## Resource

A new Bitcoin experiment called DOG Mode is stirring up controversy by tweaking how transactions flow through the network—not the core rules, but the traffic system. Backed by Ordinals supporters, it champions a free-market approach to block space, treating all valid transactions equally. Critics fear it could fragment the network, creating conflicting views on unconfirmed transactions and messing with fee estimates. It’s not a fork, but a philosophical showdown over censorship and control in Bitcoin’s future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
