subversive elements to the Bitcoin ethos
What is the Bitcoin ethos? Who decides what is the bitcoin ethos? If there are bitcoiners interested in Bitcoin NFTs, then why wouldn't Bitcoin Magazine talk about it or participate?
You do, I do, we all do.
Welcome to the process.
Do you think it's ok to promote scams, attacks and grifting within Bitcoin?
reply
Nope. scams are bad, attacking the network is bad.
If two parties want to voluntarily trade for a thing that they want but I think is dumb, that's their business.
reply
So then we agree.
But going back to your original post on "who decides"
who decides what is and isn't an attack on the network?
My same answer applies. You do. I do. We all do.
Based on our own standards.
I'm acting accordingly and in my own best interests.
So are you, but likely because of this shitcoins incentives and your early acquisition of it. Which I believe, unfortunately, blinds you to the multiple negative implications of this disease.
reply
So any use of bitcoin that you dont like is a scam or an attack? That's a strange bar.
I think scams are fraudulent or dishonest schemes.
Just because you don't like something doesn't make it fraudulent. Moralizing blockspace is dumb. If bitcoin is money for everyone, people are going to use it for things that you don't like.
likely because of this shitcoins incentives and your early acquisition of it
Yes, I have acquired Bitcoin and I am incentivized to try to help Bitcoin succeed as Internet Money.

Did you not create ordinal NFT #1 ?
Do you not mention this fact on many of the twitter spaces you attend as a way to market the eventual sale of this "receipt" ?
Are you not incentivized to shill for this shitcoin grift as a result because of the implied value you can eventually extract from this activity?
Do you not think you might just be compromised a little as a result?
In terms of your objective judgment on this development being an attack, are you not incentivized to deny any such claims? And Perhaps misconstrue, con-flate, and Lie in defense of your "asset".

Before anyone cared about ordinals or inscriptions, I inscribed a DickButt because it was funny. I still think it is funny. I am not planning on selling the inscription and I am not trying to protect the market value of a dickbutt nft. I spend the bulk of my energy on things that I think are good for bitcoin, and some amount of my time on things that are fun.
reply
you're not currently planning on it, but you want the option to eventually.
You can always prove me wrong though, send your dickbutt sats to the genesis block burn address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
reply
Ill do whatever i want with my sats. You do whatever you want with your sats.
The point remains: not everything that you dont like is an attack. Moralizing blockspace is dumb at best and authoritarian at worst.
