2/ It’s clear Satoshi didnt want this activity on mainchain. He thought fees and «other things» could limit what we’re seeing now.

It seems clear tha BTC has now failed in the design intention, which was to enable scripting while limiting arbitrary data/extensibility.

Bitcoin seriously needs to stop being so dogmatic

The headline number is falling because of the base effect.

Inflation was so high last year that the year-over-year growth looks low.

But inflation is not improving.
