PANews reported on November 26 that Vitalik Buterin, in response to Twitter user nikete, stated that while the Ethereum network plans to increase the gas cap and reduce the cost of inefficient operations, the actual selection of transactions in a block is still entirely determined by market mechanisms, "not like Bitcoin." He emphasized that the total block gas is set by validator votes, and many validators will consider the suggestions of core developers, but the final transaction selection is still determined by the free market.
