Price-wise, (yes, this thread IS about that too, apart from trolling) bumping up from 10200$ (Finex) makes me feel bullish again. If we break down from that then it's going 9xxx. Maybe BTC has a chance for glory after all. Right now only XMR hodlers are happy, everybody else is bleeding...

Amazing. Haven't seen it this low in a long long time.

Hate to be Debby Downer here at all but the question has to be asked, does that empty mempool then also mean less pressure from traffic/volume of Bitcoin use.

I honestly don't know how to answer that. All I do know is I'm happy to see the spamming has stopped, transaction fees are the lowest they have been in a long time, and transactions are clearing quite quickly - compared to the insanity of Dec/Jan.

Would you mind elaborating? I don't think I get it... above 1M block?
Ah ok, you edited the above. Yes, now makes sense.
