Nick Szymanski: The Bitcoin community is number go up, right? Number go up good. Can you make the case that like ordinals and all of the consumption that's going on with Bitcoin, block space is actually good for the price of Bitcoin? He says if your answer is no, then you don't like ordinals. And then you will listen to people who tell you why it's bad. But Nick, even if it's good for their bags, like even if ordinals and taproot is kind of good for its bags.
