Why do people keep saying this is worse? At least they are showing their true colors; they don't have to pretend anymore that ordinals are "good for bitcoin" or "artful" or whatever BS. Of course, the attackers would be better off keeping their bitcoin instead of wasting it like this, but apparently they have decided to die killing.
We are in the "then they attack you" phase. This is just the beginning. Expect worse attacks coming.
