 Last time I checked, NFTs and inscription are just links to an image. At the end of the day, the imagine file is being stored on a computer somewhere. If you right click on the image, you can see what server it's being stored on.

 that's the ordinal concept of indexing - so its permanently referenced to the main bitcoin block ie inscribed. I remember we spoke about the token previously. Both this Bitcoin NFT and the token worries me as it affects the Bitcoin ethos.

 I need to see an ordinal url to see/understand.  Like how does it reference it? (Example bitcoin.com/photo. png?) The worse/best case scenario, miners do a chainsplit. Issue is, from my understanding it takes a lot of hash power to process these ordinal which creates incentives for miners to mine for the high fees. 🤷‍♂️

 I'm do not know how the link looks like - as I was looking for it I came across this article. https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/01/31/bitcoin-community-erupts-in-existential-debate-over-nft-project-ordinals . It has a bunch of info (original thread) from the creator and others. 

Did not know miners gain perks from it. That figures

 In bitcoin, whatever is on chain is stored on all full node.
