Bitcoin Cardinal Theory
Satoshi Nakamoto gifted the world with one of man’s greatest inventions: perfect money. His white paper explicitly asserts the intent of Bitcoin is a “peer-to-peer electronic cash system,” and it ran without issue for well over a decade.
Alas, charlatans have recently obfuscated Satoshi’s efforts by implying there are other justified uses for Bitcoin. They make these ill-founded claims through an Ordinal Theory proclamation.
This page is intended to debunk the nebulous Ordinal Theory gimmicky language with a factual retort in Bitcoin Cardinal Theory. It is hoped that this will reinforce the foundational belief that Bitcoin is intended exclusively for sound money.
