 Been wondering this myself 
 Puts it in the next block. Verifiable proof.  
 I read it but I still don't understand lol:)

Is it used for like copyright?🤔 
 Say I have something super important to say. I'm worried every relay is going to remove it for whatever reason. I say it on nostr, ots it, and it goes into the next available btc block that I said this thing at this block height, where it will live forever.  
 I don't think it would work for copyright, but I am also not a lawyer 😅 
 I can't imagine I'll ever post anything important enough on nostr to timestamp lol 
 Lol nor me, but edges & all that. Even if I was running my own relay & I say "super important thing" and there was a threat of arrest & confiscation of hardware or perhaps worse, ots can help ensure longevity & broad distribution of that message.
