Ordinals, which have attracted attention with their rising performance in recent days, have divided the Bitcoin (BTC) community into two.
Ordinals, which stand out as tokens written on Bitcoin and have experienced serious increases in recent days, split the community in two. With the increase of ordinals interaction Number of unconfirmed transactions on the Bitcoin network starting to increase when the network slows down There has been an interesting demand for the elimination of these tokens.

Since 2013, Bitcoin Core has allowed users to set a limit on the size of extra data in transactions they transfer or extract. However, Ordinals bypass this limit by disguising their data as program code. Bitcoin Core is still vulnerable in the upcoming v26 release. I hope it will finally be fixed before v27 next year.
According to on-chain data, it is already on the Bitcoin blockchain More than 260,000 unconfirmed transactions There is, and according to some of the community, the increasing transactions of the Ordinals protocol are responsible for this.

Among Ordinals tokens ORDI (ORDI) And Pepe (PEPE) There are well-known names such as.
