Replying to Avatar Crizzo

Mechanic says that inscriptions are an unintended consequence or a bug of Taproot. Why are we capitulating to this bug and not trying to fix it? Is Bitcoin permanently and fundamentally alerted to no longer be narrowly focused monetary network, and now it's also cloud storage for anyone willing to fork over the sats for blockspace? I get that it also enables a lot of functionality and novel scaling solutions, but it seems extremely risky to me. At least inscriptions are more onerous for the data hoarders to inscribe and reconstruct in order to access their data. If we let them put data on the Blockchain in its raw form that could be inviting even more problems than it solves.

Also I understand they can do it anyway by going OOB directly to miners. Doesn't mean we should make it easier.

That's where we disagree. We should make the benign way of writing data easier so they stop using the malign one.
