Me and difficulty adjustments. I should really quit, I've won 6 times at Kempton today on horses but this adjustments.. 
Turn out my prediction as completely off the mark, pace is just as fast:
so it means we had
-on average extra 5% capacity
-weekend + two Christmas holiday days
and yet the fees hold high and hover from 60 to 100 sat/vb, also the distance to 10sat/vb is still the same , 213vMB as I type, almost no changes, so guess this was the last chance to see fees in the 20sat/vb, I doubt new years eve will be able to do something either, despite following the same weekend pattern.

Do you really want to let people chose again what they want, like in a 4 years cycle elections?

The difficulty adjustment is coming in 24 hours and the current pace is 5.4%, that means 95 extra blocks have been mined compared to normal, a thing that might change to less blocks mined next period, meaning less capacity, which you guess it, means higher fees!

Wanna repeat the era that gave birth to every failed fork of Bitcoin? I would rather not.
