At least runes didn't seem to spike onchain fees as much as 2022-23. I only noticed it a couple of times and it went back down pretty fast.

What the heck happened this year?

Edit: runes

I answered my own question

Runes

It's so strange. Do you know anyone using Runes or talking about it? I don't. Maybe those shitcoiners are all on Twitter...

No but I don't consort with crypto people.

I still don't know what Runes is. At one point I did but can't remember.

Please don't tell me.

I will ask chatgpt

I don’t think I would describe it well anyways so Chat GPT probably a better option.

Let's check back in a year.

And it's gooooone.

I think Runes was a fad. Could be wrong. Maybe they get another surge of interest in a raging bull.

wait... aren't op_return outputs unspendable?

OP_RETURN is a Shitcoin.

Runes hype already is declining. Soon OP_RETURN stats will be almost zero
