Bitcoin transactions aren't exactly exploding. And now that chain is also getting cluttered with trash jpegs (Ordinals).

I get the idea and appreciate it. But it's too cluttered with scammers, fraud, and plain money laundering to fulfill its original mission.

I would be happy if it goes down because if it does succeed in its mission, it pretty much means some truly awful human beings will have disproportionate power in our new financial system.

I'd rather not live in a world where Justin Sun owns a large % of my currency supply.

Pick one, it can't be empty and cluttered at the same time

Typical HN cope

It doesn't matter if he owned more than Satoshi, no individual has the power to change the rules of Bitcoin, that is what makes it so powerful

Remind me again what the original mission of Bitcoin was again? It's in the first few lines of the whitepaper if you forgot
