Made a show with Rob Hamilton discussing ordinals… I took the position that we are here to make the best money and ordinals makes Bitcoin worse money.

The guy sits down with playing cards and literally puts on his bullshit lenses like a guy telling you to watch carefully and play the shell game.
At least he admits it's a shared delusion and not connected to bitcoin whatsoever. But all you're left with is spam on the actual chain.
Yeah same. I was planning on taking a picture enjoying the block and going to bed once the next one was found. I have a feeling block clock owners are most likely to have been staying up for the sevens lol
Ordering a coffee since they'll mispronounce my name otherwise
Nice I'll have to check it out. Haven't used Fold either so I don't know how they compare
🤔 So looks like this is one of those sats back for fiat spent on gift cards things? Never tried it. Can you get generic prepaid Visa cards? Or just store specific?
I mined mine for like 12 minutes and got three npubs. Backups 😋

Yeah I don't like the potential influence it could have on the culture, not for its own sake but for the fact that distracting from the single purpose monetary network could change the direction things go (or at least delay and distract). Fork wars, shitcoiner influence and incentives trying to work their way in etc.
💯 ubercucked
The rapid rise of inscriptions in the chain as sparked a lot of controversy as many deem this type of use of block space as a waste of valuable resources that is unnecessarily increasing the size of the chain.
While I may not find the data that is being inscribed in the chain (mainly NFTs) particularly interesting and tend to think of it as pretty cheesy and/or not data that needs to be stored on the bitcoin ledger, it does not matter.
The decision to activate SegWit, which increased the block size limit to 4MB, coupled with the decision to activate Taproot, which made it cheaper to create certain transactions, made all of this possible. And because of this we now live in a world where people are taking advantage of what is possible with bitcoin. Like it or not, you have to live with it unless future consensus dictates a change that makes these things not possible anymore.

Agree with that characterization. I don't like it but they are doing what has been made possible. Have to be very careful with change.
So true. It's all about perfecting the craft.

Bullish on other stuff.
Nooo lol slippery slope. Turns into paying her to agree to a date, which would be kinda disgusting. Not too mention payment for other things. Peer to peer payments in general are cool of course. But in the context of a dating app I would explicitly exclude that from the design. Just completely backwards incentives imo. It's already bad enough with some using dating apps purely too boost external social media accounts.
Anyway not that this can be prevented. People will build all sorts of cool and questionable shit. But to me the answer ought to be focus.
