 No one is telling you how to use Bitcoin.

Don't like Ordinals? Don't buy them. Think Inscriptions are dumb? Don't mine them. 

Think Ordinals are awesome? Buy them. Think Inscriptions are worth the work? Mine them.

You have these choices. The free market that is Bitcoin gives you these choices.

 Right ?

Seems that a lot of people working with #Bitcoin seem to forget that basic rule

Fucking permissionless

 I hope if possible, core devs will eventually remove possibility or amend incentives against inscriptions. 
Saying dont mine them if you dont like them is like saying these days dont buy anything made in communist countries if you do not like communism.
It is not the mining I don't like, I don't like that others mining it raises fees for my transactions.
I am no fan of democracy. I choose my ways based on universal truths, and if something stands in my way - I will remove it if I have the power needed, no matter who or how many want what.
I get it that ordinals attract some losers to bitcoin that would not be attracted otherwise. I will believe this is necessary as some sort of a tactical move. But I hope they will not get to profit from this eventually. I hate when accidental fly-bys get to profit from virtuous things they do not even understand, or often even fight for the opposite evil stuff.
