On this episode of Hell Money, Casey Rodarmor tells the full story of his failed attempt to get the Ordinals BIP accepted into the Bitcoin repository - a three-year saga that ended in a silent rejection.

We break down what a BIP actually is and how Bitcoin’s governance process handled - or failed to handle - one of its most controversial proposals.

Topics covered:

- What is a BIP and how the process works

- What Ordinals actually are (sat tracking vs "assets")

- The full Ordinals BIP timeline (2023–2026)

- Casey’s technical, personal, and political grievances

- BIP 110 vs Ordinals

- A proposed reform plan for Bitcoin’s BIP process

- Bitcoin governance and ossification risks

On this episode of Hell Money, we perform the last rites for Ordinals after the collapse of Magic Eden’s Bitcoin marketplace and the end of the easy money era. But is this actually the death of Ordinals — or the beginning of something stronger? We dive into the shifting economics of on-chain art, the role of provenance and galleries, Bitcoin vs crypto culture wars, and the latest AI developments in World War 3.
