There was consensus to change it many times, don't you know? Bitcoin has had many changes in its first decade, but you seem to disregard that entirely. If there is a consensus, changes can be made again. There "was" consensus for A, there can be consensus for B. That's how Bitcoin development works my friend.
I'm not saying I advocate for change, I'm saying Bitcoin was not designed for arbitrary data storage. PoW and fees can hopefully discourage such spam (for which they were designed).
Do a poll anywhere, ask Bitcoin devs and OGs or even miners, and you'll see that the majority thinks Bitcoin was not designed to store arbitrary data but as a money system.
You can know that it's not designed for that purpose if you consider how many hoops orditards have to jump through to "own" an inscription. They don't even own them. It's embedded in a tx and not even linked to a UTXO. But you probably don't know that.
It's clear from this discussion that you don't understand much about Bitcoin and are just trolling.
Wow, you're so stupid, it's unbelievable...
We know there was consensus in the past BECAUSE THAT CONSENSUS IS PART OF THE BLOCKCHAIN AND VALIDATION RULES.
Now you grand stand here and pretend to know what the future consensus will be. Fuck off. I'm against ordinals, but I am even more against consensus hating ideologues like you.

You are not understanding anything I'm saying. I am FOR consensus. You just don't realize what consensus means.

Bla bla bla. You are for YOUR consensus, not the existing one.

Jesus. There is no mine or your consensus. Consensus means general agreement.
Consensus is also not static, it's dynamic! Consensus on certain things can change at any moment.

Glad to hear you're making progress. Consensus can change, nobody is denying that. You're the one claiming to know the future consensus and consensus rules. That's your fucking consensus fantasy.
reply
Where do you get that I know the future consensus and rules? What the heck are you even talking about? Maybe you need to step back and breathe, buddy. I think you still don't understand the concept of consensus.
