I’m old enough to remember when Casey Rodamor said the mempool would never clear again after he invented ordinals & inscriptions
quoting nevent1q…ks5jMempool cleared at blocks 777653, 77654, & 77655
The block fees didn't get very expensive overall with the ordinals drama. A lot less that the spike in Nov 2022 with the FTX & Binance drama.
The ordinals drama also happened to coincide with Binance's routine consolidation dumping.
Majority of txs were < 2 sat/vB (pink).
At it's peak, the avg tx fees were ~5-6 sat/vB, compared to the avg spiking to ~12-15 sat/vB in Nov.
