Ordinals and Runes deserve a second chance The first time around we didn't really know what we were doing Nobody had ever done NFTs or memecoins at this scale on Bitcoin L1 before which resulted in a lot of UX issues It's understandable that people were frustrated and left We literally had to trade in spreadsheets for the first several months because there was no marketplace And then once we did build a marketplace half of the time the Ordinal you bought would get sniped in the mempool and never arrived in your wallet Runes suffered from similar UX issues where you were forced to buy them in "lots" instead of the normal "swap" style experience that every modern DeFi ecosystem provided And then a ton of VCs poured money into "Bitcoin L2s" thinking that would solve these problems but none of them did and most turned out to be grifts But I have great news The two years of Ordinals and Runes going down only gave our Bitcoin L1 devs the time they needed to solve all of the problems that I just described People are going to be shocked when they try out the latest experiences that we have built It's nothing like the 2023/2024 Ordinals and Runes tech The Bitcoin ecosystem has likely bottomed and the upside now significantly outweighs the downside I can feel the energy starting to rev up again Is it finally time for Ordinals and Runes to make a comeback?
