Problem: You're late to the Ordinals party. 🥺
Solutions: Start your own party, or join an existing party! 🎉
Firstly, regardless of some complaining bitcoin maxis, Ordinals are not going away, as I wrote here on Mar 21: https://yourcryptodoctor.com/post/bitcoin-ordinals-aka-nfts
Moving on, you can simply inscribe an element that you like onto the bitcoin blockchain. You can create your own Bitcoin Graffiti. You can carve your name into the chain forever.
Here's the cheapest way I have seen to inscribe your own Graffiti:
https://unisat.io/inscribe
I like that they have all the fees broken down for you.
One thing to keep in mind is the fee. The demand for blocks is variable throughout the day, but seems to be the lowest 1-4am EST. (0500-0900 UTC)
So, if you inscribe your cat photo at that website, and put in a low fee, your pic will hang out in the mempool until the miners decide to include your data. This may take days or weeks or never for a low fee. If you're anxious to get Garfield on the blockchain sooner, pay more.
You will need to set up a bitcoin wallet that is prepared to receive ordinals. Sparrow wallet is the most trusted option for this. Here's a short YouTube video to setup your Sparrow for ordinals: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rlNY2QCMQbU
Tip: Make a new wallet address only for ordinals.
If you want to join an ordinals party that has already started, look around Crypto Twitter. Trust me, this is all still just getting started, and you are not late. Here are some of the big projects right now:
@TaprootWizards
@Astral_Babes +
@BitcoinFrogs
@btcordinal +
There is some interesting stuff going on over at these projects as well:
@BitcoinBurials
@HoneyBadgersBtc +
@ordpapers
@Bitcoin_Punks_ +
FWIW, I own the ones with a +, so far.
You can engage with these groups on discord for free.
If you want to read more first, go check out the Ordinals Handbook at https://docs.ordinals.com
It's not too late to get on board the Ordinals train. As of today, over 910,000 ordinals have been created.
We will probably cross 1 Million in the next day or two.
Growth is Accelerating.
Any questions?
If I didn't include your favorite project, let me know.
If you're already on board with some of these projects, Let's Fucking Go!
Please 🤙, ⚡️, and repost if you enjoyed this!
Or, just buy btc and hodl if you don’t want to join this party! 🎈
