Replying to ⚡ODT⚡

If a government pays miners to mine "useless" blocks, I think they should mine them.

The goverment will run out of money eventually (either depleting their resources or hyperinflating).

I don't find the inflation bug similar to the current situation, since it was actually a bug, not a feature.

The permissionless, open and censorship-resistance characteristics are features of Bitcoin, not bugs to be fixed.

Let me clarify, I don't care if ordinals are blocked, I don't care if the US gov's transactions are blocked. But if we start this path, where does it stop?

Maybe my transaction is next.

"The goverment will run out of money eventually ".

This is the point.

They will never run out of money, due to the fact that they have access to a money printer.

No other users of Bitcoin have access to a money printer.

This is exploitation of Bitcoins game theory, and is not a function of the free market.

They can sustain this attack long enough to ruin Bitcoin, before coming anywhere close to hyper inflating their national currency.
