   +
   +The Ordinals Civil War is the Bugleverse's longest-running internal conflict: the
   +fight over whether pictures belong in Bitcoin blocks. It is the beat the Bugle was
   +founded on, the fight it declared over three separate times, and the one storyline
   +in which the paper switched sides — publicly, on air, and without apology.
   +
   +It is also the fight that the Bugle cannot leave alone. [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod
   +Palmer]] dates his own arrival at [[orgs/the-bugle|the Bugle]] to Q4 2023 and names
   +the ordinals war, alongside anti-Swanitism, as the beat he was hired into — "and we
   +were writing about anti swanitism, just off ordinals."[^rod-hired] The audio record
   +opens four months later with the two positions already fully armed: in the very
   +first episode of *Bugle Weekly*, [[characters/richard-greaser|Richard Greaser]]
   +argues that spam is not a bug but the mechanism — "the reason why is because the
   +only way to get Bitcoin development to happen is to break Bitcoin with
   +spam."[^greaser-spam-thesis] Two cues from the end of the same episode, the show
   +plugs the movement dedicated to destroying that mechanism: "There'll be more
   +information about Just Stop Originals."[^jso-first]
   +
   +**Who's in it:** [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod Palmer]] · [[characters/richard-greaser|Richard Greaser]] · [[characters/erin-redwing|Erin Redwing]] · [[characters/casey-rodarmor|Casey Rodarmor]] · [[characters/udi-wertheimer|Udi Wertheimer]] · [[characters/luke-dashjr|Luke Dashjr]] · [[characters/terrence-yang|Terrence Yang]] · [[characters/charlie-spears|Charlie Spears]] · [[characters/pledditor|Pledditor]] · [[characters/david-bailey|David Bailey]] · [[characters/cory-klippsten|Cory Klippsten]] · [[characters/notgrubles|Notgrubles]] · [[characters/justin-bechler|Justin Bechler]] · [[characters/peter-todd|Peter Todd]] · [[characters/portland-hodl|Portland Hodl]] · [[orgs/knotzis|the Knotzis]] · [[orgs/just-stop-ordinals|Just Stop Ordinals]] · [[orgs/podconf|PODCONF]]
   +
   +## 2024: the war as inherited furniture
   +
   +For the show's first year the ordinals war is ambient rather than central — a
   +supply of metaphors more than a subject. Greaser imagines Udi banning smoking in
   +the metaverse by flooding every virtual room with water, and Palmer immediately
   +reads it as the blockchain joke told sideways.[^udi-metaverse] A beheading gets
   +absorbed into the filter fight as a suspected false flag: "the Fix the Filters
   +group to be funding terrorist organizations that are beheading Bitcoin miners is
   +pretty alarming to me."[^beheading] Memorial Day war dead become "spam to the
   +government blockchain, if you know what I mean."[^memorial-spam]
   +
   +By midsummer the show declares the war finished. Ordinals are normalized and
   +retired as the conference's designated argument, with only holdouts left —
   +"I think Terrence would have, Terrence Yang would have an opinion on that. I don't
   +think he's over it, but I think most people are."[^ordinals-retired] Politics takes
   +the slot; Greaser predicts the magazine will rebrand and reads Bailey's ambition
   +plainly: "I I think David Bailey is trying to attempt to be the next Rupert
   +Murdoch."[^bailey-murdoch] The outro files the verdict — politics is merely
   +PODCONF's successor distraction, "despite Podkomp's attempts to waste everyone's
   +time with politics, just like they did with ordinals."[^podconf-successor] The
   +armistice did not hold. It is the first of three.
   +
   +### Terrence Yang in the men's room
   +
   +The war's most durable piece of canon is a bathroom. In July 2024, Palmer reports
   +that Yang "got caught on TikTok offering a stranger an ordinal in the
   +bathroom"[^yang-bust] and was carried out by the Secret Service. Yang denies it and
   +pleads COVID, which the hosts read as cover: "He responded to our break in the news
   +that he was caught at the Bitcoin conference trying to sell ordinals in the men's
   +bathroom."[^yang-denies] By March 2025 the story is settled canon and an absence:
   +"Nobody has seen or heard from Terrence since he got busted trying to trade
   +ordinals."[^yang-vanished] The Bugle asserts itself as the record of it —
   +"He was caught in the men's bathroom"[^yang-junseth] — and is still invoking it two
   +years later as the founding precedent of the getting-caught genre: "when when
   +Terrence when Terrence Yang was caught."[^yang-precedent] The war, in the Bugle's
   +hands, is a drug bust.
   +
   +### The mempool payola
   +
   +October 2024 supplies the war's corruption theory. A new tool — "this new feature
   +Yeah. Allows users to easily spot transactions that contain ordinals"[^mempool-feature]
   +— is alleged to have been bought: "the feature was basically added due to bribery
   +from the ordinals community."[^mempool-bribery] Palmer's version names names, badly
   +mangled: "that Nen Po was bribed by Ui and his ordinal Shikwena army," with a
   +counter-allegation that Ocean Pool was quietly including ordinals in its own rare
   +blocks to make the fees pay.[^mempool-udi] The charge extends: Ocean "allegedly
   +prioritizes blocks with ordinal transactions."[^ocean-bribery] Palmer stresses it is
   +"all a legend."
   +
   +Politics keeps feeding the fight. Greaser proposes that the fee market be rescued by
   +Trump, who "becomes an ally of Taproot Wizards. He realizes that that shelling NFTs
   +on"[^trump-wizards] Ethereum was a mistake. [[characters/pledditor|Pledditor]]
   +breaks the story that Trump sold the Bitcoin Bailey gave him — and the report itself
   +sets off a wave of inscriptions, making the purity cop an accidental ordinals
   +influencer: "and, Predator reported that one this week and it kind of created a
   +flurry of ordinals."[^pledditor-flurry] At year's end Palmer opens the annual roll
   +call: "every year, Udi and the ordinals are on the naughty list."[^naughty-list]
   +Twenty minutes earlier in the same episode, Greaser had argued for inscribed
   +marriage certificates — "I think every marriage, they should upload the marriage
   +certificate signed by the minister through the blockchain as in an
   +inscription"[^inscribed-marriage] — which is the show's position on ordinals in
   +miniature, held in both hands at once.
   +
   +## 2025: derangement syndromes
   +
   +March 2025 gives the conflict its clinical vocabulary. A caller blames the strategic
   +reserve on the magazine — "all of this is David Beatty and Shinobi's
   +fault"[^terrence-pasadena] — and Palmer formalizes it: "Dieter Bob, suffers from
   +David Bailey derangement syndrome,"[^dbds] with [[characters/deeter-bob|Deeter Bob]],
   +Yang and Pledditor named as the usual suspects and the symptom being replying to any
   +Bitcoin Magazine employee to blame them for ordinals. The reflex is documented as
   +premeditated: asked who would first accuse the newly freed
   +[[characters/ross-ulbricht|Ross Ulbricht]] of shitcoining, Greaser answers "that both
   +Dick Whitman and Platteter already have tweets drafted."[^drafted-tweets]
   +
   +### Erin Redwing and the turn
   +
   +The Bugle's own reversal begins in April 2025 with a listener-discretion warning:
   +"Hey, guys. It's Kaylee. Richard asked me to warn you that you may find this episode
   +upsetting."[^kaylee-warning] The guest is [[characters/erin-redwing|Erin Redwing]],
   +and she does not defend inscriptions so much as reclassify them. Ordinals are
   +"ordinals, which is just Bitcoin astrology in its own way."[^astrology] The chain is
   +"Bitcoin is the library of Alexandria that can't be burned."[^library] The wallets
   +are simply better, with the disputed part optional: "The ordinals mode is, like, the
   +hard mode for the the wallet itself."[^ordinals-mode]
   +
   +Her central charge is that the war was never technical. The spam narrative, she
   +argues, was pushed through the Swan media orbit for business reasons: "the fact that
   +ordinals was driving up fees was a direct threat to Swan's business model, which
   +tries to prioritize low fee transactions."[^swan-motive] On the Luke-versus-Casey
   +question she diagnoses a fear of losing "intellectual control or understanding of
   +what Bitcoin is. And, like, ordinals push that in a way that doesn't
   +compute"[^luke-casey] — offered against Greaser's competing theory that the real
   +crux is Casey's ancestors killing Jesus. Greaser, for his part, aims biblical
   +astrology directly at [[characters/luke-dashjr|Luke Dashjr]]: "you probably have your
   +25 kids sitting down and you're reading them the story of Jesus"[^wise-men] — the
   +three wise men having been astrologers. Palmer draws the fork: "the two people who
   +know Bitcoin the best are, like you said, the ordinals people and
   +feds."[^ordinals-or-feds]
   +
   +The episode was bait. Palmer admits it a week later: "But it was really more about
   +astrology. We we didn't want to scare people away."[^bait-admission] In the same
   +breath, the detente is announced — "Aaron invited us to in Scribe in Vegas"[^media-partnership]
   +— a formal media partnership between the Bugle and the ordinals people.
   +
   +### Node rape
   +
   +May 2025 is the war's rhetorical peak, and the Bugle supplies the register. Palmer
   +establishes a consent doctrine for himself: "You can put JPEGs in my mempool. I'm a
   +side for punks. I'm a man that can handle it."[^consent-doctrine] Others are sorted
   +into the taxonomy — "you look at a guy like Charlie Spears. Like, he's he's all for
   +it. He's like, come violate my mempool."[^spears-willing] The outro executes a
   +spammer mid-gloat: "This shit is the best. Thank God that Oodie taught me how to
   +piss in the mempool."[^timechain-police]
   +
   +The bit is formalized the following week with a theorist attached — "Peter Todd
   +believes that our nodes should be raped with monkey JPEGs"[^todd-theorist] — and the
   +[[orgs/knotzis|Knotzis]] position is reported in its own register, insistently
   +non-hyperbolic: "that they do not want their nodes raped."[^knotzi-position] Palmer
   +turns it back on the outraged with a golden rule: "do unto other nodes as you would
   +have done onto your nodes."[^golden-rule] His anti-filter argument reduces to a
   +casting call: "you have to let hot JPEGs in your mempool. You have to let them
   +all"[^hot-jpegs] — you cannot claim to be uncensoring and keep
   +[[characters/lyn-alden|Lyn Alden]] out. And he coins the line for attending enemy
   +events: "I'm comfortable enough in my maximalism to go to an ordinals
   +conference."[^comfortable-maximalism]
   +
   +Greaser buys Nordinals hats and states the compromise position — the right to
   +inscribe is real, he would simply rather the block space went to cigarettes: "them
   +use the the block space for non KYC cigarette transactions."[^nordinals-hats] The
   +same episode closes on a pro-inscription answer record: "You want your man pool
   +squeaky clean. But mine's got memes and art and dreams. You call us spam, I call us
   +signal."[^answer-record] Elsewhere the fight is domesticated entirely — into a
   +mixed-marriage question, "a person who runs, like, Bitcoin knots and supports filters
   +versus somebody who, you know, runs a horde and, like, they like hornals,"[^mixed-marriage]
   +and into a land acknowledgement owed for block space taken.[^land-acknowledgement]
   +
   +### Vegas: the Bugle crosses the line
   +
   +At Bitcoin 2025 the paper embeds with the enemy — "we're gonna be hanging out with,
   +Aaron Redwing at the, the Inscribing Vegas event,"[^embedding] which Greaser calls
   +"Ground zero for node rapage" — and files the inversion the whole trip rests on:
   +"I find it really strange to be surrounded by people that are actually using
   +Bitcoin."[^actually-using] Palmer poses the koan — "Is it possible that one man's
   +spam is another man's entropy?"[^entropy-koan] — reframes the vocabulary itself,
   +noting that "arbitrary data" functions "in the context of arbitrary data on Bitcoin
   +because it's it's kind of a slur,"[^arbitrary-slur] and dates his own turn to a
   +permission structure: "if Trump's not afraid to get canceled, like, a lot of people
   +will follow. And I I was one of those."[^trump-permission] Then the Bugle commits on
   +air: "We're gonna do we're gonna do a bugle, inscription. We just don't know exactly
   +how we're gonna do it."[^bugle-inscription]
   +
   +The turn is not free. Palmer alleges live that PODCONF's sudden anti-ordinals
   +position was bought, naming a likely payer: "Probably Corey, that's Swan, maybe
   +Master Creator, one of those two."[^podconf-bought] Guests decline the premise
   +entirely. [[characters/joey-canadian-bitcoin|Joey]] has no OP_RETURN opinion at all
   +— "Bitcoin is for friends and enemies. I I printed T shirts with friends and enemies
   +on it"[^friends-enemies] — because paying for block space makes him richer.
   +
   +### The dialect and its limits
   +
   +The war supplies its own reductio. Palmer ventriloquises the Knotzi case to
   +[[characters/portland-hodl|Portland Hodl]] with the show's purest specimen of its
   +dialect — "I think Bitcoin is broken if it is gay. And if these fee markets for
   +ordinals make Bitcoin gay,"[^gay-money] — and Portland, unable to rebut an aesthetic
   +claim on technical grounds, concedes he knows it when he sees it. Pressed to accept
   +that ordinals broke Bitcoin, he refuses: "never broken by UTI. I think that is a
   +completely false claim,"[^portland-refuses] ruling that Udi only ever created a fee
   +market. The rooftop Koreans of the 1992 riots are imported wholesale into the node
   +war;[^rooftop-koreans] Netanyahu weaponizes inscriptions and Bechler sails a filter
   +flotilla of Knots nodes to Gaza in response.[^flotilla] Dennis Porter rolls Knots out
   +across North Korea so Kim can filter spam, "refusing to host spam" being the Juche
   +way.[^north-korea]
   +
   +[[characters/charlie-spears|Charlie Spears]] is introduced as the war's double agent —
   +"There's one man who refuses to forget about ordinals. For years, he walked amongst
   +the Bitcoin maximalists"[^spears-coldopen] — only to reveal he was a JPEG shitcoiner
   +all along. He is candid about the economics: "if you know how shitcoins work,
   +insiders make all the money. I've spent a decade making myself an
   +insider."[^spears-insider] His accounting of the damage is the war's most useful
   +data point: the JPEGs cost him nothing, but "It was the it was the filter discussion
   +that really broke the camel's back and got me blocked by a lot of
   +people."[^spears-blocked] Greaser later endorses Spears's aphorism "Bitcoin is for
   +enemies, not for JPEGs. It's true"[^enemies-not-jpegs] and convicts it of engagement
   +bait one cue later.
   +
   +## Late 2025: the Bugle stops pretending
   +
   +By October the paper's position is a flag, not a hedge. Palmer states it as fact and
   +refuses the genre: "I've made several non standard sized op return
   +transactions"[^op-return-fact] — and the JPEGs are on your node right now, which is
   +not a confession, not an apology, and not an admission of guilt. The doctrine
   +follows: "don't let other people call your transaction spam,"[^dont-let-them] a
   +message you meant being categorically distinct from an advertisement you did not.
   +Greaser demonstrates framing as combat, flipping the Sistine Chapel argument into
   +its opposite — "you use it to make your own Sistine Chapel."[^sistine]
   +
   +The 80-byte OP_RETURN limit is the coroner's finding: Bitcoin died because someone
   +removed "the 80 byte limit on a GitHub pull request. And now LoopDash Jr."[^eighty-byte]
   +The most complete distillation of the filter war is Greaser's grandmother. Dashjr
   +scolds him for inscribing her pie recipes "on chain because the pie recipes will will
   +give Bitcoin type two diabetes,"[^pie-diabetes] and Palmer names the condition: "it's
   +grandma's pie recipe, derangement syndrome, at its worst."[^pie-syndrome] Greaser's
   +defense is economic: he paid a fee, a miner mined it, it is a transaction.
   +
   +The war's sincerest voice is a guest called Stu, expelled from Bitcoin University,
   +who states the ordinals thesis without a trace of irony: "The purpose of trading
   +JPEGs on Bitcoin is to lose your Bitcoin"[^stu-thesis] — you buy the JPEG, it goes to
   +zero, but you paid the miner, so you supported the network. Asked to define the
   +object at the center of the whole conflict from first principles, he manages "it's a
   +j it's a web p that lives in the control block of a tap through transaction,"[^webp]
   +whereupon Greaser asks him to do it again like he's talking to a journalist. A boost
   +reads the whole thing back to the hosts as engagement mechanics: "Nazis don't realize
   +the spammers like to see them pissed off."[^spammers-like-it] Greaser poses the
   +Christmas koan — are you "actually a Bitcoin podcaster if their podcast isn't
   +inscribed"[^podcast-koan] — and Palmer inverts the purity test into a distribution
   +strategy, since Pledditor's block-by-block filtering is free marketing: "And if yours
   +doesn't set off an alarm bell and piss them off, like, it's it's gonna be hard to
   +grow."[^purity-as-growth]
   +
   +## 2026: the ordinals win a bracket
   +
   +The war's origin is retold in the archival register by
   +[[characters/rudy-dazzleworth|Rudy Dazzleworth]], reading Hodlonaut's *The Capture*:
   +the trigger was "a decision by Bitcoin Core maintainer, Gloria Zhao, to merge a
   +change, relaxing the default limits on how much nonfinancial data"[^gloria-trigger]
   +could be embedded — with the anti-change case stated straight, that inscriptions make
   +the chain "a dumping ground for data."[^dumping-ground] In the same week
   +[[characters/justin-bechler|Justin Bechler]] files the counter-obituary: "Something is
   +happening to Bitcoin's anti spam movement"[^anti-spam-dying] — the faction is losing
   +its own people, "One by one, accounts that spent years raging against
   +inscriptions."[^one-by-one] His exhibit is [[characters/notgrubles|Notgrubles]], "one
   +of Bitcoin's clearest and most aggressive voices against spam on the
   +network,"[^notgrubles-before] who at the first four-megabyte inscription block "reacted
   +the way any principled Bitcoin are concerned about block space abuse would react. He
   +wanted to filter."[^notgrubles-filter] The technical case Bechler recites approvingly
   +— "Fewer archival nodes means slower IBD for new participants"[^ibd] — is recited
   +precisely so the reversal reads as abandoning an argument he had gotten right.
   +
   +Then [[characters/casey-rodarmor|Casey Rodarmor]] wins [[storylines/maxi-madness|Maxi
   +Madness]]. The campaign is documented as a bribe, not a grievance: "if you vote for
   +me, I'm gonna turn on the turbo flag. And people said, free turbo flag."[^turbo-promise]
   +Having won, he has no idea what he promised: "If anybody has ideas for what the turbo
   +flag should do, definitely let me know. You know what I mean? I'm all ears over
   +here."[^turbo-clueless] The ordinals "dog army" is credited with delivering the
   +all-*Hell Money* final.[^dog-army] Redwing reports the tournament's one genuine
   +détente — the maxi side's biggest account workshopping an ordinals feature in the chat:
   +"But yellow was in the chat on the stream, and yellow was throwing out ideas for the
   +turbo flag."[^yellow-unity] The stipulated prize claims jurisdiction over the BIP
   +process itself: Core must "close the the BIP one ten PR, and then I think they have to
   +reopen the ordinals BIP and give it a number."[^bip-stipulation] Greaser, defending the
   +Bugle against the charge that ordinals were never represented, gets the premise rejected
   +outright — Udi and [[characters/eric-wall|Eric Wall]] are anti-maxis who happened to land
   +on ordinals: "Udi and Eric have competed in the past, and they performed extremely
   +poorly."[^udi-eric]
   +
   +Greaser reveals what he nearly minted at Vegas: his own Core-versus-Knots propaganda
   +posters, "of, all the propaganda posters from the, you know, core versus knots article
   +I did a long time ago"[^propaganda-inscription] — the war correspondent one step from
   +selling the war as inventory. And Palmer's field report closes the inversion the
   +storyline has been building toward for two years: at the maximalist expo hall the feds
   +outnumbered the plebs, while "when you went to the ordinals it was all it was there was
   +no Feds in sight."[^no-feds]
   +
   +The third armistice arrives in April 2026, and it is a redefinition. Greaser rules that
   +the spam was never the data: "using the Bitcoin blockchain wasn't the spam. It was, the
   +plebs getting out there and, you know, being annoying was the spam."[^plebs-were-spam]
   +Asked whether Slipstream's shutdown vindicates Core, Palmer allows that v30 may have
   +saved Bitcoin.[^slipstream] By May the surviving question is tactical: Redwing and
   +Rodarmor, both rebuked by Core, "think that they can ally themselves with the Bitcoin
   +plaques, and that's their strategy right now"[^olive-branch] — which Greaser doubts buys
   +them Luke Dashjr.
   +
   +## Disputed
   +
   +**When the war ran.** This page previously carried a span of 2023-04 to 2024-01, drawn
   +from a sweep of Bugle News headlines, and described the conflict as one that "later
   +evolves into the filter wars and the Core vs Knots War." The audio record does not
   +support a 2024-01 terminus. The verified beats run from March 2024 to May 2026, and the
   +[[storylines/core-vs-knots-war|Core vs Knots war]] is not a successor to this conflict
   +but a concurrent front of it — the same beats are filed under both. Palmer's own
   +first-person dating puts the newsroom on the beat in Q4 2023,[^rod-hired] which the news
   +headlines corroborate; the front end of the span is sound, the back end was invented.
   +The span here is set from Palmer's account and the last verified beat. The news articles
   +listed on the earlier version of this page are not cited above because no beat in the
   +index attests them; they may well be real Bugle coverage, but they are not evidence this
   +page can lean on.
   +
   +**Whether the war ever ended.** The record contains three armistices and no peace. The
   +show declared ordinals normalized and retired in July 2024, with Yang as the last
   +holdout;[^ordinals-retired] it was arguing about them at a rhetorical peak ten months
   +later,[^golden-rule] and litigating the BIP process over them twenty months after
   +that.[^bip-stipulation] Henry's note: the declarations of death are themselves the
   +recurring beat, and are recorded as such rather than reconciled.
   +
   +**Who the Bugle was for.** The paper has no stable position and the record should not be
   +made to supply one. Greaser argues spam is the only thing that forces Bitcoin
   +development,[^greaser-spam-thesis] buys Nordinals hats,[^nordinals-hats] and puts Udi and
   +the ordinals on the naughty list[^naughty-list] — the last two within a month of each
   +other. Palmer declares for the Knotzis and attends the ordinals conference in the same
   +episode.[^comfortable-maximalism] Both positions are held sincerely and neither is
   +retracted.
