The Great Bitcoin NFT Debate
AI summary of the linked articleThe article argues that the dispute over Bitcoin NFTs (Ordinals and inscriptions) could be resolved by adding OP_CAT to Bitcoin, which would let NFTs move to Layer 2 networks like Starknet while remaining rooted in Bitcoin. It describes a bridging process in which an inscription-bearing sat is locked in an OP_CAT covenant, a STARK prover records the lock, and a Starknet contract mints an ERC-721 representing it. The author suggests this would move NFT activity off the Bitcoin L1, reducing congestion and state bloat, while L2s could pay miners to settle on Bitcoin. The article characterizes the remaining obstacle as political rather than technical. |
1 comment mishaSubmitter I never had the hots for ordinals etc, just mint your NFT on Ethereum, you’ll be fine ;) Interesting also is that BTC culture is always about maxing out lol. |
