Brands and Budgets Win Early Bitcoin Ordinals Races

I remember when Ordinals on Bitcoin first launched — there was a sprint to build a marketplace. I was building one for a client and finished at the same time as ME.

Their team, renting an Airbnb villa, produced a slightly better product than I did from a dark apartment with energy drinks. Several teams finished earlier than us, but ME ultimately dominated the space with their budgets and established brand.
