You're mixing unsound advice with sound money. I'm not trying to be combative either with you. I'm just stating what seems to me as the obvious.

The only benefit to Ordinals is that Shitcoiners are Shitcoining less on other chains and bringing their funds to Bitcoin. It's my hope that after people get rekt and lose everything, that they see the error of their ways and stop. Sometimes you have to touch the stove, ya know?

That said, spam will always exist because there's always a new fool to con out of their money. I don't see why Bitcoin wouldn't be different here.

You're describing a subset of people. There are many very smart, bitcoin aligned communities that have been born out of ordinals.

Of course, there are a lot of bad actors too but that exists - as you alluded - on all chains.

I guess what I'm saying is that not all communities, individuals or organisations that utilise bitcoin in non-monetary ways are a net negative.

We evidently disagree on some stuff here but we are both here engaging in respectful debate and contributing to the network in our own ways. You're the ecowarrior and I'm the capitalist buying carbon credits - bad analogy perhaps 😆

It’s not about seeing what your group does as harmful, rather recognizing that investigating ways Bitcoin could be used beyond money – though interesting – shouldn't risk hindering its primary purpose. That core purpose, providing a reliable financial tool, tackles a serious worldwide problem better than anything else available.

Someone envisions a stunning gallery for the building’s entrance; meanwhile, others concentrate on crafting an unshakeable base - a foundation meant to redefine the city. Each pursuit holds merit, yet without that solid groundwork, everything else risks crumbling.

Thanks for the response and your thoughtful take.

Agreed on the point about not hindering the primary objective. That's in nobody's interest. 🤝

nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5 is an Ordinals fan, and one of my favorite Nostr developers, though sadly he's not around building as much as he used to be. He's incredibly intelligent and a super nice person. We just disagree on this topic, and that's okay.

Exactly. Gave him a follow too 🤝
