Bitcoin's Price Is Moving—But Is the Network Confirming It?
Bitcoin is trading around the **$77K area**, yet one of today’s most overlooked signals is not the candle—it is how much users are willing to pay to get transactions confirmed.
If Bitcoin is truly entering a high-demand phase, why are transaction fees still relatively calm?
Recent Bitcoin fee data shows the median fee near **1 sat/vB** from August 25–31, while the mempool remained around **0.7 MB**. That points to relatively quiet demand for blockspace.
Fees are not simply “high = bullish.” They are a **demand thermometer**.

Looking at daily fees, one cannot help but be shocked
- Uniswap’s fees over the past 24 hours surpassed Circle’s, ranking second only to Tether; the fee capture of the second-largest stablecoin issuer was surpassed by the largest on-chain DEX protocol
- Robinhood Chain’s native launcher Pons generated as much as $6 million in fees over the past 24 hours, surpassing Solana’s Meme money printer Pumo Fun and ranking fourth across the entire network
- Robinhood Chain’s daily fees have risen to new highs for four consecutive days, surpassing Hyperliquid for the first time in history

This return has me feeling nervous, worried the market will figure it out tomorrow and blacklist me 😂 When it plunged intraday, $NIL looked like it was falling, but when it rebounded, there was absolutely no one buying; the sell orders got heavier with each wave, while volume barely followed. I judged that buying support was insufficient, so I opened a short at 0.06426 accordingly. Just now I saw NIL at 0.04768, and +1243.29% was quietly sitting in my account 🤑

Brothers, don’t get reckless—profit in hand is what really counts. Take 80% off the table first, and move the stop-loss on the rem

This rebound after the decline to 4288 cannot reverse the situation.
Lao Jin recommends focusing on shorting at rebound highs,
with the first resistance zone at 4360~4375,
where short positions can be established, targeting 4290, and 4240 below if it breaks down.
Standing on the shore, one can only watch the vast sea; entering the game is how one seizes the opportunity.
Lao Jin will enter the game with you.

I originally wanted to cut my losses as a sacrifice to the heavens, but the sacrifice never happened—the meat cooked itself. A few days ago, it was the last thing I looked at before bed: the rebound was getting weaker, selling pressure was growing, and the bids simply couldn’t absorb it—a textbook last gasp. I placed a short order at 0.06851, and when I woke up, the current price was 0.04599, with a return of +2332.38%. This meat went down nicely; staying up late wasn’t in vain.

Here’s a quick note on my position management: I first closed 80%, and protected the remaining 20% at the entry pr
