According to Adam Back, the ongoing debate between 'spammers' and 'filteroors' within the Bitcoin network highlights a potential shift in mining power dynamics. Back references a prediction by Tyler Whittle (@Dr_DAO_) that Parasite_wtf could soon surpass ocean_mining in hashrate, emphasizing the growing influence of the Ordinals community. This development could impact Bitcoin's network authority and governance, particularly regarding BIP 110 implementation.

According to @TO, Magic Eden has announced the closure of its Bitcoin and EVM NFT marketplaces, shifting its focus towards token trading and entertainment products. This strategic pivot aims to redefine the NFT marketplace paradigm by emphasizing utilities over mere collectibility, which could benefit emerging ecosystems like Ordinals and Runes.

According to @TO, Ordinals and Runes terms were not included among allegedly deboosted topics in a leaked X list referenced from a post by @camolNFT. source: @TO on X; @camolNFT on X The referenced post claims crypto content is deboosted on X, implying distribution may vary by keyword, with Ordinals and Runes reportedly unaffected in that list. source: @camolNFT on X; @TO on X For trading, monitor X engagement for Ordinals and Runes narratives and track liquidity, volumes, and funding in BTC ecosystem markets tied to these narratives following the visibility claim. source: @TO on X; @camolNFT on X This report has not been independently verified; treat it as a user-reported signal and corroborate with observed reach metrics before positioning. source: @TO on X; @camolNFT on X

According to @TO, three new 4 MB “4 meggers” inscriptions just hit the Bitcoin network, with the first titled “Preserving history on Bitcoin” (source: @TO on X, Dec 11, 2025). A 4 MB inscription approaches Bitcoin’s 4,000,000 weight-unit block limit introduced with SegWit, meaning a single transaction can occupy most of a block and reduce concurrent throughput (source: Bitcoin Core documentation; Bitcoin.org Developer Guide). When large inscriptions consume blockspace, required feerates for timely confirmation tend to rise as the mempool grows, lifting on-chain transaction costs (source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide; mempool.space fee estimation methodology). Traders should track real-time sat/vB fee tiers and mempool size to time on-chain moves during inscription waves (source: mempool.space explorer). Monitoring the share of miner revenue from fees offers a read on fee pressure during congestion (source: Blockchain.com Charts, Miners’ revenue from fees).
