The question that arises is: based on everything we know about Satoshi and his Bitcoin White Paper, what did he think of these Ordinals? Would he support it, or not?

Since Bitcoin is not centralized and Satoshi doesn't own the right to Bitcoin protocol, technically what he thinks should not matter.

However, Satoshi has always been clear about the purpose of Bitcoin. The reason why he created it. Which is to be a payment system and it is clear that he didn't want to create a cloud storage. You can see that all over the whitepaper and in his posts in this forum.

Interestingly enough a similar situation rose back in 2010 when people were trying to use bitcoin blockchain to store "arbitrary data" to be used for the project called BitDNS. His opinion about it is clear as he states that it should be separate and not in bitcoin blockchain. That is why a separate project called Namecoin was created.

But Satoshi posted the first text message in the blockchain (bank bailout)...

If you ask me, that was a mistake, but many people (especially BSV/big blockers) will disagree, because they don't see it as a mere payment system.

They see it as a sci-fi totalitarian/all-seeing eye dystopia, where even camera video feeds will be stored in the blockchain with immutability. Shocked

People in tech communities always tend to have different goals/visions about a project, especially as a community grows more and more, more dissenting/divergent opinions will be formed. It's just human nature.

You won't understand what I'm saying, unless you've experienced it yourself in other communities too (such as metropolitan wireless networks, Linux distros etc.)

The only way to have a pure payment system and nothing else (zero arbitrary data) is with MimbleWimble (GRIN, BEAM).
