 <p class="is-style-lead">Famous Bitcoin (BTC) developer Udi Wertheimer advocated for the adoption of Bitcoin Ordinals, despite widespread industry criticism.</p>
 <p>In a post on X, Wertheimer noted that many people reject the concept of Bitcoin Ordinals. However, he supported the adoption of Bitcoin Ordinals and opposed those who have sought to eliminate them.</p>

 <p>Wertheimer states that “many high-ranking teams have powerful developers.” Instead, he encourages his 183,400 followers to experiment with the technology.</p>
 <p>However, Wertheimer emphasizes the importance of Ordinals in the Bitcoin blockchain but states that he considers Bitcoin’s role as a store of value to be more critical and paramount. Additionally, Wertheimer does not believe that Bitcoin Ordinals are a problem due to the lack of demand for Bitcoin payments.</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p>“That’s the main reason why I believe ordinals are not a problem in the first place. It’s not like there are that many people who wanted to use BTC payments otherwise.”</p> <cite>Udi Wertheimer, </cite>
 </blockquote>
 <p>In December, Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr reported a vulnerability in the Bitcoin blockchain and admitted that after fixing the vulnerability, Ordinals and the BRC-20 standard would cease to exist. According to him, creating digital artifacts is possible only because Bitcoin Core does not restrict the size of additional data that can be included in transactions. He also insists that Ordinals harm Bitcoin and its users, and their impact is enormous and irreversible.</p>
