thanks nutildah, i was a bit confused on how it exactly works but i know you mentioned once and now twice that it doesn't get transferred to each new transaction. i wasn't quite sure what franky was saying but now i think i understand what both of you are saying. but imma have to look into the details myself to get a better understanding so thanks for pointing them out.  

i'll have to look into this aspect of it franky but one thing i can say for sure is it's very easy to counterfeit an ordinal. just mint the content in a new bitcoin transaction and now you own a bored ape or whatever other "nft" you wanted! seems so easy right? the only thing that proves yours is not the real one is if someone else's has a lower inscription #. you could make 1000 bored apes if you wanted to and no one can stop you!
