The Bitcoin mempool is getting weird. 3 blocks in a row at over 500 sats/vByte.

How are people even affording this‽

I know I sure as hell can't. I can't buy $100 of Bitcoin and pay $50 in fees. I can only assume they're selling Shitcoins.

I was going to buy some sats today but I guess I’ll wait

I have $100 on Gemini from gas rewards that I'd like to transfer at some point but I don't want to lose half of it in fees, so I guess I'll wait. I'm in no rush.

Yep things seem odd, but Odell says Bitcoin working as it should which I get but this is a very hyper accelerated fee period . Guess we’ll see how it pans out over time 🤷‍♂️

Things are working as intended, but the fiat price does not reflect the sats fees IMO.

Exactly

It’s because it’s not being used as most thought would happen. Data storage as opposed to monetary value currently but that will change as wider adoption occurs. Fees will remain higher but value will also increase. Strange to see its use case currently that’s all 🤷‍♂️

Seems a good time to start mining, or?

It is. I brought my miners outside to the garage and cranked up the wattage today.

High priority currently 512 sats/vB, medium priority 435 sats/vB. Crazy!

WTF.

Are 0 btc transactions going through the mempool with with transaction fees?!?

What The Fee.

Binance is probably washing money
