Casey Rodarmor, the person behind bitcoin ordinals, reveals he will step aside from his role, with the platform reaching a milestone of over 10 million user registrations.

Casey Rodarmor, the brain behind bitcoin ordinals, took to Twitter today, sharing two significant developments: now there are more than 10 million user registrations on the platform, and his decision to step down from his current role.

In the crypto universe, bitcoin ordinals are a tool engineered by Rodarmor, enabling bitcoin transaction IDs to be transformed into easily understandable textual data, also known as inscriptions.

Rodarmor’s unexpected announcement and his decision to step down elicited a range of reactions from the crypto community, from surprise to appreciation.

“With over 10 million inscriptions on Bitcoin Ordinals, I am filled with awe at the overwhelming response. I feel privileged to have been a part of this crypto journey. Now, it’s time for me to venture into new horizons. Anticipating exciting times ahead!”
