a discussion about ways to protect Bitcoin
While I don't doubt your intentions are good, the way in which most people seem to be going about this, the proposed "
solution" sounds to me like a bigger threat then the underlying problem. You don't cure the disease by killing the patient.
All I see is an angry, ignorant lynch-mob with their pitchforks and torches threatening to burn down the whole village to "fix" things. If people burn this thing to the ground, there will be nothing left worth having.
I believe everyone should zoom out and get a view of the situation as if they were outside, not inside. There are some people who are becoming too emotional and they try to make it as a sort of drama/social problem, instead of what it really should be - a technical problem. Because if the knee-jerk reaction is to prevent propagation of Ordinals, then they will send those transactions directly to a miner for validation, OR, they might start looking for other ways to embed data within the part of the block that's not prunable, like Bitcoin Stamps.
