According to Wertheimer, there are many high-ranking teams with powerful developers who reject Ordinals. However, he encourages his followers to experiment with the technology. While he considers Bitcoin’s role as a store of value to be more critical, Wertheimer believes that Ordinals are important in the Bitcoin blockchain. He also argues that the lack of demand for Bitcoin payments means that Ordinals are not a problem.
“That’s the main reason why I believe ordinals are not a problem in the first place. It’s not like there are that many people who wanted to use BTC payments otherwise.”

Last December, Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr reported a vulnerability in the Bitcoin blockchain and stated that after fixing it, Ordinals and the BRC-20 standard would no longer exist. Dashjr believes that Ordinals harm Bitcoin and its users, causing enormous and irreversible damage.
