Ethereum’s Great Fee Collapse: Cheaper Than Soviet Rations!

In the shadow of technological progress, Ethereum has stumbled upon a peculiar truth: it may be cheaper now to send a transaction than to bribe a KGB official in 1984. As of January 16, daily transactions leaped to 2.9 million, a figure so staggering it would make Lenin blush-if he weren’t already buried under a monument of bureaucracy. Yet the triumph is hollow. The Fusaka hard fork, that noble experiment in December 2025, has tripled block gas limits with such vigor that the network now sputters like an underfed Soviet Traktor, gas prices hovering near the decimal point. To transfer funds is to offer the blockchain a tip smaller than your grandmother’s secret recipe for borscht. Under $0.0002 per transaction! The people, seduced by this illusion of abundance, now dream of a decentralized utopia where fees vanish like the last loaf of black bread. How naïve they are to believe technology will ever serve them, rather than the other way around.
