Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin believes that the introduction of Bitcoin Ordinals represents a return to a culture of "doing things" within the Bitcoin network. Buterin praised the Ordinals and the BRC-20 token standard for rejecting stagnant politics in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The conversation between Buterin, Bitcoin proponents Eric Wall and Udi Wertheimer centered around scalability issues, with Wall claiming that Bitcoin's Lightning Network can't scale for future users. Buterin suggested implementing different types of layer-2 solutions and making the Bitcoin base layer more efficient, while Wertheimer believed that the introduction of rollups could create an execution environment for smart contracts.
