This is what happens when Ethereumtards take over Bitcoin development. If Ethereum had a role that was to keep Bitcoin away from all the nonsense, since all the nonsense would be hosted on the so called Ethereum blockchain, now that isn't enough for them so they have to ruin Bitcoin by bringing the nonsense into the actual Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin Core should just block all this stuff, most nodes are Bitcoin Core nodes. Im not sure if Taproot was even needed. The more stuff you add the more window of opportunity for various blockchain spam use cases would show up, it's one of those things. Bitcoin already did what it had to do before any of that was implemented. As far as miners being happy because it raises fees, well, segwit lowered fees and it was rolled in.

Great point. I think the miners and people who want to change the original use for Bitcoin to be like every other cryptocurrency are short sighted. Bitcoin will and is currently losing marketshare to Ethereum as institutions are withdrawing their money from the network, due to this change. If people no longer use Bitcoin, the value of that monkey pic in the blockchain will also goes to zero.

Pro-BRC-20 bug people can argue all they want in favor of this change, but it will not change the fact that BTC is losing marketshare. You can see this decline in how much it has declined in the last week vs Ethereum. Altcoins nearly always decline faster than Bitcoin as people move their funds to Bitcoin, as a safe haven - no longer. I've pulled nearly all of my investment out of Bitcoin until this bug gets fixed.

No one is arguing that the primary use case for Bitcoin was a method of peer-to-peer exchange for the last 14 years. If you alter the original coin to devalue that primary use case, it becomes generic and it will fade away like thousands of cryptos that came after it. Changes to support its primary use case should always be encouraged. That's why Segwit was eventually adopted, because although it may have temporarily reduced miner's fees, it improved the adoption, primary use case and value of Bitcoin.

There is obviously a major schism in the community, which I have not seen since Bitcoin Cash. I see this eventually resulting in a soft or hard fork. If the pro-BRC-20 bug people want to create monkey pics on a forked chain, that's fine with me.

I do think the Devs read Bitcointalk and I am not going to disrupt their technical discussion to spam their space, like Ordinals persons are currently doing to the blockchain.
