According to @Excellion, Luke Dashjr was the only developer who publicly pushed to decrease Bitcoin’s block size during earlier debates, underscoring a minority position in core policy discussions (source: Samson Mow on X, Sep 25, 2025). A block size reduction would mechanically lower base-layer transaction capacity and tends to intensify fee competition when demand is steady, directly affecting BTC transaction fees and exchange withdrawal costs relevant to active traders (source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide — Blocks and Transactions). Traders tracking BTC should monitor fee-rate bands, mempool backlog, and average confirmation times to optimize execution if block-size policy discussion elevates fee pressure and on-chain congestion (source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide; Samson Mow on X).
