21 sats \ 7 replies \ @Bitcoinisawesome 19 Nov 2023 \ parent \ on: deleted by author bitcoin
Hi Peter, ignorant pleb here.
Does activity like this sway your tail emission opinion at all? Surely as bitcoin proliferates we will be consistently surprised by what people are willing to fill up block space with as is evident here.
No it doesn't. I don't think activity like this is sustainable. BRC-20 is basically only used for scams, and the supply of suckers isn't infinite; notice how hype around inscriptions has died down. Hysteria around it "breaking Bitcoin" seems to have been part of the marketing too, which is a gimmick. This also may be an intentional attack on Bitcoin, with the BRC-20/inscriptions/etc part being just cover.

How do we know its not the same person? (washtrading?) Back in the days tons of shitcoiners were doing that with NTFs to artificially inflate the prices.

This.
Ultimately we don't know. A lot of this BRC-20 activity could be fake. Possibly almost all of it.

could be, but that doesn't mean other idiots will not buy it from him... for even more BTC

It's a win for me either way.
- Idiots sell their bitcoin for worthless BRC-20 shitcoins.
- Those who mint these shitcoins are paying exorbitant premium fees.
- Miners are content with the increased fees.
- When a sat-stacking turbo mode toxic maxi acquires these sats, they are essentially removed from circulation, resulting in reduced liquidity.
- Once overall liquidity gets low enough, the fun begins.

Also: we learn how to deal with high fees, as well as unpredictable fees.
