https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secessio_plebis
"(withdrawal of the commoners, or secession of the plebs) was an informal exercise of power by Rome's plebeian citizens between the 5th century BC and 3rd century BC., similar in concept to the general strike. During the secessio plebis, the plebs would abandon the city en masse in a protest emigration and leave the patrician order to themselves. Therefore, a secessio meant that all shops and workshops would shut down and commercial transactions would largely cease. This was an effective strategy in the Conflict of the Orders due to strength in numbers; plebeian citizens made up the vast majority of Rome's populace and produced most of its food and resources, while a patrician citizen was a member of the minority upper class, the equivalent of the landed gentry of later times."
Does it sound familiar, Bitcoiners?

The minrelaytxfee default value of 1000/kvB (1 sat/vbyte) has been set in Bitcoin nodes since 2013 or earlier. In 2013, 1000 sats were priced at $0.01, today it is about 100 times more. Wouldn't you like to consider adjusting your node configuration and lower the hurdle, perhaps? I would suggest setting minrelaytxfee=0.00000001 (which translates to 0.001 sat/vbyte) as a rule of thumb. The value could be set in a bitcoin.conf file. There is negligible number of such reconfigured nodes relaying transactions with fee-rates below 1 sat/vbyte currently.
There is the intention to unblock transactions with fee-rate below 1 sat/vbyte in Bitcoin. Probably consolidation and multisig types of transactions would benefit the most.

"I have really learned that investing in myself has been way more rewarding than investing in Bitcoin. And I think it will return more in terms of material wealth anyway. But I don't think that's the real purpose of it. Investing in myself made me more resilient, more content person with more experiences in my life and no amount of money could have ever bought that anyway. And so one thing that I'm starting to say more and more to people privately is: invest in yourself before you invest in Bitcoin ["before" as in priorities not chronology]. Like there is yourself [on top], there is Bitcoin and there is everything else that you can invest in. And investing in yourself means building your network, building your skills, building your strength, your mindset, your resilience." - Evan (Captain Sidd https://xcancel.com/CaptainSidd) at the Once Bitten Podcast hosted by @npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2
