There are three kinds of people against Ordinals:
- Innocent parrots who will just repeat whatever their chosen master says
- Heartless totalitarians who want to retroactively change how bitcoin works
- Spooks paid to destroy the bitcoin mining industry
Miners needing ordinals to survive must be the saddest excuse ever for ordinals lol.
Read the title of the whitepaper. Read the many early discussions on storing arbitrary data onchain. Then you'll understand this is not the purpose of Bitcoin.

Tell that to Satoshi who embedded the times in the genesis block. He did it all wrong.

Lol another lame argument. The exceptional genesis block is now an excuse to post thousands of dickbutt jpegs onchain?
Satoshi and many early devs agreed the chain is not there to store arbitrary data. This is what matters, not the genesis block (exception that confirms the rule).
You guys are grasping at straws.

Hahahaha, a council of elders should decide what bitcoin does, not the consensus mechanism. You are as stupid as the ethereum people who rewrote the rules of their blockchain when their dao failed.

What about the whitepaper, my friend?
Wow, you managed to contradict yourself in one sentence. If you represent the average ordinal enjooyer, yikes.
What do you think consensus means? It's people agreeing on what should/should not be done.
Read up on some Jameson Lopp to better understand Bitcoin:
"I pose to you that bitcoin’s strength comes not from being the embodiment of some dogmatic beliefs of immutability, decentralization or other buzzwords, but from collaboration. The process of taking collaboration and using it to determine human consensus can be noisy and messy, but it’s the governance model within which we must work.
As I see it, this system of governance, rooted in voluntaryism, is the only aspect of bitcoin that is ‘set in stone’."
So far most agree storing arbitrary data onchain is not the goal of Bitcoin. There is broad consensus about that. If and how we should solve it is still up for debate.
Ehhh... no.

Thank you for your intelligent rebuttal.
