Hi Zac,
Let me share what those parasites achieved:
- Fees paid: 150 BTC
- Lot of users and developers trying bitcoin that either never tried or gave up
early in 2013-15
- Mempools of nodes of being busy on weekends and got lots of transactions
- PSBT became cool and application devs are trying
I’m not sure why any effort should be spent on theorizing how new opcodes
might be used to facilitate parasitical use cases of the blockchain.
If anything, business models relying on the ability to abuse the blockchain
as a data store must be made less feasible, not more.
