Based on your logic, we should do nothing to aware people of phishing and scams as "if that's what they want to do and it's in their budget, then we should let them".
No. Based on their logic, we should absolutely warn them about scams, but if they nonetheless want to visit the phishing site, we shouldn't deprive their right.
I suppose that is the best way to put it, I agree.
You can logically deduce what is happening...
All I can see is people playing around with another greater fool theory financial instrument. The fact that miners get paid along the way doesn't mean they invented it in secret.
Most of us are long past using "conspiracy" to discredit logical opinions rather than providing valid reasoning to rationalize the opposing opinion.
All I'm saying is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I didn't claim that miners did this in secret, you did. So, it is you who needs to back this up.
In terms of their influence over creation, that is a broader topic that may not be able to be discovered or ever known for sure, I can't argue with that. However, in terms of who is profiting and if it is linked to mining pools, this is something that
one could discover if they dug deep enough.
Successfully giving proof on top of the logic flow, would take days of not just blockchain analysis but investigative work too...It would require tying bitcoin movements, finding mistakes that link mining pools/miners to large ordinal transactions, gathering intel from influencers who are a part of this scene, and more...
Though what would be the motivation to dig this information up and prove it? Let's say hypothetically this were to be proven, what change would it cause? What would be the flow-on effect? The end of ordinals? Would that be a possible outcome upon proof?
