Whereas Ethereum NFTs sometimes require metadata to be stored off-chain, sometimes on a traditional web2 website, Bitcoin Ordinal data is all stored on-chain, reducing the risk of data loss. The SegWit and Taproot updates to the Bitcoin network allow for a lot of data to be stored in this manner.
Buying, selling, and trading Bitcoin Ordinals
To buy Bitcoin Ordinals, you’ll need to use a wallet that is compatible with Taproot addresses. Many of the most popular Bitcoin wallets, such as Trust Wallet, Mycelium, and Blockchain.com wallets, do not support this feature. You can use wallets like Sparrow Wallet instead.
