"A big reason for this back log is because a shitccoin called VBK (aka Veriblock)is spamming the Bitcoin blockchain to anchor in and leach off the security of Bitcoin's PoW with their token
They are spending 6-8 BTc a day paying BTC miners tx fees to do this, thus are losing money but they are choosing to do so because of short term speculation on their launch before they hit exchanges, thus it is doubtful this will last"
