Most lovers of digital collectibles think of Ethereum<\/a>, Solana, or Polygon when discussing them, and for good reason\u2014proof-of-stake blockchains have dominated the NFT sector. However, Bitcoin-based digital collectibles have been around since 2014, and a number of projects have made it their ongoing goal to introduce NFTs to the first and largest cryptocurrency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NFTs<\/a> are digital assets that can be proven to be one of a kind and are connected to other digital (and occasionally physical) works of art, movies, and music that provide evidence of ownership or membership in a select club.<\/p>\n

NFTs have been a part of the Bitcoin<\/a> ecosystem for about ten years now, but some people still don’t understand the value.<\/p>\n

One of these projects is called Ordinals, and some Bitcoin maximalists consider it to be an insult to the fundamentals of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

"you can't stop them" well ofc! bitcoin is designed to be censor resistant. doesn't stop us mildly commenting on the sheer waste and stupidity of an encoding. at least do something efficient. otherwise it's another proof of consumption of block-space thingy.<\/p>\n
