This is embarrassing. What a mess.
You’d think Magic Eden telling the Ordinals ecosystem to piss off would have brought the community together. Instead we’ve got:
• People arguing about which marketplace is now the “best”.
• People crying about marketplace fees. Marketplaces are businesses. They need revenue to function. If you can’t afford fees, you probably shouldn’t be messing with Bitcoin and Ordinals in the first place.
• People begging for free mints. Free mints are cool, but believing you’re entitled to them says a lot about why some people are actually here.
• People arguing about galleries and who should or shouldn’t be allowed to inscribe them, something that shouldn’t even be a debate.
What Magic Eden did was shit, no doubt about it.
But when you look at the state of this ecosystem right now…
are we really surprised they walked away?
