The Block experts reported that the number of transactions in the bitcoin network has declined to a level that has not been observed for 19 months, while the first cryptocurrency rate exceeds $ 100,000.

According to analysts, the average number of transactions per week decreased to 317,000 per day, and in early June only 256,000 transactions were processed – this is at least from October 2023. With this reduction in activity, miners began to include transactions with minimal commissions, below the threshold of 1 Satoshi per byte, experts indicated.

They emphasized that the Bitcoin Core community is an active discussion about such transactions. One of the groups of developers has published a letter in which they called for not blocking low -paid transactions if miners are ready to include them.

According to the developers, the filtering of such transactions is fundamentally contradicting the philosophy of the Bitcoin network and its decentralized basis. At the same time, a similar approach can provoke the growth of spam translators, which will reduce the effectiveness of the blockchain by several times, experts noted.

Earlier, experts of the analytical platform Cryptoquant compared the current market cycle with bull phases of 2017 and 2021. According to them, market behavior demonstrates features that are atypical for past growth periods.
