What do Bitcoin ecosystem CEOs make of Ordinals, and what does the video game Doom have to do with it?
The ordinal number will continue to exist. Ordinal, the level at which a bitcoin (BTC) chunk chain is permanently connected to data, usually in photo or JPEG format, is a controversial topic among some team members on Bitcoin and the wider password street. But this is not the case for the builders and CEOs of companies committed to bitcoin, who attended an in-implementation Bitcoin exchange in London.
Cointelegraph learned about the views of several CEOs, contractors and key opinion leaders on serial numbers in all the meetings. The most important state of mind is from surprise to indifference, and then from obedience.
Alex Lashman, CEO of River, told Cointelegraph that he doesn't have a position on ordinal yet, but recently got an ordinal:
"abstractly, the idea of building a meta-layer similar to tracking communications satellites on Bitcoin is really attractive and may cause hidden interests in other things."
Lashman, for example, recently played a clone of the traditional online game Doom (called Yet Another Doom Clone) on an Ordinal. Lashman downloaded from the blockchain: "someone embedded eschatology into a small web page on JAVASCRIPT and Ordinal."
Eric Sirius is the founder and consultant of FEDI and the administrator of the open source protocol Femint. She told Cointelegraph that he was "very neutral" about ordinal numbers:
Fundamentally speaking, we should not do anything about it in a morally consistent way. For example, if we try to fight it, what gives us the right to do so? Apart from that, we cannot fight it effectively. [.] So, yes, why should we be anxious about it?
Silisburn added that she is not necessarily a fan of the serial number, which may destroy the blockchain, but he said: "where do I come from and can tell others what to do with the fees they pay?"
Since then, the Bitcoin blockchain has become more and more "loose", with the average blockchain size reaching an all-time high, but fees are basically the same.
Benoit Mazouk, CEO of BitcoinPoint, an American bitcoin exchange, shares Sirion's anxiety about blockchain congestion. Mazouk explained that although he knew Bitcoin's key opinion leaders, such as Blockstream CEO Glover Palo, who commented that ordinal numbers were "worthless", he "preferred Bitcoin as a kind of loan coin".
Perhaps more worryingly, users can synchronize image processing and attack capability data to the blockchain. Recently, surprising pornographic videos were submitted as Ordinal.
But permanence and containment of auditing go both ways: Lashman shows that potentially critical and permanent records of events with cultural connotations can be etched into the blockchain forever. Leishman commented: "the serial number can finally be generated, and it can be said to be really resistant to the specific content of the audit."
Brad Colors, chief executive of Bitcoin magazine, recently published a discussion article on culture and art, referring to the rebuke of Luo Yixiao Dahl's books. Doubt whether it is worthwhile for traditional Chinese medicine to concoct banned books on the block chain as a way of storage.
In general, ordinal numbers gradually change the way bitcoin promoters apply and process bitcoin. Compared with the first application example, the serial number brings another test case to the Bitcoin Internet: point-to-point cash. Lashman concluded:
"maybe the Bitcoin database system has other uses, and they are more willing to pay for it, which will be a good thing for mining, maybe that's the real benefit."
Since the serial number was launched, the miners have made a lot of money from each block chain, and short video game players can rest assured that the eschatological reproduction loaded from the bitcoin block chain is playable.
