It's a shame because Ordinals could have actually had real utility but the problem is 99% of the focus went into BRC-20 and hyping clones of pre-existing projects (Bitcoin Punks, Bitcoin Apes, etc.), which is why so many bitcoin maxis are keen to instantly write it off altogether.

The overall concept still has potential, even if the current implementation and intent behind it leaves a lot to be desired.

Once all the mindless speculation stops and things are built correctly, using something efficient, like Taproot Assets, I'm still fairly confident there is genuine utility to be found. The only reason people are writing it off is because it's currently poorly implemented and because unscrupulous people are using it for blatant profiteering to sell the digital equivalent of magic beans to gullible suckers.

I don't see Ordinals as "lucrative" (as per OP) in any way, unless you're the type of person (not you personally, nutildah, but in general) who somehow still sleeps at night knowing they've taken advantage of someone. If they are used properly as a tool to represent real-world assets like financial documents, deeds, wills, etc, then that would be a world in which I can accept Ordinals. Until then, however, it's a sleazy, underhanded crap-fest, much like ICOs, forkcoins and other the other speculative-bubble-abuses that have occurred previously. I want no part of that.

franky's misconceptions about people really needs to be put in to check. maybe he'll read your stance and realize how he shouldn't just stereotype people with labels when clearly he's just doing that for his convenience but at the expense of smearing their name a bit...

i'm sure franky would still be against that since he considers it to be polluting the blockchain, thus making it more expensive for him to send bitcoin. as though that's the only reason bitcoin should exist...for him to be able to send money cheaply. and anything that interferes with that is not to be allowed. what a short-sighted, unfortunate view he has since it will end up crippling bitcoin if people like him was in control. he wants it to be just like it was in 2009 or 2010. those days are gone franky and no one wants them back except people like you who are sitting on a mountain of money.
