useful things don't require such expensive storage
nobody needs to inscribe the printable gun designs, yet nobody can stop them propagating
There are legitimate use cases for ordinals that have nothing to do with dumbass monkey JPEGs or shit token pump and dump scams.

That's because it is not yet illegal to distribute 3D printer plans for gun frames. The ATF can't tell websites to take them down or prosecute anyone for sharing them. This image that I linked on the other hand, it is a federal felony for anyone who is not a class III FFL dealer to be in possession of or use to mill out that particular object.
no amount of guns can stop useful data from being distributed
plenty of stuff they tried to ban in the soviet union and that never worked
More true now that instead of putting the info on a single centralized web server, you can store it on tens of thousands of Bitcoin nodes all around the world.
it's just a typical "oh look wat we can do with InScRiPtioNs that is gOoD" pointless thing like building a full sized house out of lego
oh the lego can be used to build a house, wooowww...
Being able to guarantee that prohibited data remains always available and impossible to censor is not useless.
Try finding the dimensions to mill out an AR-15 auto sear on Google.
downloading 500gb of blocks to get at 64kb of data doesn't make any sense when you can just as anonymously share it across the internet on bittorrent or IPFS with no way for the government to stop it
and even if they manage to get a few nodes to not propagate some set of infohashes you can just change one bit in the file and the block fails
Torrents are ephemeral. People stop seeding them. There are documents that I used to have that I can't find anymore. The bitcoin blockchain is forever.
The problem with ordinals is not that people are putting data on the blockchain in general. The problem is that Taproot made it cheaper than it ought to be. If it were appropriately cost-prohibitive, people would only inscribe very important things.
You Americans are so innocent!
Its up to three years jail here for possession of a firearm blueprint. More if they can tack on conspiracy to manufacture, or intent to distribute.
Dunno what they plan to do about all the old machinist and engineering texts with firearms examples. Probably nothing, but then selectively enforce based on politics...
yeah, that's exactly what i mean
i wrote a dmt extraction guide while living in a place where such a document was technically illegal
good luck to any government trying to enforce such rules, you really have to be stupid to get in trouble
like, has anyone noticed you almost never hear about DMCAs anymore?
Stupid. Or a political activist. Or driving a nicer car, banging a hotter girl or living in a nicer area than the cop thinks you deserve, and this is all he can pin on you.
Other than that, 100%!
