Could we make a hard fork to disable new inscription to reduce the network pressure. Then both inscriptoin supporter and objector can work on each chain. That may seeperate bitcoin value to two chain, and probably, one chain can gain more value,we can call the coin on this chain BTC, the other chain must called another name. Even though, the inscriptions inscribed before fork seem valid after fork.

A BTC developer under the name of Luke Dashjr already proposed a "fix" for the Ordinals inscription. But it hasn't gained traction yet. You can still run Bitcoin Knots (which is a node software under development by Luke Dashjr) if you want to filter Ordinals inscriptions. Many in the community would consider this as "censorship", so I wouldn't count on a hard fork soon. We should expect strong rejection from miners. Especially when large fees are mostly beneficial to them.

BTC users will be forced to wait or switch to the flawed Lightning Network for "fast and cheap" transfers. Who knows what will happen with BTC in the future?  Undecided
