 BTC UPDATE=20

What are Bitcoin Ordinals, and why is the cryptoverse buzzing about them?

Bitcoin is most famous for doing one thing really well: being decentralized=
=20
digital money. But while Bitcoin=E2=80=99s core ethos involves peer-to-peer=
 digital=20
payments, some developers have longwondered=20
<https://open.spotify.com/episode/2tGAzV5PAQhGZ94B3ueTnC> whether the=20
blockchain could support different functionalities like NFTs or be more=20
programmable, like Ethereum. With the most recent craze to hit the crypto=
=20
ecosystem, they may finally be getting their answer.

That craze? Bitcoin NFTs called =E2=80=9COrdinal Inscriptions.=E2=80=9D Ord=
inals involve=20
putting any kind of digital file =E2=80=94 people have minted playable game=
s, videos,=20
and images =E2=80=94 on Bitcoin=E2=80=99s blockchain, and they have taken o=
ff in 2023.

Yet, this trend has also generated controversy among some of Bitcoin=E2=80=
=99s most=20
ardent supporters. Let=E2=80=99s take a closer look.

What are Ordinals?

 * Ordinals are essentially NFTs, but for the Bitcoin blockchain. Like NFTs=
,=20
they represent digital assets. But instead of beingminted=20
<https://opensea.io/learn/what-is-minting-nft>, Ordinals are =E2=80=9Cinscr=
ibed=E2=80=9D onto a=20
single satoshi (the lowest denomination of BTC, similar to a penny vs. a=20
dollar). Inscribing is the process of putting a piece of data onto the=20
blockchain, where it will remain forever accessible and unchangeable.
 * Ordinals began rising in popularity at the end of January, and to date m=
ore=20
than160,000 inscriptions <https://dune.com/dataalways/ordinals> have been=
=20
created, including a playable version of the 1993 video gameDoom=20
<https://blockworks.co/news/play-doom-bitcoin> and a picture=20
<https://ordinals.com/inscription/3c6e07036a94946250919a83a94b0f06fb2c6dc91=
925e493fe6cc5f46509d049i0>
 of a Bored Ape morphed with a CryptoPunk.


How are Ordinals different from NFTs on other blockchains?

 * Bitcoin=E2=80=99s blockchain isn=E2=80=99t smart-contract=20
<https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-a-smart-contract>=20
compatible like those of Ethereum and Solana, so it=E2=80=99s more difficul=
t to create=20
applications like games and NFTs via BTC=E2=80=99s network.
 * Ordinals are also far more technologically limited than traditional NFTs=
.=20
While they can inscribe most forms of digital content, Ordinals are limited=
 by=20
the size of data that can fit in aBTC block=20
<https://bitcoinmagazine.com/guides/what-is-the-bitcoin-block-size-limit>,=
=20
which is about 4 MB at maximum. Additionally, the barrier to create an=20
inscription is high =E2=80=93 typically one must be running a Bitcoinnode=
=20
<https://decrypt.co/resources/what-are-ordinals-a-beginners-guide-to-bitcoi=
n-nfts>
 to be able to inscribe into a satoshi.
 * In an effort to make Ordinals more accessible, however, BTC marketplace=
=20
Gamma.io <https://blog.gamma.io/2023/02/08/whats-the-deal-with-ordinals/>=
=20
recently launched a tool to create a 60kb inscription for 21,000 satoshis (=
or,=20
sats) which is about $5. And on Wednesday, crypto wallet makerMetaMask=20
<https://twitter.com/nftnow/status/1628459676416319491?s=3D20> released an=
=20
Ordinal wallet available to its 30 million users.


What does the Bitcoin community think of Ordinals?

 * Detractors in the Bitcoin community, like Adam Back, a prominent develop=
er,=20
believe that inscriptions are a =E2=80=9Cwaste=20
<https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1619824591580598272?s=3D20>=E2=80=9D be=
cause they are=20
consuming blockspace that should be used for financial transactions, which =
is=20
Bitcoin=E2=80=99s founding, primary purpose. Because inscriptions can conta=
in audio or=20
video files, creating them has increased thecost=20
<https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/02/17/bitcoin-nfts-challenge-the-blockc=
hains-largest-use-case-money/>
 of transacting on Bitcoin=E2=80=99s blockchain.
 * Others argue=20
<https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/02/17/bitcoin-nfts-challenge-the-blockc=
hains-largest-use-case-money/>
 that because inscribing into satoshis can alter their value, it would caus=
e=20
Bitcoin to lose an important trait that money has =E2=80=94 fungibility =E2=
=80=94 since all=20
satoshis would no longer have equal value.
 * Alex Miller, CEO of Hiro, a developer for the Bitcoin smart contract=20
platformStacks <https://www.stacks.co/> (which has seen its native STK toke=
n=20
jump <https://decrypt.co/121810/stacks-token-soars-week-bitcoin-nft-hype> b=
y=20
more than 100% in the last week amid the Bitcoin NFT hype)believes=20
<https://decrypt.co/121343/over-100k-ordinals-minted-on-bitcoin-bringing-ce=
lebrations-and-network-congestion>
 that inscriptions being fundamentally different from traditional NFTs will=
=20
help spur their adoption =E2=80=94 even if Bitcoin=E2=80=99s blockchain was=
n=E2=80=99t originally=20
intended to be used for things like preserving digital versions of housing=
=20
deeds of government documents.


Why it matters=E2=80=A6 It=E2=80=99s still too early to tell if Ordinals ar=
e the beginning of=20
new use-cases for Bitcoin, or just a short-term fad. Will their functionali=
ty=20
ultimately be eclipsed by Ethereum=E2=80=99s dominance as a programmable bl=
ockchain? Or=20
will they usher in a new era for Bitcoin? People like Miller argue that=20
Ordinals have a real future. =E2=80=9CThe Stacks community [has] been sayin=
g for so=20
