Oh lmao . I ' m natty and don ' t plan on using . <| sep |> Imagine turning up to your hotel after a long flight only to find that your room has been taken because someone else offered to pay more for your room . You can get another room by paying more than someone else who hasn ' t yet checked in yet or you can come back and try again tomorrow . Highly annoyed you pull out an extra $ 100 for a room , but hey at least you now have somewhere to sleep you vow never to use that hotel again . After reaching your room you are curious if any other hotels have the same payment practices you make some calls and quickly discover that all hotels in that town follow the same practice . Because there is not enough hotel room capacity they can get away with highest payer gets to check into the room . That is how the bitcoin fee market is currently operating it is causing chaos . Another hotel chain opens in that town and promises to reserve a room for you when you book at a standard fixed rate . They are a good sized hotel with faster checkin times , although their reputation is not as well established yet . From now on , whenever you travel to that town you will stay with them and you recommend to all your acquaintances that they use that hotel too . This is what an Alt Coin might offer . And the point of the analogy is that full blocks create a fee market which causes wildly unpredictable wait times and a really poor user experience and only serves to drive user to an alt coin . Driving people to other coins can only serve to weaken the bitcoin network and is a reckless and stupid outcome , particularly when no layers on top of bitcoin exist and are established . This could all have been avoided a year ago . Who is it that thinks this kind of chaotic behavior of bitcoin network and the failure to consider end users experience is actually a good idea ?
