I've read many criticisms to the Ordinals protocol for bloating the #Bitcoin network and making it too expensive for average transactions, but this halving might be a good opportunity to realize that miners will eventually need to move beyond block rewards to remain solvent...
This means fees generated by inscriptions and further developments will become the main incentive for miners to keep providing electric power.
This was well foreseen by Satoshi himself, and it's this kind of use cases – inscriptions, Runes – that will keep production profitable for miners as the #Bitcoin network matures and demand for #btc continues to grow at a faster pace than its mining.
As most beautiful things do, it all started with a simple phrase: "I’ve been working on a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party."
