 <p>The most valuable NFT transaction in December was a digital copy of Vincent Van Gogh’s 1888 self-portrait (Van Gogh painting #216), which sold for $1.19 million. The Ethereum platform held a sale of the Frxethredemption Ticket #33 token, priced at $638,433 in December.</p>
 <p>In December, Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr said that Inscriptions, which are the basis of the Ordinals protocol, contribute to the spread of spam on the network and predicted their imminent end.</p>
 <p>The developer’s statements caused criticism and questions from the community about the appropriateness of such methods of censoring the blockchain. One user&nbsp;noted that most miners would prefer to mine transactions with “inscriptions” as they make “more economic sense.”</p>
