On the other hand what you're currently seeing with fees going up and transactions being delayed is a concerted spam effort coordinated by people trying to make it look like the bitcoin blockchain is congested and needs a controversial 2x upgrade in November which is being pushed by the NYA miners when most of the userbase and developers are against it and will not agree to their threats. It's artificial and does not represent the real economy situation.

Even if the spam is artificial, blockchain is really congested. Nothing artificial about it.
We need a solution, one way or another.

1) You either allow spam and include it in blocks, thereby making blocks bigger and bigger.
2) You price spammers out of the market.
What are the alternatives?

1) and 2) are bad for normal bitcoin users. We need 3) transactions are fast and not $2 or more.

show proof jihan is spamming

oh wait, he does empty blocks, so cant be adding spam to blocks..
oh wait jihan is mining bch not btc so cant be adding spam to btc...

LOGIC!!!
you cant accuse someone of making empty blocks aswell as filling blocks of spam .. it makes no sense

I do not know if someone is spamming, but mining empty blocks and filling other blocks have the same result: unconfirmed transactions and fees pile up.
