Who are pumping them? I do not want to believe it is not bitcoin people.
We can all speculate that it's not the bitcoin enthusiast that is pumping them. Maybe it did come from the altcoin market, who is well known to this kind of pump and dump. But who knows, we are all taking about money here, and so everyone has it's intention behind to follow the trend and what not. I'm not aware of those ordinals though, I'm not into it. But I was just surprised that the mempool was congested again since Friday if I'm not mistaken. It had settled down a bit to 30 sat/vB before this ordinals and now goes again to 200 sat/vB - 300 sat/vB which is really ridiculous price for a transaction.

Most of the investors these days have Bitcoin on their wallet. There are what we called small investors and big investors. If you are referring "bitcoin people" to small investors then it's clearly not true that they are the cause of the pump. Small investors can't pump price especially if the marketcap of a currency is huge such as Bitcoin. The big pump in the market, you can determine it by those impulsive or big candlesticks, is caused by big investors or institutions. Once they see that the currency is legit they will not hesitate to invest and it will make a big changes to the price which can bring hype to all other investors.

My guess would be some speculators on one of the crypto pumping group, they pump it in hope for other people buying it more classic pump-and-dump strategies. From I have read, most of the community doesn't like BRC20 because it increase the transaction fees of Bitcoin. The one who can be trapped on this scheme would be the new comer.

I have a question, what qualify someone to be bitcoin people? Just owning Bitcoin?
I am referring to those early adopters, miners and developers. Two developers surfaced on the news about how Ordinals and BRC20 tokens are spamming the mempool and that they should be removed, but there are still others developers that will support it. I do not believe anymore that Ordinals existence which some people called vulnerability was not knowingly introduced by bitcoin developers. It is now too late, there is nothing that can be done than to work on how to reduce mempool congestion. That's rather strict way to define Bitcoin people. Anyway, i don't expect miner/pool to oppose Ordinals while only minority developer strongly against BRC-20 while majority seems to neutral or doesn't state their opinion.

Can you see the mempool? Very congested.
Who are the ones pumping SATS and RATS? I can see CATS on Polonix pumped 400% today. Probably they will bounce on it to pump it more.
You know the funniest thing? No presale, no social media, no advertisement for these tokens.
SATS pumped almost 10 times in 2 weeks. Having over $1.75 billion now in marketcap. RATS almost pumped 30 times in 3 or 4 weeks CATS pumped 4 times today.
Who are pumping them? I do not want to believe it is not bitcoin people.
Indeed. But there's nothing we can do about it if we want to keep Bitcoin censorship-resistant. It's a permissionless network after all. You can either wait until fees decline (usually on weekends) or switch to an altcoin with lower network congestion. You can also get into the Lightning Network after on-chain fees decline to an acceptable level. Afterwards, it'll be possible to send/receive BTC almost instantaneously at a fraction of the cost. Just like ICOs became a passing fad, I believe the same will happen with Ordinals NFTs. You just need to be patient. As long as decentralization is preserved, nothing else matters. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

They can not be pumped forever. They will be cooled down and even crashed soon. I wish luckiness for any people who are joining those pump and dump games. Indeed.

The Inside Story of the CryptoKitties Congestion CrisisThe DeFi, NFT, GameFi waves in 2021 caused congestion on Ethereum blockchain too but again finally it cleared. Ethereum network congested in 2021 because of dApps. Bitcoin blockchain had problems with mempools, high demands and expensive transaction fees many times but finally it cleared. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),all,weightI agree that the Bitcoin blockchain must be permissionless and censorship-resistant but I also see if there is no solution for Ordinals, problems in mempools will become worse and worse before Ordinals die for good.

Since the BRC20 few coins have been listed on the market, a lot of hero has accumulated in them. Investors are so pressured to buy that ORDI, SATS, DOVI, RATS etc are investing heavily in these coins. Since last few days these markets have high volume and lots of people investing here due to which the price of these coins has increased rapidly. According to the current congestion of these coins, we may see it at higher levels in the future. We have seen its price increase rapidly since its listing on the ORDI exchange along with Bitcoin and the future of these coins could be even brighter.

Exactly. You can see how the hype slowly fades away as people move on to the next big thing in crypto. These Ordinals NFTs are nothing more than pure speculation. What real use cases do they have? Nothing. With due time, fees on the BTC blockchain will decline as speculators and/or whales move on to other chains that are faster and cheaper to use. As much as I don't like Ordinals, I wouldn't recommend blocking/filtering them because that would make Bitcoin prone to censorship. The future can't be predicted, so lets hope for the best. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Nowadays 1 sat/vByte is just a dream that is hard to come true for bitcoin transaction fees, but in the past 1 sat/vByte was real.

Well, the sooner we stop beating about the Bush, the better for us, the truth is that, a lot of bitcoin people are actually excited about this projects, as long as they get to money, that's all they are after. As painful or disappointing as this may seem, the truth remains that, not very many care much about the health and well-being of the bitcoin network, they care not whether the fees are off the roof, all they care for is to make money, and they do not care what or who gets affected by their actions. I have a bitcoin payment I am supposed to have sent since 3 days ago, but can't because the high fees, as I just can't get myself to agreeing to pay a fee of $15 to $20 just to send $50 worth of bitcoins to another wallet. This thing is really painful and annoying at the same time.

Simply pumping by traders and the market-making team. When a token gets listed on an exchange, there are traders and market makers as well. Whales will also work to pump a token price; this is called call manipulation. There is a lot of syndicate work behind a token when it pumps without marketing or without community. But sometimes emotions would pump as well. Each exchange has a trading community that creates volume there. Sometimes they start focusing on a token, and that's how they start pumping as well. But we don't know the true reason, actually.

I think new people who aren't familiar with stuff like this could pretty easily get tricked into these schemes. But I agree that just like ICOs turned out to be a passing trend, the same thing's gonna happen with these Ordinals NFT things. We just gotta be patient - they can't keep hyping this stuff up forever. The fees to do stuff on the Bitcoin blockchain will have to come down eventually, and this too shall pass. All we can really do is wait for sanity to return to the market.

get use to it, its not going away. Maybe you are one of the bitcoin miners benefiting from the high fees, but trust me, this is actually not very good for bitcoin and it's adoption.. We all anticipate a time when we walk into restaurants, supermarkets, and other business hubs, pick a few things or make a few transactions and settle the bills in bitcoin easily, but then, with the fees this high, that cant be possible as it makes no sense to spend $10 or more in fees for an items purchased at $5 worth of bitcoins. Except everyone are going to switch to lightning network, or we all give up the idea of bitcoin being a means of payment for goods and services, and simply focus on it being a store of value.

I also agree with you that btc doesn't necessarily Need to prove itself as a micropayment-system inorder to be considered successful, permissionless store of value is enough. However you can’t have a rock solid store of value without strong mining incentive to secure the network, and with the block subsidy eventually becoming nothing, it's very important that fees remain high.

The average trader takes advantage of this moment to make a profit - once they get what they want, they can move on to other, more profitable projects. BRC20 is considered bad because of its impact on mempool resulting in high bitcoin transaction fees - but either way, sensors are not the best solution.

If the community doesn't do anything about the fees, mainstream adoption for BTC will decline at a very fast pace. Average people will just switch to another cryptocurrency with lower network congestion (cheaper and faster to use). With the halving underway, things will only get worse. There's no denying that miners are cashing out big time with the Ordinals craze. They don't care if users have to pay high fees, as long as their pockets are filled with money. Maybe developers will find a way to lower fees without blocking/filtering Ordinals inscriptions? I'd say Bitcoin already entered uncharted territory. We can't predict what will happen in the long run, so lets hope for the best. Just my opinion ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
