In this episode of The Ordinal Show, we welcome back Casey Rodarmor to discuss various facets of the Ordinals and Runes protocols on Bitcoin. The show dives into Casey's perspectives on the state and future of these protocols. Casey touches on the cultural and innovative impact of Ordinals, the challenges and improvements desired in the areas of collections, parent-child standard, and metadata on-chain. He discusses potential enhancements, including dynamic galleries and structured metadata, while maintaining a focus on user incentives and system security. The conversation also spans the philosophical aspects of language and notation, robustness of the protocol, and the implications for Bitcoin as a whole. Casey also delves into his new project, File Pack, and reflects on the practical challenges and future plans for open-source maintenance. The show closes with a chat about Bitcoin's long-term prospects, the role of inscriptions in securing the network, and the potential geopolitical impacts of Bitcoin adoption.
