and yet:
Bitcoin Ordinals appear to be alive and kicking, with nearly 85% of Bitcoin network activity dominated by inscriptions and BRC-20 minting on Aug. 21.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-ordinals-inscription-still-making-majority-btc-transactions

hard to believe that if it is really true. but i guess it is.

Neither Leonidas, [b)Udi Werthimer[/b] or Cointelegraph mention that most of the "inscriptions" are actually BRC-20 mints, which are people paying an inscription service to mint useless pump n dump tokens on their behalf.

What happened to Udi Werthimer? Why does he look as though he "hates" Bitcoin?

Maybe LN will do the trick down the road.

Not much further down the road, though. We're already pretty close by the looks of it. If this stuff has to exist, it should arguably do so in the most optimised way. That's what this protocol appears to offer. The silly-picture-selling crowd just need to utilise it.

But the silly-picture-selling crowd doesn't want to store their pictures in a offchain layer. They want them in a highly secure bank-vault, which the Bitcoin blockchain provides. That's probably what will give them their "value".
