In 2023, Bitcoin Ordinals emerged as NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain, creating a massive rift among the Bitcoin community. Supporters of Bitcoin Ordinal may consider a hard fork like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV in order to avoid losing the support of Wall Street firms preparing to launch Bitcoin ETFs.
Today's debate between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Ordinals is between two determined groups. Bitcoin maximalists argue that Ordinals undermine Bitcoin's use as digital gold or electronic currency. Ordinal supporters, on the other hand, think that Ordinals are possible and innovative thanks to changes in the Bitcoin protocol.
Bitcoin Core v27 will make future Ordinals impossible on the Bitcoin blockchain. By following the examples of Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV, the Bitcoin Ordinal team can create their own Bitcoin Ordinal chains without making changes at the protocol level.
Bitcoin is becoming increasingly divided at this critical time in its history. Now is the time for the Bitcoin community to unite and secure Bitcoin as digital gold and/or electronic cash worldwide. Bitcoin miners will also be more inclined to support an Ordinal chain after increased transaction fees with the proliferation of Ordinals in 2023.
