Bitcoin maxis continue to pile up mistakes. Bitcoin had worked perfectly well before it hit the artificial block size limit: people actually used Bitcoin and paid fees. The user base was growing, and the plan to replace subsidy with fees was working. Now, thanks to L2 lunatics who demanded to cripple Bitcoin at crackbrained 7 transactions per second, no one uses Bitcoin to transact, the blocks are empty, and today their goal is to completely deplete the security budget. The only way forward for Bitcoin to stay secure and decentralized is to increase the block size, leave the minimum fee as is, and hope that some of those businesses who have already switched to other blockchains might come back.
