 What is this argument that they're securing the chain? I've been just out of it for a while. Hash power secures the chain...

 Indeed. Hash power secures the chain 
Heard the ordinals people saying this quite a few times. Apparently we won’t survive without the security budget they are providing 🤣🤣 Makes me laugh every time

 That's a terrible argument compared to needing to keep the blockchain a manageable size for people to run their own nodes without data centers.

 What are you talking about? Do you know how little I just paid for a 4TB SSD?

 Yea, there isn't a good argument available. Good that you were out of it. You aren't missing anything. Its just a bunch of shitcoiner drama and big blocker propaganda.

 Nope, it was Lopp and the other maxis who were saying it's the biggest threat to bitcoin.

Now maxis are salty at ordinals because they can't buy a coffee with bitcoin and orange pill their Uber driver. 

Can't please em either way.

Meanwhile bitcoin continues to care little what's actually been transacted as long as it doesn't break consensus. 

But chief maxi pad Luke reckons he'll just censor the spam. What a sorry state of affairs. 

Thank fuck for Monero.
