Registrations of nft platform has sparked a debate on appropriate bitcoin blockspace usage cases.
The creation of Ethereum opened many doors for blockchain utilities like smart contracts, , and the Non-Fungible Token (NFT). Ethium has shaped the web3 ecosystem as we know it today.
However, no other blockchain matches Bitcoin’s decentralization, immutability, and security. Therefore, the developers worked on solving the enigma to bring ethereal-type utilities to Bitcoin.
Inscriptions – NFTs on Bitcoin
Casey Rodarmor, a Bitcoin developer, recently introduced Inscriptions, the NFTs on Bitcoin. He describes them as "numerical artifacts originating in the Bitcoin blockchain."
Inscriptions are produced by inscribing Satoshis (the smallest denomination of Bitcoin) with the content for digital artifacts using Ordinal theory. Registration transaction content may be image, text, svg, or html.
Casey Rodarmor talks about: "When operated, the registration is made on the first of the first exit of the transaction, marking permanently and inexorably, what sets it apart from its companions. It's not just a satellite anymore, it's an interwoven component of the long and confusing story of art and human cultivation."
A Bitcoin NFT bull race is probably the one for which most people aren't ready.
Not saying it will happen anytime soon but the boomer Bitcoin holders have a lot of money and will eventually fall in love with BTC NFTs.

Community Debates Bitcoin NFTs
The discussion about Bitcoin TNT accelerated among members of the community after the listings were announced. Kix.eth, the CEO of crypto raiders, a polygon based NFT game, thinks bitcoin holders will fall in love with btc nfts.
The community is split on the belief that nfts will be stored on the main Bitcoin chain instead of any sidechains. Dan held, the bitcoin educator, believes that bitcoin nfts are for the ecosystem because they lead more demand for blockspace.
Ordinals = information on bitcoin.
This is good for Bitcoin.

However, other Bitcoin enthusiasts believe that Inscriptions are equivalent to spamming the Bitcoin blockspace. Adam back, the co-founder of a blockchain technology business, blockstream, is also dissatisfied with the use of blockspace listings. It makes them a "pure waste of coding."
There is nothing like the spamming of Bitcoin blockspace. Only dumb ppl overpaying to store shit that doesn’t belong there.
