I really hope that the guys who are fighting against the Ordinals will succeed. Because this is a real problem!

it's only a problem to you if you're being affected by it. but it's not necessarily a problem for everyone. make the distinction. embrace it.

As you correctly wrote - many managers pay an additional commission to send out weekly rewards, some campaigns are closed - and all this is because of the stupid Ordinals.

that's all quite irrelevant in the grand scheme of the entire bitcoin ecosystem though. as you very well know...

Yes absolutely, but censorship is not the solution. If the bitcoin network cannot handle a small handful of users sending ordinals, how is it ever supposed to scale to a global currency?

it won't be able to. so i guess in that sense, ordinals is a good little test case for if bitcoin got really popular and alot of people started using it. what have we learned? people will complain! Shocked

What will we do when fees are 1,000 sats/vbyte because 100 million people are using bitcoin? Censor entire countries? Or maybe censor everyone involved with political causes we don't like?

probably there would be people wanting those things to happen. as for me, if the fees just got to be too much well, i'll have to use some other way to "send money". that's all. i have a utilitarian view of bitcoin in the sense that what can it help me do, not what can it help me make. can it help me send money fast and cheap? if so then i might like it...
