Drama Around Bitcoin Ordinals And ORDI Price Jump
Recently, Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr has suggested that an upgrade would fix the bugs related to the Bitcoin network congestion and BRC-20 token transfer.
Amid the Bitcoin price rally, Dashjr stated that a critical bug in Bitcoin Knots, a derivative of Bitcoin Core, has been successfully addressed in a recent update. The bug in question allowed inscriptions to surpass the data limit by disguising their content as program code.
Bitcoin Core has long permitted users to set limits on additional data in transactions since 2013. However, this loophole allowed inscriptions to cleverly bypass these limits by presenting their data as program code.
Dashjr also expressed concern regarding the forthcoming Bitcoin Core release (v26) that even the latest upgrade wouldn’t suffice the bug. He highlighted that the vulnerability still exists in this version. As per developments it would be addressed before the v27 release scheduled for next year.
Amid all these, the BRC-20 token ORDI has recently seen a staggering price jump of 131%. At the press time, ORDI price was trading at $47.00, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.7 billion. The token, however, plunged 5% in the last 24 hours. Over the previous month, the token has increased by more than 700%.
Additionally, the recent development came when Bitcoin is receiving enormous transactions every day. Top Bitcoin analysts have predicted the BTC price could shoot above $50000 as well.
