Jerry Gensler6d agoHow many Bitcoiners are actually into Ordinals? Like, as a percentage. The art is generally pretty god awful, and “rare sats” aren’t a thing. The closest I can get to understanding it is like a coin collector wanting to put a premium on collecting certain coins. The urge to create a sub-culture and economy on top of a monetary layer. I start to MAYBE understand the draw when I think about them like that.
But then I remember how god awful the art usually is 😂 I’m purely in Bitcoin to save for my kids’ and my grandkids’ futures. Literally all I care about.

I made the decision to start pointing my miners at home to Parasite Pool, and made some comments about how I like the incentive structure with partial block rewards when any one of the solo miners within the pool hits a block. It makes sense to me to have the best of both worlds between pool mining and solo mining.
Anyway- it’s a big ordinals community bc the guy who came up with it is into ordinals. And after making supportive comments about Parasite, I have 20 new followers on X with these JPEG profile pics… so my signal:noise on this one got super skewed on the level of support overall.
