 Interesting development in a Dutch legal battle of someone who was 'encouraged' by his bank to sell his companies BTC holdings under threat of closing the account.

 I didn't promise, but if #Bitcoin jumps to $600,000 I will give 5 sats to zero people
So as not promised I will not be giving away 5 sats to zero person yesterday.

 Inscription madness.

Several blocks full of consolidation transactions, arpund 150 transactions fill a block:

They all consolidate 250 UTXOs of 294 sats each, but even with 1.78 sat/vB, they burn 40% on the transaction fee. Spend 30k to salvage 43k sats. Times many, many transactions.

I counted at least 500 of these transactions, but maybe many, many more, as I didn't dig into the rest of the mempool.

Oh well, miners be happy. 
 If there are 100M added UTXOs, and consolidating 250 costs about 30k sats in fees, that will cost 120 BTC to consolidate them. 
 If you're sending thicc amounts like this, obviously you don't care about the fees.

 It might not clear any time soon but the fee bands will get compacted more and more. There's still 80+ blocks below 2 sat/vB.

 Change it. Current system is broken. My follow list is 186kb. A subscription on those pubkeys explodes everything. Primal can't handle it at all, Amethyst barely handles it. A lot of other clients just give up because it's not allowed by most relays.

Lists shouldn't be that large.

 Not sure how attestation would change the REQ part though. If I migrate 2500 people into an attestation status, how can clients request for data on all those people? It'll hit either the REQ size limit or the subscription limit of relays.
