📌 What is it?
Ordinals are unique digital assets (similar to NFTs) inscribed directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. They allow images, videos, and other data to be stored permanently on BTC.
🔥 Why is it trending?
✅ Expands Bitcoin’s functionality beyond payments
✅ High demand from collectors and investors
✅ Growing infrastructure (new marketplaces, wallets)
🚀 Top Ordinals Projects:
• Bitcoin Punks – the first CryptoPunks-style NFTs on BTC
• Taproot Wizards – iconic digital art on Ordinals
• Runes Protocol – a new token system on Bitcoin
⚠️ Risks:
❌ Higher BTC network fees due to Ordinals
❌ Skepticism from Bitcoin purists (some call them “blockchain spam”)
❌ Limited functionality compared to Ethereum NFTs
📈 Future Outlook:
Ordinals continue to gain traction, and their ecosystem is expanding. If the trend holds, Bitcoin could evolve beyond just a store of value into a hub for digital assets.
