My opinion on ordinals / tokens is that it’s further validation that there is no second best other than #bitcoin
And also proves that bitcoin is censorship resistant that no one can dictate the rules alone and it’s the only real democracy left in the world (the red vs blue stuff doesn’t matter, all controlled by the same people).
Simply run a node and decide if you want to propagate ordinals or not. If the majority do this then it’s dead.
For cheap and fast payments there’s always lightning network.
