It looks great, but don't expect Ordinals to go there because nobody is interested in actually developing it, only printing money off of it.

And for a second layer to be successful, it needs an ecosystem around it, which is only possible by quickly gaining adoption.

I'm sad that RGB & Taro don't see as much popularity as the Ordinals or other projects. I found the RGB protocol very promising when I discovered it a bunch of years ago.

Lightning is well suited for this type of stuff and it already exists. I'm all for innovation, but I'm also all for not reinventing the wheel and for using time & resources (this includes the Bitcoin blockchain) in a responsible way.

I didn't care at all before for off-chain layers built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain except for the Lightning Network. But experiencing how annoying Ordinals NFT and BRC-20 have been, I believe there's this expectation from their users that paying for high fees is "normal" to participate. BUT there's such a thing as capital and technical efficiency, and RGB, Taro, SatoshiVM, or another off-chain solution will definitely start gaining some attention from developers/users who are actually trying to find a cheaper solution for token minting/trading.

NFTs and "digital artifacts" users might prefer the security of the Bitcoin blockchain though, and would not care for the high fees.
