We toxic #bitcoin maxis were right.

The mempool has remained at approximately 2 sat/vB for an extended period. Nearly every block at the moment includes transactions with 1 sat/vB fee.

The number of unconfirmed transactions is steadily decreasing—currently around 60K.

Most transactions over the past year (and still to this day) were inscriptions, ordinals, or other data-related shitcoinery.

Given these statistics, 4MB blocks are proven sufficient.

The retards who advocated for larger block sizes were wrong, and the dumbfucks who demanded censoring valid transactions (inscriptions and ordinals) were also wrong.

Bitcoin was fine without any changes.

Most people complaining(crying) about on-chain fees did not run their own Lightning nodes with adequately funded channels, and most likely aren't preparing themselfs now before fees rise up again.

Also JPEG scammers got rugged

yes but no, we still need to research ways to scale bitcoin in case of a consistent part of humanity want to use it.

We still need to research solutions like ARK, CISA, using better taproot to do more efficient txs, making lightning better and better so to diminuish the on/off traffic from layer 1 to lightning.... Even good custodial solutions like cashu or liquid.

Sufficient for those who still do intermittent, relatively large, cross-jurisdiction, low-priority transactions and didn't already flee to altcoins in 2017 thus dropping demand for bitcoin block space.

Why should billions of people run lightning nodes? What does it mean to adequately fund a channel and how do I judge that? It might be straightforward to do it now, but if bitcoin was fine without any changes, why do I need to go set up infrastructure to use it?

this is why the blockspace is cheap... and you simply can't do OTC POS with such a slow and unpredictable settlement time

for those new to Bitcoin, please research why you need to consolidate your Bitcoin utxos (and mix/coinjoin them)

now would be a really good time to do that

but sir... the babies are dying because of you using LN...
