Permissionless market to make bitcoin transactions, not to enter arbitrary data on the chain.

That doesn’t make it theft or larceny. That’s absurdly melodramatic. I completely agree that it’s a extremely poor, and retarded use of the chain.

I still think my analogy “pooping in the park,” is the proper framing. It’s not going to kill #Bitcoin, it isn’t some existential threat, it’s just a shitty thing to do and it’s annoying.

I don't have much else to add, besides urging nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev to take a closer look at the impact that BRC-20 tokens are having on the UTXO set: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28217#issuecomment-1666801219

I’m aware of it. This is the major concern I bring up in the few episodes where I go into it. Thanks for the link though, I’d lost some previous discussions and will save this for later.

Happy to help 🫡

its a valid transaction and they paid the fees to make it. the only thing that fixes ordinal inscriptions is higher value transactions with higher fees. this fad will get priced out when they get bored or run out of sats.

The fee argument does not hold up. Do you run a node? Have you seen the consequence on this one?

i run a node. i'm not sure what you're saying "doesn't hold up" or what i'm supposed to be seeing in my node to prove your point. what's the consequence?

What I mean by this is that it is not because they pay fees that we should let them undermine the network.

Since the inscriptions arrived, the UTXOs set has been increasing at a very high speed, which threatens the nodes with low resources.

Ah, I see your point. That part is an issue for sure.

Well then.

Inscriptions are a #backdoor and a #frontdoor to #fuckup #Bitcoin. They're an attack on Bitcoin and the Bitcoin protocol. They have to go.

The security and the robustness of Bitcoin is based on basically everyone having the ability to run a full node.

One of the many reasons that #ethereum is fucked is because very few can afford to run a so-called #ethereum node..#Bitcoin 👑🗽

We have to call for an immediate #suspension of #inscriptions so we can reevaluate the cost benefit ratio of allowing them in the Bitcoin protocol.

If #Bitcoin core refuses to act. Then I call on those of you that can to suspend or strip inscriptions from the code. Then test and release to the community, ASAP

Until Bitcoin core can get it's #shit together..🧡👑🗽
