 FEES MITIGATE SPAM ON BITCOIN.

ALL THE PANIC WAS A WASTE OF TIME. 
 Not if you control the money printer or monetize the spam which scammers are trying to do now 
 THEY SPENT A SHIT TON OF MONEY FOR NOTHING. 

MEMPOOLS ARE PRACTICALLY EMPTY RIGHT NOW. 
 Pending txs: 270k. Memory usage: 843 MB. I wish it was empty 
 BITCOIN IS WORKING AS DESIGNED.

IT WILL BE MUCH HIGHER WHEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE IT. 
 Checks node... yup its still working. I just opened a channel recently. Fees are very low 
 My walk around wallet is loaded and ready to use in any place that accepts it.  
 The utxo set, how’s that doing? 
 IDIOT WITH A MICROPHONE  
 It's clear by now that that is not true. if people keep drawing dicks on the blockchain at this rate, less nodes will want to store that shit.. decentralisation is fragile  
 You're a larpfluencer, dude. go put your tongue back in David Baileys  shitcoinhole and stop saying stupid shit like this because your pals are all scammers 
 It wasn’t panic. It was calling  out scammers and grifters for what they were, to protect our peers. Side benefit, reducing bloat and a social attack vector on Bitcoin. Yes we’re still vulnerable to this and yes you and others are sleeping at the wheel. This vector never ending is not an excuse for appeasement. And no, the spam hasn’t stopped because the fees are low. You just don’t notice them as much because you’re not looking.
