Web3 Decoded Codex · Track Analysis · Ep.21 | Bitcoin was supposed to be just digital gold — then someone figured out how to inscribe data directly onto satoshis. This episode unpacks the Ordinals protocol, BRC-20 tokens, and why Bitcoin is no longer just a store of value.
Key Insights:
– How the Ordinals protocol turned satoshis into digital artifacts, using the Bitcoin network like permanent storage
– The hidden cost: Why inscribing data on Bitcoin creates a battle for block space between financial transactions and digital art
– What this means for Bitcoin’s future as a settlement layer versus a programmable ecosystem
