125 sats \ 20 replies \ @cryptocoin 2 Feb 2023 \ on: Someone just took up the entire blockspace of a block with a wizard NFT/Ordinal bitcoin
I'm now all for Luke Jr's soft fork that will shrink the block size to 200K (or whatever number makes sense).
Why would that help? People will still put things you dont like onchain
reply
Yes, but with current block size usage, there's not much of a fee market and thus they can do their games for a (relatively) cheap amount. Shrink the max blocksize and the fee per vByte spikes.
Someone wants to pay $2K to stuff in a jpg? Well, miners will be happy (as that is additional tx fee income), but I bet there won't be many more jpegs added due to the cost.
reply
Yeah... It's a big fuckup if Bitcoiners start larping about rock JPEGs instead of figuring out how they can transact in a sovereign way
reply
Let's be clear: those posting jpegs on the blockchain ARE NOT bitcoiners. Are just idiot shitcoiners trying to shitcoinize the bitcoin world.
A sane real bitcoiner will not do such thing.

bitcoin is permissionless
reply
People can use bitcoin for whatever they want. Some bitcoiners are putting JPEGs on the blockchain precisely because people like you are trying to tell them what not to do.
reply
That's the whole point: those people are not real bitcoiners. Are just shitcoiners pretending to be bitcoiners and trying to shitcoinize the Bitcoin world.
As I said, a real bitcoiner, would have a decent morality and not doing such useless thing.
reply
is bitcoin money for everyone, or money for people with your moral bent?
reply
gatekeepers like gatekeeping
reply
Correct. Code is law. But there is also not just the technical law, there is the common sense context behind the law or so called "spirit of the law"
This goes against Bitcoin's "spirit"
reply
And who are you to be the judge of that?
"Permissionless" and "Censorship-resistant" are exactly the properties which make Bitcoin the best money.
reply
How do rock jpegs help Bitcoin be the best money?
reply
Its' about being moral.
Or you don't know what means that word "morality"?
reply
Morality is irrelevant in a trustless system, which Bitcoin is, and, I hope, will continue to be
reply
You are wrong. Bitcoin must be used with morality behind.
Trust it doesn't mean moral. Are two different things.
A world without morality is a doomed world. Look around you. What you see? A fucked up world, because people do not have morality.
reply
If Bitcoin requires its users to be morally sound to work, it's garbage. It must work in spite of it.
reply
Bitcoin works even without humans...
But humans must be moral in order to have good life.
