It's also laughable that any Bitcoiner would contemptibly use “monkey jpegs” as a pejorative. Bitcoiners also widely promoted Ordinals and Runes, which were complete failures. Ord shut down just this month. So if you are deriding smart contract facilitating chains as just monkey jpegs, your beloved blockchain is even lower than monkey jpegs. Core is also doing everything they can to facilitate Citrea, which is bringing EVM compatibility to Bitcoin. All of this stuff is too little too late, like Microsoft spending billions on AI for no return. Bitcoin is grasping desperately to try to capture pies of commerce which are already settled firmly in the hands of vested interests. And Core encouraged all this divergence in the first place! They spewed idiotic shit about “store of value” and “fee market” while openly deriding anyone that wanted to use blockchains for actual tangible utility. Then, a decade later, after all that opportunity is squandered, they try to push NFTs and EVM contracts. It’s too late! You people could have listened back when we were saying Bitcoin needs to actually be more than digital gold years ago. And you double down on your belligerence today, even with Bitcoin Core pathetically trying to facilitate another bubble of monkey jpegs and *failing at it*, authoritatively demonstrating that Bitcoin is tangibly, measurably worse at actually accomplishing things than other chains! The years-late desperation clings to you all like tar. You fucking stink of it.
