Bitcoin Ordinals Censorship Debate Sparks As Experts Weigh In

The Bitcoin blockchain network has seen a huge network activity recently with Bitcoin Ordinals creating a massive frenzy among investors. As per data from Dune Analytics, the daily inscriptions have reached a massive 400,000 with trading volumes shooting to $40,000 and gas fees spiking to new highs.

Experts Weigh In on Bitcoin Ordinals Censorship

The massive surge in Bitcoin gas fees caused by Ordinals and inscriptions has sparked massive debate over their censorship. However, this has simultaneously raised questions over the decentralized nature of Bitcoins.

Crypto analyst MD Bitcoin has shared insights on the use of Ordinal + inscriptions, highlighting that these applications do not treat Bitcoin as a traditional form of currency. Instead, they utilize Bitcoin nodes to store “images or any intellectual property,” leveraging the Bitcoin brand for promotional purposes.

MD Bitcoin sees the free market as an ideal space for such initiatives, emphasizing that everyone should have the opportunity to utilize Bitcoin. He notes that this also serves as a valuable stress test for the Bitcoin network. MD Bitcoin poses the question of whether this constitutes genuine innovation or mere exploitation, suggesting that it could enhance Bitcoin awareness and potentially lead to a “hash war” scenario if intellectual property storage becomes a common practice.

While advocating for the avoidance of censorship, MD Bitcoin acknowledges that this situation might expose potential weaknesses in the Bitcoin network. Ultimately, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the mainchain while allowing innovation on the network.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back also added: “you can’t stop JPEGs on bitcoin. complaining will only make them do it more. trying to stop them and they’ll do it in worse ways. the high fees drive adoption of layer2 and force innovation. so relax and build things”.

The Frenzy Around Bitcoin Ordinals

The launch of BRC-20 SATS on Binance has significantly contributed to the heightened enthusiasm surrounding these digital assets. The inclusion of spot trading pairs offers users diverse opportunities to interact with 1000SATS, facilitating smooth trading against major currencies such as USDT, FDUSD, and TRY.
