My post history reveals I've never been a fan of ordinals and never expressed interest in purchasing them myself.
yeah i don't know where franky gets some of his wild ideas.
However, I do know that in the future the collector's market will desire the earlier inscriptions, assuming there isn't some economic catastrophe between now and then.
well in the past, people were trying to sell low inscription numbers on ordswap for insane prices just because.just because they had a low number so the future may have already occurred to some extent.

It's a perfectly valid stance to say that I personally think Ordinals in their present form are worthless junk. But at the same time, I don't believe it's in any way prudent or sensible to attempt to centrally plan them out of existence using brute force (and seemingly neither do devs).
you're a really reasonable person DooMAD. franky is the one that is unreasonable in his demands and i guess expectations.
Not only would it be stupid and reckless to try, it's also utterly futile. In no way am I "for" Ordinals, but I'm not "against" them enough to make a rash emotional response (as you are) like trying to ban them, which would likely threaten Bitcoin's very fundamentals.
you don't know how true that statement could be. imagine someone like franky brute forces ordinals out of existence and then all the people that used ordinals switch over to something like Bitcoin Stamps. How many million ordinals do we now have? How many Bitcoin Stamps are there? Let's keep it that way.

Because when things start getting stored into the UTXO set itself, you're not pruning that. But I guess that's what franky wants is to force people into storing things into the UTXO set. Because if he does that then he wins the small battle. And of course loses the war.
The reason people don't use something like Stamps is because ordinals is probably alot cheaper and they don't want to have to pay more. And that's really better for bitcoin anyway for them to not be using Stamps since it bloats up the UTXO set I'm imagining. But if Franky gets his way then people would be forced to do that maybe. Are you listening Franky?

The far more reasonable and elegant approach is to build more efficient ways to perform the same function. This way the cost will be lower and incentivise a less inconsiderate usage of resources. The work is well underway, you can't stop it and it's going to happen. But you'll cry more because it involves layer 2.
exactly. give people a choice. if it's cheaper and offers similiar functionality that's about all you can do is lead a horse to water. but franky wants to force the horse not to drink at all...
