Someone inscribed the files used to 3D print the ‘Yankee Boogle’ into the bitcoin blockchain. The part converts AR-15s into fully auto.

Is this bad?
..
It's bad isn't it?
Gradually smiling dog meme
Well at least now we'll find out if Bitcoin can fully resist state attacks.
👀
I love inscriptions now?
Will this ever though worth it to block and delay my TXs ?
17kb bin file. either server gone haywire or there's something not working
Which is like whatever you can do that, bloating the timechain by abusing the segwit rules though and a torrent file would have and has been working just fine.
so not a coat hanger??
I'm hoping that in a year or two we'll be like: "yall remember when they were clogging up the mempool with ordinals?! LOL, silly people..."
Call me crazy but I don’t think this is good for bitcoin. If you think I’m wrong, please tell me why.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "good..."
- Good for miners? I'd say yes.
- Good for adoption? Probably not due to increased fees potentially
- Good for bitcoin? I don't think bitcoin cares... just another set of transactions.
I'm hoping all this stuff gets priced out in the future anyway and we'll look back and laugh... but IDK
I meant generally speaking, bad. As in, the government now has a reason to *attempt* censoring, regulating, or otherwise interfering with bitcoin. (Emphasis on attempt since their efforts would likely change nothing). What I’m saying is akin to what others were saying about child porn being inscripted. “Illegal” material stored on chain gives the government more leeway for attempting harsher regulation.
Agreed; could "kick the hornet's nest" for sure... and illegal content like you mentioned isn't the hill most want to die on.
I'd rather them come for bitcoin on different grounds, but will fight for it either way.
Omg... they have much more reason already before. Everything and Anything that threatens the USD will get in the crosshair. Bitcoin is in the crosshair since 2017.
They cant do shitt about it. Prevent me from sending text messages over a public network... lets see who wins.
Yeah, anything that threatens the USD is in the crosshairs so they will use every possible reason they can find to try to shut it down. One good reason for the government to now attack bitcoin even more is free and open access to a mod that makes your AR fully automatic, which is illegal. I can literally hear Elizabeth Warren in my head saying bitcoin should be banned because it’s being used to host illegal files that pose a threat to public safety.
A ban would be best for Bitcoin, i am a Bitcoiner from heart and i not think US corporations or the Gov should be able to hold it. But Bitcoin is open and free to everyone so i even accept if they do.
Code is speech and speech is free as in bird
Freedom of speech is not unlimited. Here, the government would argue that providing access to an illegal weapon mod falls within the “imminent lawless action” test, which allows the government to restrict speech if the person speaking intends to incite a legal violation that is imminent and likely to occur. I think it would be hard to argue against the governments position on that one considering full auto weapons are illegal, and use of this file to create a full auto weapon is likely.
To be clear, I am not advocating for the government to do this. I’m just thinking through the worst case scenario.
I wish them incredible luck in finding my full node behind Tor. They’ll need it.
Reminds mepof that Satoshi quote... something with "hornets nest".
this checks out
I'll allow it.
I was wondering when STLs we’re gonna be put in there
Freedom money! 🤙
Finally, something that's actually worthy of being written to the blockchain. Information that's likely to be censored being made freely available > monkey.jpg selling for 9 BTC
I can already hear the clicks of Elizabeth Warren's aids typing up her talking points..."be afraid, America."
Print guns, not money.

Free speech!
Fantastic! Now this is an inscription I’m happy to store on my full node.
AMAZING.
"first it was farts...now it's full auto AR15 parts"
That's the first line in my upcoming rap about ordinals.
Guess their not all bad.
I can see governments going after inscription holder. They can force them to burn it and if it breaks the law prosecute. Be carefull please. Probally best to send to Satoshi wallet
Info about what is this: https://3dgunbuilder.com/accessories/yankee-boogle-swift-link/
this type of inscription is very interesting, has potential for immediate irl power/consequences
