Agree with the first paragraph. But still don’t see how the comparison in the second has any weight.

There is nothing holding the “consensus” of ordinals together.

This issue isn’t about whether something is “consensus valid” or not, it’s about the degree of assurance of the *consensus system itself.*

So yes, ordinals have their own consensus, just like my HOA, just like a game of Dungeons and Dragons, just like you can buy a plot of land on the moon, and just like #Bitcoin.

But I’m saying that to treat all of these *very different* consensus models as exactly the same is simply not a useful (or accurate) framing.
