Ordinal inscriptions are essentially NFTs on the Bitcoin but with a few caveats. The amount of inscriptions using ordinals on bitcoin has skyrocketed in the past few weeks. You can consider ordinals to be like serial numbers for tiny units of bitcoin called satoshis. Ordinals simply help keep track of each satoshi's unique identity, which makes it easier for them to move around. When satoshis are created, theyâre numbered in the order they are mined, and when they are transferred from one transaction to another in the same order.
âIf todayâs arts love the machine, technology, and organization, if they aspire to precision and reject anything vague and dreamy, this implies an instinctive repudiation of chaos and a longing to find the form appropriate of our times.â â Oskar Schlemmer
