for the people worrying about ordinal and other spam on the bitcoin blockchain.

the solution is to return the block size limit to prior to the 2017 segwit.

let me explain:

in anonymous systems, the only mitigation for spam is economic, the requirement of paying for transmission - or recording - of messages.

monero bros try to tell you that bitcoin isn't anonymous but actually it is, that's why they had to invent KYC to attack it.

only big players like NSA with their taps in many major data centres even can come close to unmasking the identity of spenders of UTXOs.

it is auditable, however, which Monero is not, and guaranteeing an inflexible supply schedule is a key element of Bitcoin's objectives.

in actual fact, shrinking the maximum size of a block back down to the original 1Mb would raise the price of spam by at least 16 (4 squared) and probably would eliminate more than 3/4 of it, which would be a net gain for transactional/anchor use.

some of those who are promoting ordinals are big blockers who are trying to make a case that increasing block size will lower the bottom end of transaction prices for simple transfers. However, what they are not mentioning is that this reduction of per byte cost also means the spammers will just fill the channel even more.

jevon's paradox, which states that, as observed in economies, when the efficiency of use of a resource increases, that the use of the resource overall has a net increase, applies to this.

if we want to stop the spam, the best way is to reduce block size again back to Satoshi's original specification.
