Daily transactions dropped dramatically in Dec, 2024, unusual in light of hype from the media and Trump about a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve". After 18 months of 1-5% expired transactions, the mempool finally recovered and runs normally again.

The zoom-out view looks like maybe a rate limiter is in place now which kicks in around 500k-550k, about Bitcoin's empirical limit. Hmmmm.

I expect three or four more States to enact digital asset bills out of the 25 remaining bills and we'll see if that pops the transaction rate over 550k. I predict it won't. You should be wondering why, like me.
