Bitcoin's price reaching $45,000 has ignited a debate over bitcoin ordinal inscriptions. Ordinals create larger size transactions than regular transactions and generate more fees for miners, resulting in higher profits. This has caused some consternation over the bitcoin blockchain network becoming congested and unconfirmed transactions spiking. While some are critical of Ordinals, others view it as a positive innovation with Bitcoin's open-source approach allowing users to experiment. The potential of higher fees for miners has provided much needed relief for miners after struggling during crypto winter last year. Ultimately, Ordinals appear to be here to stay as they are seen as 'unstoppable'.
