While listening to the panic all around onchain fees, I've been thinking myself about some weird scenarios.
After a while now, it feels like a mainstream thing to say it's an attack, but noone can explain the why?
I'm spitting my thoughts on this. Suppose the reaction will be to bury it as ridiculous.
Market controls, it's an old trick. Market-makers, daytraders, ect. use the tools developed on daily basis.
The bitcoin network block space is identified as the most scarce asset. Now it's more talked about this, but still the majority doesn't care, doesn't understand. Or, cannot comprehend that within a hard asset like bitcoin, there is another one tucked in.
Limited bitcoin supply, and coinbase mechanic, doesn't provide any possibility to control the market flow in a short term. But the block space is the shortest time lever that is possible to take under control. Approximately, every 10 minutes.
I'll make it here TL:DR version, no time for longer form at the moment. Hope it can spark some conversatiohn, before I'm able to write the long form.
- attack from shitcoiners, to keep their projects alive/ Or, is it:
- a form of a buy wall for plebs to be unable to stack small amounts before US ETFs start running
Hope this makes any sense. Please gib your thoughts on this.
