The money masters have unlimited funding. They have means and motive to waste all the money they want. They know they cant stop it, but after previous jpeg BS they saw how it clogged block space and artificially increased tx fees. So, they finance it this time and make it much worse. Look at it as a DDoS-type attack on block space. So until someone comes up with a better explanation why so many idiots are paying these prices for jpegs, and now insane prices for dust, Im sticking with my theory. You can disagree all you want, does not change the fact that this is clearly an attack. There is literally no other rational or logic reason for it.
