Does each satoshi have a unique identifier?

Bitcoin Ordinals protocol( launched in 2023, just DYOR) allows to inscribe each individual satoshi and set to them the unique identifiers. Those satoshes can be traced (with the relevant wallet app,  like Ordinals Wallet) and traded . Moreover some people believe that so called rare  satoshis are more valuable that other ones and sell/buy them on overestimated price. I'm not in their class and believe  that all  satoshis are equal in their value.



All bitcoin are equal in a perfect world but world is not perfect and third-parties will add metadata to the transparent Bitcoin blockchain.

If you really think all bitcoins are the same value, would you trade your BTC with a BTC that is known to be stolen from an exchange ?
If the answer is no, then all bitcoins are not the same.
