As for me I was on the fence but then have been enchanted by the cool things that artists like MDV are doing with inscriptions... Like Blockforge, a full metaverse living on the Bitcoin blockchain. It's precisely the fact that these projects *must* work within the harsh constraints of the Bitcoin blockchain that is precisely what imparts a lot of artistic merit, IMHO. Blockforge for instance is a procedurally generated world that is derived from (a) a "world seed" and (b) a ~800kB HTML file, which are the largest actual assets that sit on the blockchain. Everything else is produced client-side.

Understand. Inscriptions aren’t my thing but I get that some like yourself are into them. And I agree that doing things within the blocksize limit is interesting and important.

Inscriptions only exist because datacarrier definition was changed to only apply to outputs. This is not a standard Bitcoin behavior.
