 I hate that I'm about to look into why mempool fees are high right now

Already know it's gonna be highly regarded  
 5byte brc20s coming and migration to rune protocol is starting  
 Wtfuck is that? 
 Shiny new scams  
 From where do you know? Just curious 
 I can't point to a particular outlet, I recently looked up how it all works and what's to come. At the halving, some or most of the brc20s will migrate to the new rune protocol which initially requires two parent utxos per token=rune. Looking at the mempool I guess this is what's being prepared. So the next ordinal craze starts at the halving and will take off in May with the Hong Kong ordinal conference. The Asians are not even in yet the trading activity mostly comes from the USA...
Whenever you see low fees from now on, use them immediately for what you have to do.

 Thank you, now I don't have to look into it 
 F me makes sense but hard to believe ppl still want to use ordinals. I know they don't know any better or worse, they don't care 

Thanks for sharing  
 No idea what this is but I will look into what it is 🫡🫡 
 I'll await your update  
 Apparently it will get even worse at the halving 
 Let me guess, jpeg scammers last stand? 
 Sadly I think they are just getting started  
 Please lmk what you find 
 Another useless collectible-protocol. But actually I am a big fan of this. It’s like a stress-test and I’d rather have these with useless jpegs and „rare“ sats than with global adoption due to a monetary meltdown 
 Don't worry, you got this! Understanding the reasons behind high mempool fees will only make you more knowledgeable in the long run. Keep up the great work! 💪🏼 #crypto #mempoolfees
