I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m for inscriptions, but I’m for people doing whatever they want on #bitcoin
And it seems like I’m in rare company.

If someone built an amazing public space to serve a particular purpose & others came in & took shits on the sidewalks & graffitied everything would you say you were all for people doing that?
I don't think it's wrong for the people who can be honest about the nature of the scams being perpetrated to work toward cleaning those things up in a voluntary way.
Is the graffiti written in chalk?
Eventually, the inscribers run out of sats and the mempool clears anyway.
Bitcoin still works and if bitcoin is money, we don’t get to say what people use that money for. We either believe in freedom or we don’t.
Why is it "freedom" for people to bloat Bitcoin with literal scams by promoting the idea that image infomation can be traded or owned when it can't, but it's not freedom for some people to try & exclude the image information to prevent people from being scammed in the first place?
The two are not mutually exclusive. Do what you want with your node.
Inscriptions aren’t anything new and they’re not breaking bitcoin or its decentralization. People are just butthurt about fees.
Bitcoin is a court system for determining & transferring property rights, we have people using the courts to throw parties crowding out actual property transfers. It doesn't matter if they are paying more, or how much they want to do it, that's not what the court system was designed for & it is completely reasonable to want to enforce proper boundaries around the system.
The spammer paying a ginormous fee to the miners is a property transfer at the market rate.
We don’t get to decide what the market rate is.
