sometimes the line between a bug and "not a bug" gets blurred and becomes a grey area especially when developers don't address it openly and officially. but i guess that's what you get with bitcoin is a grey area of use cases. which is unfortunate for everyone because there's no guarantee that at some point some bitcoin dictator might take over development and stomp out ordinals or things like it. leaving people that invested in that feature holding a broken dream.

example: the inflation bug they really acted on that fast. if they would have just sat around doing nothing and letting people abuse it then that would be how it has been going with ordinals.

and yet, bitcoin is up to a year high even with all the ordinals crap. maybe that's why it is. more use cases.
