I can't possibly understand how otherwise smart people can seriously believe that they can censor transactions they don't like (BRC-20/Inscriptions).

Wanna play cat & mouse? It takes 20 mins to circumvent any "fix". Should we now all soft fork whenever you propose a new "fix"?

It's not even a moral question at this point. It's most likely anger that makes people come up with stupid or even dangerous ideas like this.

Stop pretending you can do anything about it. Proposing forks based on your feelings is dangerous because it increases centralization.

Instead of asking why are there inscriptions, we should be asking why is this an issue for the network?

We'd have similar congestion with a billion new users.

Perhaps the angst right now in the community is more a function of Bitcoin's current limitations in terms of scalability.

Bitcoin isn't inevitable. It still requires a lot of hard work if it is going to scale for all of humanity, especially in a self sovereign way.

Instead of considering censorship we should be talking about improving scalability.

Lower your time preference and see the forest through the trees.

LN network isn't a great solution ?

How economical in the past week was it to open a lightning channel?

Even if you don't mind the costs, what if you only had a small UTXO?

This is absolutely the right attitude. Do not become the evil we sought to escape in the first place.

That said, scaling solutions exist. Lightning and layer 2 have come a very long way. Just requires further adoption.

We are advancing along the curve. With cashu and fedimint already starting to tackle the next set of problems to come

Yes! Like i have been thinking its good that ordinals/shitcoin guys are doing what they are. If its possible those things they should do it so network can figure its way to handle them or what ever without breaking the rules and starting censoring.

Like i/you might be unwanted person, doing stuff that others dont care/like, but others have to find way to survive from that. Otherwise how would bitcoin be so good its currently.

And Monkey pics could burn in hell, but fix must be other than changing the rules. Everything else go for me... Becouse then its inside the rules.
