Runes have dropped off recently.

Good?
Depends on what you mean with "good". On the one hand, demand for block space is now lower, on the other hand, it's less likely that Bitcoin devolves into a casino platform like Ethereum
nostr:npub1j5mp526z5fkz9wkrk6mt5nzu43xndyrwkr8mnqngdqwytgcpc5vqcnsd5c, welcome back! 🔥🫂🌸
Literally last week I had the thought, and almost put a note out there saying, “what happened to nostr:npub1j5mp526z5fkz9wkrk6mt5nzu43xndyrwkr8mnqngdqwytgcpc5vqcnsd5c? I miss him.”
I'm surprised those 1sat/vb transactions lingered around mempools for so long.
I'm wondering whether the increase in BRC20 lately was mostly the ancient transactions in the mempool getting processed.
If that tapers off now, too, that would be the likely explanation
To be clear, there is (currently) no such thing as transaction expiration. While individual mempools will drop transactions, anyone can re-broadcast them.
Yup, thats what I assumed. Nodes don't automatically rebroadcast transactions though, right?
If I had a 1sat/vb transaction that hasn't been confirmed for over a year chances are most mempools would have dropped it, and those that didn't wouldn't rebroadcast it automatically, I'd have to rebroadcast?
