I'm here for the next fork war 🫡
Discussion
im down to fork to fix the taproot and the segwit vulnerabilities that allows inscriptions to exploit witness data.
That's totally something a leftist would say 😂
we already know you're a big blocker. this was discovered the other night in Nests. of course you don't like forks. the last time bitcoin forked, you lost.
Let's keep that on the DL
I need to recover my losses by speculating correctly on the next fork 😂

fine with me brother. the past is the past.
We both hate the ordinals. I disagree that the "we have to do something about the damage we've sustained now" mentality is the right approach. Maybe if it broke layer 2, I'd see it as more urgent. But agitation for a fork has a high risk of yet further unanticipaydd externalities, and (if you were around for the blocksize war) you should know that it carries an even greater risk of damaging the human consensus of what bitcoin is.
I'm mostly just annoyed to have to watch the ordinals deviants speed run all the bad shitcoin ideas on bitcoin as a cynical last-ditch money grab for scammers who can see the "crypto" party is running out of gas.
After all that is over and done, maybe some actual use case will stick around, but I doubt it. And even after that, I think we should try everything we can at the node-and-social layer before we start crusading for code changes. Bitcoin is a lot bigger and a lot more technically ignorant than it was during the blocksize war, and you may not like what sort of consensus arises out of that swamp.
i don't like ordinals either. it's sad to see the shitcoin narratives playing out on bitcoin. however, i realized back in February that i don't have to like it. what kind of asshole would i be if i told someone how to use bitcoin? i also have hope that given enough time, the narratives play themselves out as they run out of money or the shitcoining gets too expensive.
