Sooooo, was I swindling and lying?

I’ll be honest, I’m guessing here, but I think that arweave link is just so the nft is easily viewed, but in the case that the link is broken, the jpeg isn’t lost because it’s encoded in the block, so you could still view it.

Again the point of these inscriptions is that it makes the data immutable. These are not your standard nfts, these are different.

I understand you’re not familiar with them and thus very skeptical. They’re extremely new, but I’m not acting in bad faith here. I’m sharing them because they’re blowing up right now because it’s new tech on solana. They’re fundamentally different than other NFTs on the solana blockchain.

Ordinary NFTs just point to a jpeg on arweave. They’re not immutable. Inscriptions are not your ordinary NFT.

Metaplex NFT standard specifically

Nope. Spl20. Look here at the other inscriptions: https://www.spl20.io/

Also, ordinals are a Bitcoin specific thing, there is no equivalent for it on Solana.

Ordinals are digital artifacts in that the data is written directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This is the same except it’s written on the solana blockchain.

you couldn’t trade them on a platform like tensor since tensor deals with NFTs

Inscriptions are immutable NFTs, just like ordinals are immutable NFTs.
