If you think ordinals are some sort of justice that takes away control over Bitcoin from toxic maxis, you have entirely missed the point. And you might just have to go back to reading Satoshi’s White Paper one more time.
A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. Emphasis on CASH. Why am I so focused on that specific part? Well, because that's what Bitcoin is—money.
With all the exposure most bitcoiners have had to the positive effects of the Bitcoin law in El Salvador, you should understand its purpose by now. No?
We are far away from a hyperbitconized world. Still, with a little adoption worldwide, we can see how Bitcoin changes lives, gives opportunities, and brings economic justice with sovereignty.
Ordinal theory is just a way for privileged people to keep the fiat status quo alive at the expense of humanity's one pure opportunity for actual freedom. And if you don’t see it or understand, if you think there is one more application to Bitcoin, and this is all just fun and games, I invite you to come to Latin America.
Bitcoin is far too important for us to think that experimenting on layer-1 is just a part of progress.
Progress happens when you can keep your savings and use them as you see fit without being dictated by central bank policies. It's when you can provide for your family with your earnings from yesterday without worrying about greedy bankers printing more money and taking away from your ability to put food on the table today.
JPEGs are not progress. Being able to stay in your country and build a life is. And if you can’t understand that, maybe it is time for you to walk out of that mental cage and step into the real world.
