Hey Bitcoin, where did all the transaction go?

Remember just a few days ago when Bitcoin’s Blocks were full, transaction fees were high and everybody was talking about a scaling solution?

Well, for some magical reason transactions have disappeared after miners agreed to upgrade to Segwit and increase the block size limit.  

## Was the Spam politically driven? 

I can’t help but think that the small Bitcoin Transactions that were spamming the network were used to manipulate the block size debate.

Today, transactions can be handled by the network with a small transaction fee. Moreover, the implementation of Segwit would increase network capacity by at least 70%, so there wouldn’t really be any need to increase block size in the near future. 

## What are your thoughts on this issue, what do you think happened to all the low-fee Bitcoin transactions?
