i don't have an issue with how people are using bitcoin. ive specifically said numerous times "what kind of asshole would i be if i told someone how to use bitcoin". if you want to scam yourself and do dumb things, that's on you, not me.
what is on me is trying to understand what Ben's thoughts were on the matter, because i respect him and am very curious about the decision.
im trying to learn here. im never, ever going to use an ordinal or inscription or rune or whatever the next scam is, but i want to learn about them and the use cases for OP_CAT, hence the reason for me asking.
the one thing that know that stands out is how overly hard people are pushing for this and laughing the entire time while doing it. that isn't a good look and most likely will never make me support it, unless i hear from people i respect that change my mind.
the use cases you mentioned about spending conditions for mints or ARK or LSP improvements are worth learning more about.
plus, im not sure how more ordinals or inscriptions or runes helps the people in developing nations. if they are a byproduct of people in developing nations having easier chances at using bitcoin, then it may end up being a net positive. we shall see.
