Saw too many people spreading some kind of concern or bad info of bitcoin being under attack. Well, not quite. To get that point, we should consider some things to qualify something as an attack:
- Dishonest behavior: When considering, you should have the intention of harm the network, users or both.
- Perjury: If you do something, the attacker must take actions in order to harm something on purpose.
- Impacts: The one doing things should look to have a significative impact on bitcoin or make negative changes in the protocol.
- Exploit: The attacker should consider to exploit or take advantage of some weak point in the protocol.
- Integrity: The attack must compromise the blockchain integrity, leaving the security under ashes.
So, having these points into the table, the question: are we under attack? IMO, no. I get the anti-ethos case that lots of people did it but what we're seeing here is Tx fees up and filling up blocks with data that some people are considering not worth it. I see people operating their nodes with no issue and the protocol being used as usual. So, to me, from a technical perspective, this doesn't qualify as attack.
Now, the ethos part. I think you have only one way currently to prove your disagreement: use OrdiRespector in your node to show your disagreement because I can't see other way around. This was already explained by Poelstra:
There's a reasonable argument that this sort of data is toxic to the network, since even though "the market is willing to bear" the price of scares blockspace, if people were storing NFTs and other crap on the chain, then the Bitcoin fee market would become entangled with random pump&dump markets, undermining legitimate use cases and potentially preventing new technology like LN from gaining a strong foothold. But from a technical point of view, I don't see any principled way to stop this.
The emphasis is mine. More important than everything and you should always remember: Bitcoin is for enemies also. If you can't see it, then...cry.
What am I gonna do? Keep stacking sats, my plan won't stop for anything. And what about brc20 and stuff? A cool fashion but won't last because it doesn't provide value and it's costing them a lot of money. As I posted previously, most ordinal fans are BSV-lovers who ran from their crap and came to pay fees on BTC. Why bitcoin and not BSV? Because, bitcoin will last and it's also scarce, meaning, it's best choice they can make, that's why they didn't choose other craps.
But IMO, They'll die in their own shitcoinery.
Go full bitcoin always.
