As far as I understand, the author of those ordinals is paying a lot just to mint text 832991.bitmap on blockchain, am I right? Why the hell should someone buy NFT that is a text 832991.bitmap?
Because it's part of a collection:
https://ordinalswallet.com/collection/bitmap
You see how it immediately raises in value?

Beautifullllll
We live in a strange world where it's normal to pretend that you are an animal captivated in human's body and request a special care at school or other places. So, now it makes sense to say that this is a piece of art for some people.
Nice way to say it but I'm still on the opinion some people should be flogged till they can't see lines or colors anymore!
