According to @adam3us, Bitcoin now has about 105 million inscription-related data items, with only roughly 3 million being JPEGs or other images and the vast majority comprised of Runes/BRC-style entries largely used for meme coins and copied from other chains (Source: @adam3us on X, Sep 6, 2025). For BTC traders, this breakdown identifies token-style inscriptions—not image NFTs—as the primary driver of recent inscription counts on Bitcoin, a factor to monitor when assessing blockspace usage, fee conditions, and miner revenue sensitivity to transaction mix (Source: @adam3us on X, Sep 6, 2025).

According to @adam3us, increased JPEG inscription activity on Bitcoin is pricing new users out of owning a UTXO and displacing economic activity central to Bitcoin’s value proposition, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 5, 2025. He states JPEG-related usage is extremely wasteful for Bitcoin blockspace even if it counts as economic activity, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 5, 2025. He adds such data should be stored on external services like Imgur or IPFS rather than on the Bitcoin blockchain, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 5, 2025.
