Hi Bitcoin Developers,

we already have and average block weight will trend upwards. If you=
=E2=80=99re thinking about how much disk you will need when we have consist=

=C2=A0
I completely agree with this.
> If we ban "useless data" then it would be easy for would-be data storers
to instead embed their data inside "useful" data such as dummy
signatures or public keys.
> There's a reasonable argument that this sort of data is toxic to the
network, since even though "the market is willing to bear" the price of
scares blockspace, if people were storing NFTs and other crap on the
chain, then the Bitcoin fee market would become entangled with random
pump&dump markets, undermining legitimate use cases and potentially
preventing new technology like LN from gaining a strong foothold.
Initially I considered ordinals and the use of witness for inscriptions use=
less and harmful. However I have changed my opinion after looking at differ=
ent things and reading several comments. I do not consider such things 'use=
less' or 'crap' and it won't affect bitcoin fee market negatively. There is=
no threat to LN as well.
I consider every bitcoin transaction a legit use case and would like to sha=
re an example and different perspective of how such inscriptions might be u=
sed at different places:
During the festival of Diwali, it is a common tradition among many Indian f=
amilies to buy gold coins with the image of the goddess Laxmi, the goddess =
of wealth and prosperity. The coins are often bought as a symbol of good lu=
ck and prosperity for the upcoming year. They may also be given as gifts to=
family and friends or used as a form of investment. The coins can be purch=
ased from a variety of sources, including jewelry stores and online retaile=
rs.
If people start buying bitcoin during Diwali, and sellers use the witness t=
o include the image of Laxmi in the inputs used, it would be an innovative =
way of combining traditional customs with modern technology. Since some use=
rs consider bitcoin as digital gold, I won't be surprised if this really ha=
ppens in future and won't consider it bad as the transactions are paying fo=
r block space used.
