separate some concepts
A. meme junk data (ordinal content) / spam
b. NFT
if you can imagine a NFT as a 256bit hash of a file (not the junk meme itself, but a hash of it)
that 32byte hash(256bit) is then prefixed with a txformat and given a checksum suffix. thus appearing as a public address
and then put as position 2 tx output list where position 1 is the real bitcoin address that is using some protocol code locking position 2 to be associated with position1 to allow position 1 to move/spend position 2.
then that would be a NFT system where someone can spend and change ownership of a NFT
however bitcoin does not work like that
this ordinal BS is not even a hash of a meme.. its actually putting the meme into a tx that then goes into the blockchain. and because you dont normally copy (due to bitcoin protocol) the signature/witness data from one tx to the next because each TX is unique, you will have to move the meme into each TX to show its current owner.
also it takes up space AGAIN due to lack of using just hashes of a meme instead of full meme data
also the nft and meme and ordinal crap dont work as a effective ownership claims on subnetworks without blockchains. because ending its chain of custody/ancestry with one tx output...[shuffliing around in a non-blockchain subnetwork via routing] and popping up on a completely different tx .. is not showing the chain of custody/provenance proof of ownership lineage on the main net thus ownership claim is lost on the mainnet due to lack of provenance lineage pathway (taint) on the main net due to use of a subnetwork without a blockchain
so those trying now to take this new highly discussed tip of ordinals to promote a flawed subnetwork that has no blockchain. is just them trying to abuse a discussion to name drop their flawed subnetwork
