Of Odds, Oddities and Ordinances

Feb 3, 2023. To NFT or Not To NFT

Okay, things are getting odd.

Personal maybe.

Offensive probably (not)? Let’s see.

Been watching and musing over the fiery relay of messages regarding some new developments on this block.

(tapping feet restlessly)

It strikes me that people are at odds about the lack of adherence to ordinances? Or oddities of such nature.

(ponders a bit and shrugs)

Anyway, I can’t get my head around this and not really sure how to feel.

Should I speak out?

Oh – maybe not, eh?!

After all, the big reveal is…

(snickers)

Back to my musing.

So, the question for both sides of this coin

(tossing an imaginary bitcoin in the air)

Is whether the block is supposed to do stuff other than money.

It’s kinda complicated when you think about it.

Again! Not sure how to feel here.

(shakes head in frustration)

On the one hand, I want to scream, “absolutely not! you… how dare you create access for NFTs of all things to be minted on this block!

Didn’t you read the whitepaper, it’s all about p2p financial transactions!”

Plus poor ETH’s had a raising and a razing from the so called jpeg on chain madness that hit it over the last year – so no way!

On the other hand, I’m kinda like – well if this ain’t all about jpegs, then what’s it about?

(looks at the listening min-t-ers as though for an answer)

I hear some out there say this block is the first dapp chain and I’m like – what???

It kind of feels offensive for a massive innovation like this to be reduced to the level of a dapp construct? Or maybe I’m being too touchy!

Anyhow – all’s forgiven.

(mutters under breath)

Or would be eventually… hopefully.

(then out loud)

These conversations make me wonder even more questions.

What exactly are the ordinances we need to adhere to on this chain anyways?

Who makes them?

(staring at the listening min-t-ers)

Hey – don’t look at me! I’m just the first ser-ver up on this block.

However, you all decide to dish or deal is all up to you.

That’s why we’re decentralized, right?

And we’re censor resistant, yeah?

(laughs out loud)

Huh! To think about all the grand sounding words, we put out when we’re shilling…

And now guess what?

(looks at the listening min-t-ers who are at once eager and anxious to hear what)

(then boldly proclaims)

Your guess… is as good as mine!

(gives an ironic look)

One thing’s for sure though

No blocks for jpegs on this block.

(concealing a smug grin)

Make of that whatever you will…
