meanwhile r/btc is calm and collected. I suspect r/bitcoin is targeted by certain entities seeking to instill doubt and divide the community. the network is going through its usual boring phase of doubling the block size by way of emerging consensus. around this time just before the block size jumps there's a lul in efficiency that translates into higher transaction fees. if you're a psycopathic pumper dumper it's a good time to scream that the sky is falling as loud as you can.
