I would push back on Lopp's argument that "no one is using Bitcoin/blockspace". This is completely NOT true. Holders are using Bitcoin everyday to protect their wealth from debasement and censorship. Blockspace not used is not relevant at this point because Bitcoin is not mature as a medium of transaction or unit of account. This take from Lopp clearly demonstrates that he is missing the forest for the tree.

„This year, block propagation has slowed down, because some transactions are missing from node mempools.“ That’s a disadvantage for miners who include transactions containing non-monetary data. If miners don’t include them, there’s no delay. So does this finally mean filters aren’t useless after all?
