The good... everything is good for Bitcoin. I've had dozens of Ethereum and NFT people reach out to me about running nodes. They are learning about UTXOs. There are a lot of positives with this. Ethereum and Solana won't be around, nor with the web sites hosting their NFTs in a decade. Bitcoin will be around for hundreds of years. It makes sense for them to preserve their artwork on Bitcoin compared to alternatives.

The bad... it's a peer to peer electronic cash system, not a file system. It's spam. They're paying 3/4 less by using an exploit or an unintended use of the system. If they were paying the same fees as the rest of us, then I wouldn't hate it. If they were not abusing the system, then I wouldn't hate it.

The ugly... This would be me telling someone how they can use Bitcoin.

Well put

Imo eth โ€œpeopleโ€ donโ€™t deserve Bitcoin

i love that ordinals is capable of running javascript

medium. people are using this to install worker processes in people's browsers as proof of concepts of malware.

I donโ€™t understand ordinal integration yet, (although Iโ€™ve been inclined to believe NFTs while intriguing lack grounds for real utility) but Iโ€™m predisposed to indifference: if the BTC idea is so strong/sound, would it be so easy to extinguish it with a few monke jpgs?

I.e. if ordinals are so bad, and the answer is for individuals to willfully not integrate them into core, isnโ€™t that like the ultimate test?

(OR: decentralization is the best of democracy; democracy is the worst of BTC; therefore democracy must inevitably its ๐ŸŒ‹๐Ÿ’ฉ)
