They have weaponized blockspace scarcity against itself. I have no fucking clue how this can be mitigated, but devs/miners/etc who arent completely overdosed on orange pills need to open their fucking eyes and figure something out. i am stating here and now with 100% certainty, this attack will continue unabated because far too many have given btc God-qualites, and noone will ever question their god's perfection. They have turned a feature into a bug.
