Are you for or against ordinals?

[Lucky Holders]

Ordinals are good for the Bitcoin future because they can:

Increase the demand and value of satoshis, as each sat can become a unique and scarce asset.

Enhance the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin network, as more users will be incentivized to run full nodes and validate transactions.

Showcase the versatility and innovation of the Bitcoin protocol, as ordinals can enable new use cases and applications that were not possible before.

Attract more users and developers to the Bitcoin ecosystem, as ordinals can make Bitcoin more engaging and fun.


Ordinals are a new feature in the Bitcoin protocol that aims to make it more engaging and fun for users. They are not an attack on Bitcoin’s fungibility, but rather a way to celebrate its diversity and creativity. Ordinals are a testament to the power and potential of Bitcoin as a global platform for digital expression.

You'll have to walk me through the rationale on that one.  If anything, will create less incentive to do that.  I doubt many of the people who are using websites to upload this stuff are bothering to secure the network with a node of their own.

Ordinals just showed the way how to abuse Bitcoin, others found out and built a business around spamming Bitcoin with trash for some cash, especially companies that newer were Bitcoiners in the first place and don't care or actually prefer that Bitcoin goes down to favor their own altcoins/nfts...
Remember that while common folk can't use Bitcoin for what it was invented for, others push trash for cheap since the protocol allows it. This whole year devs looked the other way, like it was nothing. Exploit clearly demonstrated, nothing was done about it, and here we have it again, it never went away.
A pool that uses its resources for dubious "trading" activities, is more than willing to spam Bitcoin for some liquidity that lets them play more casino...
