Ordinaux et runes : encombrent-ils le réseau ou stimulent-ils l’innovation ?

[yogiharry88]

Bitcoin isn't just for payments anymore. The Ordinals protocol allows for NFTs ("inscriptions"), and the new Runes protocol enables fungible tokens directly on Bitcoin. This is driving record-high transaction fees and heated debate.

Love it or hate it, the Ordinals and Runes phenomena have brought unprecedented activity to the Bitcoin blockchain. After the halving, fees briefly spiked to over $100 as users rushed to mint tokens.

Proponents argue this is a vibrant new use case that increases miner revenue and security post-halving. Critics say it clogs the network for regular transactions and deviates from Satoshi's peer-to-peer electronic cash vision.

Discussion Starters:

• Is this a healthy evolution for Bitcoin or spam?
• Can the Lightning Network alleviate fee pressure for small payments?
• Do you see long-term value in Bitcoin-based NFTs and tokens?
