Casey Rodarmor joins me to chat about Ordinals and Inscriptions. Now we get into the pros and cons of this, and whether it is bad for Bitcoin. We chat:
- What Ordinals and Inscriptions are
- The ‘bull’ case for Ordinals and Inscriptions
- Do they spam the bitcoin blockchain?
- Witness data on the input side, not output side
- Is it harder to validate?
- Can it even be stopped?
- Marginal consumption of block space
