 GM to the Bitcoin degens who did heavy mints on Stacks L2 yesterday.
 It was great to see blocks with 8x-10x more <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="transaction" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/transaction.html">transaction</a>s. The bulk of throughput improvements will go live with the Nakamoto release and WASM.
