bitcoin basics for the confused.

blockchain consensus: defines what gets into the blockchain. hard rules. simple and clean. obey or fork. changes once a decade. blocksize wars.

mempool policy: defines what gets into your personal mempool. soft rules. nothing happens if you don't obey. changes regularly. complex and depends on implementation. does not prevent transactions from entering the blockchain.
