Looking at the merkle branches that mining pools send to miners as part of stratum jobs, it's clear that the BTCcom pool, Binance pool, Poolin, EMCD, Rawpool, and possibly Braiins* have exactly the same template and custom transaction prioritization as AntPool.

The value proposition of crypto is tokens, NFTs, and AMMs. Bitcoin now has inscriptions, a superior NFT standard, and soon runes, a superior token standard. Soon it'll also have something superior to AMMs. The other chains can all get fucked.
