I'm pretty sure whatever is being frown upon has already been inscripted into bitcoin. If govt want to bend over backwards to ban bitcoin they can use any reasons but inscriptions will not be the real reasons.

While I think Ordinals and inscriptions are retarded, they are quite irrelevant as a real threat. Most likely they will slowly fade away. Those cheapskate inscriptors are so cheap, they are paying only 1sat/vb to line up in the mempool.

It's not about "maybe its there and its irrelevant , let's forget about, small matter for now". It can become a very large and messy matter in no time. and permanent damage.

Because it is similar to saying -

" yes i'm mining bitcoin - that block with children getting raped" or

"yes, i am using bitcoins as money - that same bitcoin which that has permanent pictures and videos of thousands of child porns - kids that will be forever haunted"

Of course gov'ts will find a million reasons not to want bitcoin. Why hand them a free pass =)

It's like one cannot stop the sale of camera because someone can use it to take child porn. A permissionless network also meant it cannot be stopped. Since Satoshi time, text and pic can be inscripted into the blockchain.

They only make it easier to do now. Further, bad inscriptions are already there now. For excuse purposes, they only need one pic to call it illegal. There are probably some insults to some kings and prophets too. The boat has sailed.

Inscriptions while retarded are perfectly valid transactions. The bitcoin blockchain makes no value judgement on transactions.
