I wonder if the ETFs are going to keep on chain fees low for us plebs. 

 🤔🤔 maybe.. haven’t thought about it like that… 

 I think that's the natural state.  Lower fees are good for users.  My contrary opinion is that fees will go down over time.  Lots talk about UTXO consolidation because they think fees will be way higher in the future. 

 That’s an interesting theory, I could see that playing out. 

 The amount of transactions in blocks is still plenty high. Blocks are full, just of low fee rate transactions. This just means there there aren't a lot of folks trying to get their transactions prioritized. My mempool still shows 74 block's worth of transactions waiting to clear, and mempool.space shows 97 blocks worth.

So, the amount of activity actually hitting the chain is the same, because mempools still haven't cleared. We're not seeing any partially full blocks at all. It's just that most of the transactions waiting in the mempools are in no rush to make it into a block. 

 Call me when mempools clear and none of the blocks are full. 

 I don’t like my transaction hanging out in the mempool forever lol.. people must have time on their hands. Thanks for the clarification 🤝
