Ok. I can't figure out what's going on with the mempool, pending transaction fees, or unconfirmed transaction counts.

We're in fucking bat country again, Goddamnit.

His sense tingling more than ever, Badger can almost perfectly see the shape of the creature hiding behind that tree. It's a Bear! And not any kind of bear. This is the fiercest, most blood thirsty kind: A CRYPTOBEAR. Adrenalin rushes through our hero's veins as he swiftly turns around and jumps for a surprise attack. Was about time... The crypto bear pounces out of the bushes right at that same instant. Conflict is now inevitable, the fight is on!

In the sport of ferret-legging, competitors tie their trousers at the ankles before placing two ferrets inside and securely fastening their belts to prevent the ferrets from escaping.[2] Each competitor then stands in front of the judges for as long as he can.[4] Competitors cannot be drunk or drugged, nor can the ferrets be sedated.[5] In addition, competitors are not allowed to wear underwear beneath their trousers,[6] which must allow the ferrets free access from one leg to the other,[7] and the ferrets must have a full set of teeth that must not have been filed or otherwise blunted.[5] The winner is the person who lasts the longest.[8]

The sport is said to involve very little "native skill",[7] simply an ability to "have your tool bitten and not care".[9] The former world champion, Reg Mellor, is credited with instituting the practice of wearing white trousers in ferret-legging matches, to better display the blood from the wounds caused by the animals.[9] Competitors can attempt, from outside their trousers, to dislodge the ferrets, but as the animals can maintain a strong hold for long periods, their removal can be difficult.[2]

The ferrets are occasionally put inside the contestants' shirts in addition to their trousers.[10] An attempt to introduce a female version of the sport—ferret busting, in which female contestants introduced ferrets down their blouses—proved unsuccessful.[11]

Comment: (Posted this as comment instead of updating idea. One more time...)

Wow... First of all, thank you fellow viewers for all this load of praises. It's the kind of fire that would warm the heart of any storyteller. I feel overwhelmed, and at the same time to have started this popular story with a typo. Hope you'll forgive me as TV doesn't allow edits. In any case, the "tale" goes on. And now for the update on or hero's journey:

Pushing through dense foliage, Badger made its way through the forest. The main road to the hills was even in sight! Unfortunately, the forest wasn't keen on letting our brave soldier escape that easily. Concealed under an unassuming bed of leaves, a pitfall! Corn lost its way once again, and climbing back seems like hardly achievable at this point. Our hero will have to continue its journey through the forest until it arrives at the next fork at 8.5~9k. From there, he might be able to follow the river upstream, climbing back to the more promising hills, or not and go straight down to the swamps...

Dear Friends,

This is the tell of a hero, and the incredible journey he will follow to answer his true calling: Become the leader and savior of a kingdom once dominated by evil forces. But such great reward doesn't come that easily, and many challenges await on the road.

You will have guessed, this hero's name is Badger "Corn" Bitcoin -0.20% . And like every good fantastic story, his ultimate goal is to kill the evil lord of this scorched land, the dragon of many faces, the one whose name raise fear in every heart... But I will tell you more about him another time. Badger has to reach Mount King, there are many ways to get to it. Let's take a closer look at the possible places Bitcoin -0.20% might visit.

1. The Dark Forest ($8-11k)
At the moment, our hero is lost in the dark forest. Indeed its not easy to find one's path in the deep woods of this malicious place. Every path looks the same. Let's hope he will find the exit that leads to the hoping hills

2. Hoping Hills ($12-15k)
The exit to the hoping hills is in the northern part of the woods. Above 12k and Badger will have an easy stroll through this rather friendly countryside, populated by enthusiastic bulls. Another, more tortuous way leaves the the forest at around 8.5~9k and also leads to the hills.

3. The Swamps of Anger ($3-4k)
Countless have lost their lives drowned in the swamps. Stay on the path and you might find the fork that leads to the low pass. Choose well though, a wrong turn and you'll end up in a place no one ever came back from

4. The Dungeon of Capitulation ($1-2k)
Here is the most dangerous place on the map. I have yet to come across a soul to tell the story of what lies in the depths of the dungeon. If Bagder ever wanders in those parts, his will will be most likely tested like never before. He will have to gather all his strength and courage to not give in to the dark forces that haunt this place.

5. The Desert of Despair (---)
Might our beloved hero loose all faith, he will probably miss the path that shoots off the dungeon and end up wandering in the endless desert of despair. Who knows when, where and if he will get out of this forsaken land.

6. The Low Pass
This is one hell of a tricky road. Falling rocks, steep cliffs and venomous vipers are expected to be bothering our brave Corn 0.41% . But the road eventually leads to the summit.

7. The High Pass
The easier road to Mount King. Follow the edge of the mountain to summit. Watch out for the crevasses

8. Mount King
Here it is! The top of the mountain. Mount King is a key milestone and from there Badger will be able to see what lies beyond, and what lies beyond is another chapter of this fantastic journey.

That Darkforest TA graph is the best TA analysis ever ... merited.

For a threat to have the desired effect the subject must be convinced the threat is credible. Preparations are essential.

It is amazing to see. going from over 200k down to under 100 at certain points.

I don't think an empty mempool is a bullish sign, but, hard to tell since most of those 200k transactions at the height were spam.
