Scattered Thoughts on the Bitcoin Ecosystem

Key Takeaways

• 
• ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
• Inscriptions—a special category on Bitcoin (some call them Bitcoin NFTs)—still provoke fierce debate in the community and may even trigger a soft fork. I have not spoken much publicly about the Bitcoin ecosystem lately, mostly recalling and reflecting on how this sector has evolved.
• An unfortunate fact: pump-and-dump schemes in the inscription community are more covert and harder to trace with hard evidence. Where there are people, there are schemes—but inscription manipulation is harder to pull off. Perhaps I hold a relatively high bar; essentially flaws may not overshadow the whole.
• The inscription minting period gave everyone time to choose—that may be the fairness people feel. Even market makers need real capital at stake.
• A structural flaw of the Bitcoin ecosystem is that miners cannot be fully "fed." In practice, miners have been the only group that profits without risk. Miner fees—the original premise of Ordinals—became a stumbling block to further prosperity. Without changing this, the Bitcoin ecosystem cannot become a high-frequency trading market.

Inscriptions—a special category on Bitcoin (some call them Bitcoin NFTs)—still provoke fierce debate in the community and may even trigger a soft fork. I have not spoken much publicly about the Bitcoin ecosystem lately, mostly recalling and reflecting on how this sector has evolved.

An unfortunate fact: pump-and-dump schemes in the inscription community are more covert and harder to trace with hard evidence. Where there are people, there are schemes—but inscription manipulation is harder to pull off. Perhaps I hold a relatively high bar; essentially flaws may not overshadow the whole.

A structural flaw of the Bitcoin ecosystem is that miners cannot be fully "fed." In practice, miners have been the only group that profits without risk. Miner fees—the original premise of Ordinals—became a stumbling block to further prosperity. Without changing this, the Bitcoin ecosystem cannot become a high-frequency trading market.

This quiet season after the bloom may be when everyone is thinking: Bitcoin is not yet digital gold; inscriptions and runes are not yet digital jewelry.

Meme casinos move too fast—fast enough to feel conspiratorial. On Bitcoin, "slow is fast" is also emotional value. In bull markets everyone chases quick money elsewhere; in bear markets they miss the Bitcoin ecosystem again. Perhaps it is cyclical—the crypto cycle theory applies here too.

Many diamond hands are now accumulating inscriptions; a natural deflation cycle is beginning. Perhaps inscriptions were always a luxury living on Bitcoin's time chain. Their renaissance may simply require waiting for more blocks.

Good morning, bitcoiners.
