That transaction "Congestion" was completely manufactured to create urgency and panic. Supply and demand works great, just let it.

Not surprised; generally wanting to know:

Was that by purposefully disregarding transactions, or purposefully flooding the network with transactions to create "fake demand"?

First "fake news"; now "fake demand"! It never ends!!!

It was transaction flooding. The intention was to create a fake congestion, not fake demand. Anyhow, I believe the system should be enabled to handle higher traffic.

Even at 8MB, the 100+ MB mempool at peak congestion fould be cleared in 2 hours. Then we are back to sub 1MB blocks.

Anti big blockers tend to calculate the full blocks for years on end, which artificially inflates the whole block chain size.
