I'm guessing if there is a new seasonality in the fee market.
Fees used to be higher in the early days, as nerds around the globe had more time to play with magic internet money.
Nowadays, fees are higher during weekdays, and Wall Street is trading the hardest currency in human history.
nah not wallstreet related.. a transaction doesnt care if it holds 1sat or 100,000btc. a transactions byte length for value is the same 4 bytes
the fee market is actually plagqued by scammer nerds victimising and penalising bitcoiners with junk data
