The part where it blurs is the misalignment of the incentives with miners taking side payments to process ordinals.

The #Bitcoin fee market is the only truly free market in the world and messing with that is criminal IMO.

I hope it doesn't present a problem in the future and we see mining pools captured and certain transactions processed ahead of others. Although I think miners would point hash to more "neutral" pools, I can foresee issues

Fair point. But as a paradox, any "free" market is totally free of any intervention. So, Ordinals, by your own logic, and the side mining issue, adheres to a freer market than shaming or banning them etc.

Market forces and consensus of the Core will dictate inscriptions. Pretty free IMO.

Free-er markets are not what we are here for. Totally free and transparent incentive structures are the goal IMO
