The tweet provoked a heated discussion. The –johoe user pointed out that AntPool has already managed to produce four blocks in a row, thus it has filled the mempool with SegWit transactions. If at block #547 566 the commission fee was still 0.04 BTC, says the user, at the next block, which was done by BTC.com, the fee jumped to 0.24 BTC.

Still, a lot of twitterians agreed that the pools are simply “digging their own grave” out of ideological principles while the BTC network is not vulnerable to this kind of censorship.
