 The shitcoin spree on Bitcoin will produce so much MEV at the halving that it will be economical to reorg multiple blocks. 

I'm afraid.

 good. better to cross this bridge sooner than later. 
 How much MEV, how many blocks? Last I checked ordinals didn't seem to have that much juice. 
 Never afraid!! ⚡ 
 I'm looking forward. Lightning channels not* affected.

I plan to make an AssumeUTXO snapshot at whichever block eventually wins (and maybe one for the losing block to see if that's handled correctly).

* = unless there's some really poor reorg handling bug 
 Unless you get force closed due to fees? 
 Reorgs with depth > 1 are very rare (hard to find data). JPT Lovejoy, 2020 found in a 10 month time frame no reorg deeper than 1 (pic).

No idea how much "ultra rare sats" and first-come-first-serve runes are worth – divide your estimate by the block reward and you'll be scared.

 I'm not the only one who noticed that the monkey humpers will all be lined up desperate to get their dickbutt into halving block.

I don't support ocean censoring, but I will laugh my ass off if they manage to mine an economic only halving block.

 What is the problem with a bigger reorg? If you wait for enough confirmation you are probabilistic safe in bitcoin.
