IMHO there will be a solution…

IMHO there will be a solution to the fee market after the next halving when AI and the Nash Equilibrium set in and the mempool goes into 3 teirs:

Upper tier - high value tx that can afford high fees - not price sensitive - higher fees

Lower tier - long tail, developers, layer 2, poorest in the world - price sensitive - low fees

Middle tier - spammers and casino addicts - middle fees

If bitcoin optimizes for a larger middle tier it will cost the spammers more and more to disrupt the chain. Bitcoin functions as normal for everyone.
