Wrt ordinals I think the free market is handling this fine. I looked on degen Twitter and saw people talking about them being dead already. As predicted they move onto the next thing fast.

We can't stay true to the mission of being censorship resistant if we censor.

It's not censorship. That's a myth pushed by people who want to corrupt and extinguish Bitcoin.

You can't censor something that doesn't belong there in the first place.

It's an attack on Bitcoin. A bug, a back door to spam.

It's a way of artificially inflating fees. It's a back door way of creating Bitcoin inflation, and debasing bitcoins monetary policy.

In recreates the Fiat cantilian effect where the people closest to the money printer get the most money by taking it from you in artificially inflated fees and debasement.

It's also a form of criminal fraud and larceny. Fiducial failure. But it's not censorship..🧡

Controlling what transactions are allowed in blocks, regardless of intent, sets a terrible precedent for the future.

What if a nation state begins pressuring the Bitcoin Core devs to censor other transactions they dislike? They can pretty much force that OFAC sanctions be added. Then we are no better than Ethereum.

Bitcoin must remain neutral to remain censorship resistant for its original purpose, else you head down a very slippery slope.

Agreed 100%. We all know what controll means for money. Btc runs and holds the line just fine. Let it work.

Exactly. The second we start adding any type of central control regarding what can be put into blocks we are no better than a CBDC.

Now if individual miners don't want to mine blocks full of ordinals that's their right as it's the free market in action.

But we cannot have Bitcoin as a protocol breaking the core of its censorship resistance over jpeg drama.

This is the PRINCIPLE. It self regulates itself just fine.

The slippery slope is encouraging fraud and larceny. That dog won't hunt..🧡🙂
