Ordinals Founder Casey Rodarmor Warns Bitcoin Maxis That 'Whining' Makes Them 'Look Weak'Casey Rodarmor, the developer of the Ordinals protocol, has called out ideological Bitcoin maxis for their views on inscriptions and censoring transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain. Rodarmor stated that the “whining” around the protocol and its usage of block space make them “look weak,” contradicting the idea that Bitcoin is “unstoppable internet money.”Ordinals Dev Casey Rodarmor Blasts Bitcoin Maxis ‘Whining’Casey Rodarmor, the developer of the Ordinals protocol, which enables the possibility of issuing inscriptions, media embedded directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, has called out Bitcoin maxis for its complaints.
In a recent blog post, Rodarmor explained that the philosophy of the so-called Bitcoin maxis was incompatible with their beliefs, making them “look weak” with their “whining” on the use of ordinals and inscriptions.
Rodarmor stated:
Simultaneously believing that Bitcoin is unstoppable internet money and thinking that a bunch of retards publishing JPEGs on-chain is any kind of problem is a contradiction.
Rodarmor also criticized the attempts to “censor” inscriptions, insisting that building code to achieve this goal would be detrimental to the ecosystem, given that it would also enable other kinds of censorship in Bitcoin.
The rise of the Ordinals protocol has caused a series of discussions in the base of the Bitcoin community, with some developers and users considering it a form of “spam,” even leading to talks of a possible hard fork. Nonetheless, for Rodarmor, there is a simpler solution to the issue.
He discussed that ignoring them is the best choice, as the market will eventually price out inscriptions when more use cases compete for Bitcoin block space. He explained:
There will always be some high-value inscriptions, but they don’t compete seriously with hard money and uncensorable transactions.
“Bitcoin’s destiny is high fees. Embrace it,” he concluded.
