Casey Rodarmor joins me to chat about Ordinals and Inscriptions. Now we get into the pros and cons of this, and whether it is bad for Bitcoin. We chat:

• What Ordinals and Inscriptions are

• The ‘bull’ case for Ordinals and Inscriptions

• Do they spam the bitcoin blockchain?

• Witness data on the input side, not output side

• Is it harder to validate?

• Can it even be stopped?

• Marginal consumption of block space
