> In bitcoin terms it’s gotten cheaper. I hope you’re not serious here. 🫠 Anyway, the evidence is the size growth of the UTXO set. Check the link below. There’s also the testimonial evidence from node runners that made a fresh IBD in the past year, all of them reporting slower node sync, especially when downloading the past 2 years worth of blocks. Of course you can always claim that they are dishonest, which is why you should try an IBD yourself, ideally on a machine with 4-8GB of RAM.

Am I wrong about it being cheaper in bitcoin terms? “Although non-payment related transactions occupy about 50% of each block, the majority of the fees paid in each block are still coming from payments. This data shows how non-payment transactions (spam) are displacing payment transactions, this is forcing payment transactions to pay a much higher fee to be included in blocks.” Isn’t this good for miner decentralization? The mempools are empty and miners are getting most of their revenue from the subsidy reward. That’s not good.
