Hereâs their response on twttr 
Thanks makes sense. May I ask why not do the same in Phoenix for example?
Can someone ELI5 how this is different to whatâs already been done?

You have a link for that?:)
Just questioning why it says âData not collectedâ in the App Store.. it should list all the data collected (which seems to be pretty much everything)
Oh shit, hold on, wtf .. hereâs the Privacy Policy ..

A good start here..
Would appreciate hearing pros/cons on Liquid đ

The last line is, of course, true.
The rest is apples to oranges..
The market exists for ordinals because of the pumpamentals being promoted by the deep-pocketed, massive âtaproot wizardsâ marketing department, funded by the likes of Joe Lubin (ethereum, Starkware), Da Hongfei (NEO, Onchain and ..), David Bailey (Bitcoin magazine, UTXO Management and more) and others.

Bitcoin doesnât have a paid marketing department.
Fiat brain is a disease afflicting 99.999999% of people.
They understand NGU, so getting rich off ordinals/ânfts on bitcoinâ is something they can relate to.
Itâs the same reason millions are onboarded to bitcoin during bull markets.
Yet the narrative I keep hearing about ordinals âbringing people to bitcoinâ is bullshit imo.
As soon as those people are rekt when they realize their ordinal is worth only the sats upon which it is inscribed (and even thatâs misleading as it is really in the witness section of a block and can be pruned!), they will likely leave bitcoin, distraught and in despair. They are being played for their naivety and will be exit liquidity for the same sharks that win every time.
It takes time (way too damn long!) for people to understand that bitcoin is *not about making money*.
It *is* about preserving oneâs life force in the form of a money that stores oneâs energy for later use, that cannot be manipulated or debased, that is truly scarce and decentralized, that is the soundest money the world has ever known.
Such a fundamental shift of perspective appears to be extremely challenging for most (as I, and Iâm sure most of us,
have discovered when attempting to orange pill others, especially those in so-called âdevelopedâ countries).
And as for BRC-20 tokens and stamps, all I will say is they are way, way worse than ordinals. Stamps can never be pruned and are actually causing more bloat on the timechain than ordinals.
If you want to see the energy behind stamps, check out Mike in Space on twttr, the creator of stamps.
@Portland.HODL has a PR to prevent stamps, hopefully it can be merged before too much damage is done.
While I am aware it may be a game of whack-a-mole, I absolutely think we need to continue the discussion and find the best way forward, and not just say, âOh well, because it is possible to do on bitcoin we have to just allow itâ.
If bitcoin is truly to be the global, censorship-resistant freedom money we need, we will need to continue to fight for it⌠there are too many forces, whether malicious or ignorant, that can do severe damage.
âBitcoin will winâ is only true if we continue to stand strong and defend it as if our life depends on it, which, in many senses, it does.

Sorry, hereâs the link I meant: https://twitter.com/PrinceySOV/status/1741459048430538785
(And to be clear, I know the ordinals protocol is just that, a protocol. It is the marketing around it that I find disingenuous and deceptive.)
