I have been watching the current unconfirmed transactions. It's funny how I keep seeing each time someone(Bots) paying 12 USD to send 1.45 USD ?? Please check it yourself.
But why would anyone (Firm), I suspect CME here waste money spamming the network just to delay other useful transactions? A way to bring the price down? Or from BCH passionate forkers ?
Well, good news for them, BTC is heading to 8K and possibly 10k before the end of the year if they continue with the spam!
See example below.
