With all the pain and cope in the Ordinals ecosystem lately, I needed *immediate* answers. That’s why I called up Beezy – former Galaxy researcher and walking Ordinals encyclopedia – to tell me why Ordinals needs a defibrillator to “kind of bring it back to life.”In this episode, we chat about:

• Why Runes are on life support
• How Runes were never optimized to be useful
• Why we should ditch Runes and return to Ordinals
• What made Ordinals special, and what to refocus on
• The role of KOLs in the Ordinals space
