This is why I hate all those BRC20 stuff, they are ruining bitcoin more than what it already is having trouble with.[/url]
BRC20 is almost dead, as you can see on the CryptoKoryo Dune.com page (in the last days BRC-20 accounted for about 0,5% of all transactions). And that's a good thing, because BRC20 is the most inefficient thing that was created ever on the Bitcoin blockchain. I suspect it was created by a kid playing around with Ordinals.

Yesterday there seems to have been an increased Runes activity for some hours, at least when I checked this page earlier today 37% of the fees had been paid to Runes. But then I updated the graph and when we look at the whole day, only 7% of the fees were paid by Runes and they made up 8,8% of the transactions.

So your idea to "patch" Runes and Ordinals away (not new at all, of course) would actually not make a big difference anymore. In 2023 this was different, but the fad has ended.

Here I agree, but the solution for me are second layers. There are exciting developments these years, even if you don't like Lightning: Ark, BitVM as a new paradigm for bridges and sidechains, other sidechains like Nomic, better bridges to other chains like tBTC which could work also as sidechains (see also this thread) ...
