1/ Debunking the Myth: Did Ordinals & BRC20 Break Bitcoin? πŸš€πŸ’‘ Let's dive into the facts and debunk some common misconceptions surrounding the impact of these protocols on the #Bitcoin network. πŸ§πŸ”
2/ Chess Game Analogy: 🎲 Just like in a game of chess, players have different strategies & motives. Some spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt 😨, while others promote their own solutions. It's crucial to critically analyze the claims made by both sides. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ #crypto
3/ State-Level-Attack: 🌐 We've seen that a state-level attacker might need about $2 billion to come close to stifling the Bitcoin network. The network can adapt & grow, but this is definitely a concern. 😬 #BitcoinSecurity
4/ Lightning Network & Channels: ⚑️ The Lightning Network and payment channels have proven less effective for retail, trapping people's funds. The statement β€œBitcoin is 24/7” doesn't hold true with Lightning. πŸ˜• #LightningNetwork
5/ High Transaction Fees: πŸ’Έ With increased usage, transaction fees may rise, making Bitcoin less suitable for everyday payments. Without other solutions, the "fair cost" of a transaction when Bitcoin is actually used is around 10-20 USD. πŸ“ˆ #BitcoinFees
6/ Tail-End Emissions & Uncapped Supply: πŸ“Š Bitcoin's finite supply (capped at 21 million coins) could be slightly increased by tail-end emissions, potentially helping with fees. This likely won't harm Bitcoin's value proposition. πŸ‘ #BitcoinSupply
7/ Block Size Debate: πŸ’¬ The block size debate has been ongoing for years, with some advocating for larger blocks to accommodate more transactions. This debate will spark up again. πŸ”₯ #BlocksizeDebate
8/ Centralization & Lack of Agility: πŸ”„ Bitcoin's decentralized nature ensures that no single entity can control its development. However, this also means that "fast fixes" are not possible. 🐌 #Decentralization
9/ In conclusion, Ordinals & BRC20 have not broken Bitcoin. The network continues to grow, adapt, and improve, addressing challenges along the way. 🌱 Stay informed and beware of baseless claims & misinformation. πŸ›‘οΈπŸ§  #BitcoinStrong
