But come to think of it, even at 2sat/vB, we still have over 28,100 unconfirmed transactions, maybe some people don't want to pay any fee at all...lol.
You just described what a phyric victory this is!
So it's not that much about the code or the people defeating ordinals, which still get minted even as we speak but a complete loss in demand for block space, and think of the numbers that some claim, tes and hundred of millions of so-called "users" and without ordinals you don't have more than 120k in the last days willing to spend or transfer coins!
There was no battle, both sides just decided to return home!
Now for another moment. Everyone is waiting for bitcoin mass adoption and widespread distribution of the bitcoin, when they will pay for it left and right, when there will be a very big user base.
Not going to happen, almost everyone is just waiting for a moment to sell at huge return, once the ordinal fomo truly goes down and not even 1sat/b ones are mined then you will see half empty blocks just like before February, the usage is simply not there, the p2p features has just been forgotten and the focus has shifted to investment.
