Do you understand this meme?
I think so.
I'm assuming the bad-actor is willing to pay to attack the usability of the network. And this could be cheaper than an attempted 51% attack (if I understand correctly).

For more they want to "attack" (if you like to say it like that, but is not a real attack) they must pay more, until will be drained of money.
But the fun fact is that the network could adjust anytime, so for more they push, harder will be, and more expensive.
All those ordinal txs are actually valid bitcoin txs, that pay their fees, nothing wrong with that. Is wrong what they are doing with that crap. But from the Bitcoin stand point are valid txs and can't be named a DDoS attack or something like that.

Perhaps an "attack" with the lesser goal of (even just temporarily) making non-bitcoiners less confident in usability.
I guess a possible way for bad actors to try and slow adoption?
Appreciate the reply, just trying to think it through

Let them try... Bitcoin is prepared for all kind of "attacks".
Do you really think Bitcoin wasn't attacked until now? hahahaha Bitcoin is attacked every fucking day, from its inception.
And is still stand up and getting stronger with every attack more.
