With all the pain and cope in the Ordinals ecosystem lately, I needed *immediate* answers. That’s why I called up Beezy – former Galaxy researcher and walking Ordinals encyclopedia – to tell me why Ordinals needs a defibrillator to “kind of bring it back to life.”In this episode, we chat about:
Why Runes are on life support
How Runes were never optimized to be useful
Why we should ditch Runes and return to Ordinals
What made Ordinals special, and what to refocus on
The role of KOLs in the Ordinals space
