I'm softening up a bit about Ordinals and Inscriptions. I think it's good that we're beating Ethereum and the rest of the shitcoins at their own game.

Now these people are flocking en masse to Twitter Spaces about Ordinals and are super-excited. But they have to use Bitcoin lol.

But I still think that the witness discount is atrocious and abusive and I've a firm understanding about how NFTs are being pumped up artificially by a small group of elites (in order words, don't buy expensive NFTs!).

Without the witness discount, you would have UTXO bloat.

That can be mitigated by Cross-Input Signature Aggregation.

For taproot only?

Yeah it would require new output type segwitv2 and using Taproot/Schnorr.

So if we decrease or disable the discount, it wouldn't have such advantage.

But real financial transactions would have a benefit as you can easily consume outputs.
