Ordinals are not shitcoins just because you don't like them...
Last I checked they're inscribed on Bitcoins chain...
You do t have to like them but I just don't see the issue. No one's making you buy them. They're just collectables like beanie babies. Mostly worthless but value is subjective and if someone wants to spend their wealth on something you think is worthless, that doesn't affect you. It's their money.
No they are definitely a shitcoin. Just because they pass as a valid txn doesn’t we all have to embrace them. Casey found a way to exploit an aspect of the protocol for his own personal pet project and it’s ultimately hurting bitcoin by consuming a tremendous amount block space for non-bitcoin txns. Blockspace that people of the world need for far more important reasons than dickpick jpegs. Let’s not forget what satoshi was fighting for. Ordinals are bad for bitcoin. 
Just because it can be used for more than a peer to peer cash system does not diminish it's use as such. You are on a crusade against something that hardly effects Bitcoin at all. All I see is a more robust fee market. People spending money in any way they feel they want to. That's freedom to transact. Just because you don't like the transactions doesn't make them invalid. It's not for you to decide.
I never said you had to embrace them. Just ignore them. I fail to see how it affects you or Bitcoin at all.
They ARE Bitcoin transactions. Sorry you don't like them but wanting to censor what other people can spend their Bitcoin on makes you the one in the wrong here.
I don’t want to argue about whether or not they meet your definition of shitcoin.
I do want to argue that they will be pumped and dumped and washtraded and used to scam the unsophisticated and those new to this space, and in the end are not a net positive for the ecosystem.
You are right. They will be pumped and dumped. Scammers gunna scam. I will not argue with that. But they are a net neutral, not negative or positive. In the same way people can use Bitcoin to buy illicit drugs or for nefarious activities. Does that make drug transactions bad for Bitcoin? Or are people just spending their own money how they see fit?
