Leonidas, creator of Bitcoin Ordinals, has issued a stark warning, threatening to fund an open-source fork of Bitcoin Core if censorship efforts targeting Ordinals or Runes occur. This follows growing tensions within the Bitcoin community over the inclusion of large data uploads like images and videos on the network. Leonidas argues that such actions would set a dangerous precedent, potentially leading to decisive action from the Ordinal Army. 100% of Bitcoin’s hash rate has already been secured by miners who are willing to accept any transaction as long as it comes with competitive fees, according to Leonidas. This response follows remarks from Blockstream CEO Adam Back who argues these transactions constitute spam and have no place in the Bitcoin timechain.
