personally disagree that a block size increase would constitute a solution, the problem would still exist that someone with money to burn could fill blocks (just 4MB or 15MB instead of closer to 2MB)

i think the fee market should solve this problem naturally (hopefully) - you’d think on-chain token folks will eventually run out of money to burn on fees, and they’ll run out of buyers for their hot potatoes

time will tell if that’s the correct take

but, assuming the “storm passes” it’s still a very great example of what technically needs to be thought about and solved creatively - i’m naive in this space, but i saw something the other day about excess fees for transactions where transaction costs are some amount larger than the value being transferred

not saying that’s the solution, because i’m sure there are a bucket of unintended consequences with that (and i probably didn’t even understand it properly) - but, my point is more that once this hopefully passes it’s definitely something we should all be thinking about from all the possible angles

and, my point with my original post, is i think this is a problem that plagues xmr and ltc too (even if it hasn’t shown itself yet, it seems like it’s something to think about at least)

Great reply. What ends up happening is totally up to devs but I doubt will see a block increase. I remember fees being $50 to send $10 worth of bitcoin back in the day. If that did not make them change I don’t think this will. And this is happening with daily volume a lot lower then last fee run
