According to @OrangeSurfBTC, the Mempool Block Size Report explores the evolution of Bitcoin's block size since 2009, highlighting that miner behavior and Bitcoin Core defaults, rather than merely the 1 MB consensus limit, have significantly influenced block size growth. This report estimates that approximately 8% of the block size changes can be attributed to these factors, which is crucial for traders to understand as it affects transaction fees and confirmation times.

According to Farside Investors, a link to the book 'The Blocksize War' on Amazon has been shared. This book delves into the contentious debates and decisions surrounding Bitcoin's block size, a crucial factor impacting transaction speed and network scalability. Traders may find valuable historical insights and perspectives on Bitcoin's development and the broader implications for the cryptocurrency market.
