Ordinals

📝 Definition:

Ordinals are like special tags for each tiny piece of Bitcoin (BTC), making every bit unique.

It’s like marking your own banknotes so everyone knows they’re yours.

🔑 Key Features

• Unique Tags: Every tiny part of Bitcoin, called a satoshi, gets a unique number.
• Trackable: With that you can follow the history and ownership of each Bitcoin piece.
• More Than Money: Thanks to that, Bitcoin can now hold things like digital art or special messages.

⚙️ How It Works:

• Assign Numbers: Every tiny part of Bitcoin, called a satoshi, gets its own special number.
• Store on Bitcoin: These numbers are saved right on the Bitcoin network.
• Collect Them: People can turn these numbered Bitcoins to turn them into digital collectibles or artworks.

💡 Applications:

• Collectible Bitcoins: Each Bitcoin can be unique, like a collectible card.
• History Checks: See where each Bitcoin has been and what it’s been through.
• Art on Bitcoin: Artists can create and share digital artwork tied to specific Bitcoin pieces.

🔍 Example:

Imagine if every dollar in your wallet had a little story to tell—where it’s been, who’s used it, and even could carry a small picture or note.

Ordinals make it possible for each satoshi to do just that.

That makes every piece of Bitcoin (BTC) unique and more interesting.
