Hello everybody! Just sent Chris his first 1K zap #[0] (he’s been away for a few weeks coding great #[1] just had to explain him how zaps work with all urls included🤣)

Can you please zap the shit out of him, to show him what it’s all about? He missed out on couple weeks of action 🤙

Interesting take, Chris. I do disagree with it pretty much completely.

Fungibility is a highly desirable feature of money.

Physical gold is the closest we’ve historically come to having a trust less ledger, until Bitcoin. Intrinsic value is, if anything, an obstacle to how good a commodity can act as money.

And since bitcoins are just numbers, they have zero inherent value and function perfectly as the monetary units in the trustless ledger that is Bitcoin.

> the use of Ordinals to mark certain satoshis as “NFTs” is granting this property to bitcoin

Sorry but no, it does not. Satoshis are fungible. Pretending they are non-fungible does not make it so. https://maxmoney.substack.com/p/ordinals-and-inscriptions-improvement
