Ordinals - A Cypherpunk's Guide to Bitcoin

Brandon "Psifour" Conley is a Bitcoiner and cypherpunk and an enthusiastic proponent of the Bitcoin Ordinals Project. Why you should listen The Ordinal Theory Handbook explains that Ordinal theory concerns itself with satoshis, giving them individual identities and allowing them to be tracked, transferred, and imbued with meaning. Satoshis, not bitcoin, are the atomic, native currency of the Bitcoin network. One bitcoin can be sub-divided into 100,000,000 satoshis, but no further. Ordinal theory does not require a sidechain or token aside from Bitcoin, and can be used without any changes to the Bitcoin network. Ordinal theory imbues satoshis with numismatic value, allowing them to be collected and traded as curios. Individual satoshis can be inscribed with arbitrary content, creating unique Bitcoin-native digital artifacts that can be held in Bitcoin wallets and transferred using Bitcoin transactions. Inscriptions are as durable, immutable, secure, and decentralized as Bitcoin itself. Other, more unusual use-cases are possible: off-chain colored-coins, public key infrastructure with key rotation, a decentralized replacement for the DNS. For now though, such use-cases are speculative, and exist only in the minds of fringe ordinal theorists.

Metaverse Law - How to Protect Yourself

Brett Sager is a commercial trial lawyer at Ehrenstein Sager, a business law boutique providing bespoke trial and transactional services. Sager specializes in digital asset disputes, especially in play-to-earn games and Metaverse land sales. Why you should listen Play-to-Earn games provide an opportunity for investors to earn profits while having fun. However, until the regulation of digital assets is more established, investors should be careful when investing their digital resources in games in the metaverse. Although PTE games create an opportunity for rewards, they invite potential risks for gaming investors. That risk exists because the digital asset industry does not face the same federal oversight as traditional investments such as stocks and bonds. For now, a PTE game or virtual real estate investor won't receive the same financial and nonfinancial disclosures they would otherwise receive if they were purchasing a more traditional investment.

Gamma - the marketplace for Bitcoin Ordinals

Jamil Dhanani is the co-founder of Gamma, the open marketplace for Bitcoin NFTs, including STX and Bitcoin Ordinals. Why you should listen Gamma is a Bitcoin-based NFT marketplace and a home for your Web3 social identity. Gamma started as an open marketplace for Bitcoin-secured NFTs on the Stacks blockchain, and has since added support to view Ethereum NFTs, and most recently support for Ordinals — including a no-code creator portal for Ordinal inscriptions. Thanks to Ordinal Theory (which references the ordering of individual Satoshis), we can now inscribe data onto single Satoshis on the Bitcoin blockchain directly and transact them like NFTs. Whether it's an image, a memo, or anything else you want to inscribe, this data is truly immutably and securely stored directly on the L1 Bitcoin Blockchain. Before NFTs took off on Ethereum, NFTs had originated on Bitcoin. But due to the complexities and limitations of the Bitcoin blockchain, Bitcoin-native NFTs could never really take off — until now. At the time of writing, nearly 200,000 inscriptions have already been made, and creating your own inscriptions are easier than ever thanks to Gamma's no-code Ordinal inscription tool. With the rise in interest around Ordinals, Bitcoin blockchain activity has increased greatly, giving miners more fees and putting positive effects on the security and decentralization of Bitcoin. And because of Bitcoin's robustness, every inscription is immutably and permanently secured on the Bitcoin blockchain. Stacks is a smart contract layer for Bitcoin that brings extra functionality to the Bitcoin base layer, allowing us to build everything from DeFi to Bitcoin-secured NFTs. Because Stacks allows for scalability and functionality beyond Bitcoin, we can create a robust ecosystem of Bitcoin-secured NFTs using the Stacks blockchain.
