Today marks the 13th anniversary of the creation of block 94947. It was the block with the most transactions on that day. There were 13 transactions in total.

How is it 0 fee?

If there were only 13 transactions, then why pay a fee? There was no competition to be in the block

Does this still apply to present? Imagine if all these retards stop minting BRC-20 tokens and the fee rate drops back down to 1sat/vB, with most blocks not being full. Would I be able to make a transaction with 0 sat? And why would a miner choose to include my transaction if he doesn't get anything? This is an interesting discussion.

I'm not sure either. But it could be because there was little demand back then. Maybe it was a kind of incentive. After all, there were already several blocks like this, and the block reward (50 BTC) should have been enough.
