According to @adam3us, as Bitcoin technology improves, cryptographic fungibility should increase and the blockchain will converge to a cryptographic accumulator where transactions become indistinguishable blobs, making censorship and filtering impractical (Source: @adam3us on X, Aug 20, 2025). For traders, his view implies blockspace demand from any use case can still bid for inclusion, so fee dynamics are set by aggregate demand rather than policy-based filtering; monitor mempool congestion, sat/vB fee bands, and miner fee share of revenue as leading signals for BTC volatility and miner income sensitivity (Source: @adam3us on X, Aug 20, 2025). If filtering becomes ineffective as argued, attempts to exclude transaction types would not sustainably suppress fees, keeping attention on fee-market liquidity and on-chain throughput constraints when positioning around BTC catalysts (Source: @adam3us on X, Aug 20, 2025).

According to @BitMEXResearch, Satoshi Nakamoto emphasized that paying a higher fee lets users outbid others to get included, reinforcing Bitcoin’s pay-for-priority mempool dynamics; source: @BitMEXResearch tweet dated Aug 19, 2025. Traders should expect faster confirmations for BTC transfers with higher fee rates during mempool congestion and slower settlement for low-fee exchange deposits and withdrawals, impacting execution timing and arbitrage; source: @BitMEXResearch. This fee competition can increase the share of miner revenue from transaction fees during busy periods, a signal traders monitor alongside mempool pressure and exchange deposit latency; source: @BitMEXResearch.
