Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr revealed plans to eliminate the Ordinals because he believed they were causing flaws in the Bitcoin network.
The debate over ordinals highlights tensions around permissionless growth and the limits of blockchain scalability. Added operations increase functionality and security but reduce efficiency. However, outright banning ordinals raises concerns about censorship that contradicts the idea of hierarchical systems.
Is it possible for Bitcoin serial numbers to be eliminated?
A short tweet shared by Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr has caused quite a controversy in the community today. According to Dashjr, the latest update called “Bitcoin Knots v25.1 will eliminate the ability of Ordinal to spam the blockchain. It does this by limiting the additional data required to write an inscription to a block.
Dashjr claims that this update is still problematic, but plans to fix the bugs in v27. Without going into the details of these updates, one thing we should note is that Dashjr's statement about removing Ordinals after the release of version 27 is completely accurate.
Following Dashjr’s sudden statement, Ordinals supporter Zack Voell issued a candid response to Dashjr, urging people to stop spamming the thread. Voell also disputed Dashjr’s claim that Ordinals were being wiped out in an upcoming update. Notably, the backlash from Ordinals supporters has sparked a community debate on censorship and the limits of the use of the Bitcoin protocol. This is especially important when prominent figures in the community emphasize the benefits of on-chain protocols.
Ordinals supporters argue that Bitcoin’s decentralized nature means the network can be used for any purpose, including non-financial transactions. Regardless of inefficiencies, such as increasing fees or making the blockchain more cumbersome, restricting blockchain activity could set a dangerous precedent that would weaken the Bitcoin network’s censorship resistance.
On-chain analyst Willy Woo said Ordinals could be a long-term solution to ending the block reward mechanism in the distant future. Woo believes that unless fees (such as those generated by writing inscriptions to blocks) are worth the effort of miners to maintain the network, the network will fail. This view is also supported by MicroStrategy President Michael Saylor, who said Ordinals represents an influx of innovation and talent from other chains into Bitcoin, leading to a large number of applications developed on top of the Bitcoin base layer.
