https://t.co/zoTak5mVSt
@Melt_Dem False dilemma fallacy - been seeing a lot of that lately!
