The proper use of Ordinals, not fucking monkey jpegs.

Discussion
I contributed to this project. Surprised with the low uptake in the bitcoin community. Thought everyone would be all over this.
Thank you for your contributions. I think it got a bad wrap because it was being used to spam NFTs into the blocks and spike fees. As more people recognize the use case, it will gain popularity again.
Its the best use case for ordinals. I 100% support!
I still don't understand what they are or how to use them. How exactly do I read the documents?
The JPEG contains the text, and you are paying to inscribe the jpg/text on the blockchain. Which means the information that put Assange under house arrest will be stored literally as long as the butcoin blockchain exists. Permanent record.
You can view ordinals by using programs or websites. Just decodes the image from the block.
For instance here? https://ordiscan.com/
I tried to look up Project Spartacus but it launches Dec 12. I'll set a reminder.
Must be a relaunch. I inscribed some part of the info earlier this year I think.
Even if I'm probably missing a lot of context, this doesn't sound like one of Satoshi's best moments.
