Thinking out loud:

If ordinals are in the process of increasing the mean block fee rewards through demand, perhaps sooner than it was expected, could this create a dependency of current miners on this revenue? Would this then become attack vector, to crash the ordinals market and push miners dependent on these fees out of business?

Indeed, mining in general operates on a small margin so could artificial pumps in ordinals send market signals to miners that there are a lot more fees available out there than perhaps is realistic for the network? Or is this just a case of supply and demand, where ordinals is currently creating block space demand?

Any thoughts?
