Welp, here we go...
Over half of bitcoin transactions are Ordinals:
https://geniidata.com/user/orddata/ordinals-transaction-shareThis takes into account data from Yesterday. And to those saying that this will pass... Think again! Okcoin exchange literally integrated an embeded dashboard that users can utilize to create and mint ordinals as well as sell them all within their platform. They literally made ordinal inscriptions easier than they make it to withdraw BTC off their platform... Exchanges and "NFT Artists" don't care for the well being of the ecosystem.
It is, isn't it? That's because they wanted to use the network in the way that we don't approve of, dick picks and fart sounds. You can complain, but they did pay for the fees/willing to pay high fees and it is a permissionless system. From their viewpoint, they also have the right to use Bitcoin, no?
Us the community should consider that if some malignant miners want to profit off of an attack on the protocol perhaps we should cut them off because not only is this not the first time this happens, but this time also it seems bound to continue getting worse.
The miners are incentivized to always find the highest profit opportunities, whether there's an attack or not. Why "cut them off" for merely doing their jobs? That would be unfair, no?
