Organization
Just Stop Ordinals
Because blockspace is sacred.
Overview
Just Stop Ordinals is a fringe Bitcoin activist group known for its radical stance against the use of Bitcoin blockspace for anything other than “pure monetary transactions.” The group views Ordinals, inscriptions, meme coins, NFTs, and any form of non-payment data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain as a form of digital pollution.
Inspired by climate protest movements and zero-fee purists, Just Stop Ordinals employs high-drama tactics, media pressure, and occasionally hilarious performance art to make their point: Bitcoin is for value transfer—not JPEG graffiti.
Mission Statement
To protect Bitcoin’s blockspace from vanity inscriptions and restore transactional purity.
Tactics & Activity
Just Stop Ordinals is known for:
- Hosting online “vigils” during large inscription surges
- DoS-attacking testnet NFT projects (denied, but rumored)
- Publicly shaming Bitcoin miners who process high-fee inscription blocks
- Chaining themselves to USB ASIC miners in symbolic protest
- Releasing long, typo-filled manifestos written in plaintext
