What exactly... will make fees go up high again?
Are we adding more Bitcoiners who are going out to use Bitcoin? No.
More merchants? Not really.
Price volatility for traders? I mean... maybe. But it's not payments so much as people sending and receiving to an exchange.

Most of the Stackers know how to use Lightning which is... CRAZY efficient. Buying one channel from an LSP with 1 million sats will cost you < 10$. Use and refill, use and refill, use and refill...

The only reason to transact is for a transaction more than 600-700$ or to move in/out of cold storage. That's it.

Have you heard of AI? Nonetheless if fees don't go back up (which they likely will, as they've done before), you're arguing in favor of bloating the blockchain with spam just to artificially make it more expensive to use Bitcoin? Not a great argument. What are the actual arguments against BIP110: spammers gonna spam? Cause that's weak ass.

The article is rather compelling. Until I hear an actually logical argument against BIP101 it's clear to me which way to vote.

No... no I'm not that is a crazy idea so no. But even if I wanted to...
The spammers don't want to pay for blockspace anymore.

The spammers only pay for ordinals/runes/inscriptions when they think someone will buy them from them... which they won't anymore so the spammers have left and we are at .1 sat/vbyte.

Even if I thought "spam was good" let's "bloat the chain" who's going to pay for it? Me? Core? Wall Street?

No the spammers have to pay, they did during the last havening they burned >37 BTC and what did it get them?

They left.
