I also really hope that this attack will end naturally and we won't be forced to take any counter-measures (censorship as you call it).
DeFi is around the corner for btc , sooner or later someone will find a way to make it real , then the real pain will kick in . If that happens i expect insane fee prices , what happened so far in mempool will look like a fart compared to a nuke . Anyway , it's an interesting time to see how things will evolve .
