Reimagining the Bitcoin Ordinals Numbering System
Casey Rodarmor, the genius behind Bitcoin Ordinals, has proposed that it’s time for a facelift in the inscription numbering system. Why? Because the current method is leading to “ugly code” that’s akin to putting on an old pair of shoes no one wants to wear anymore.

However, not all SEC members are on the same page. Commissioners Hester Pierce and Mark Uyeda argue that the project leans more towards fan crowdfunding—an innocent hobby among creators rather than a financial scheme. Isn’t it wild how everyone sees the same situation through completely different lenses?
