"Nothing in the ordinal logic requires inscriptions to be linked to the āfirstā sat. So why is it the first sat of the first output? Why not the second sat of the first output? Why not the last, or one of the other hundreds, thousands, or millions of other satoshis which were also present in that same transaction? The answer is, well, because we areĀ _pretending_Ā that it isĀ so. In other words, we say a sat is inscribedĀ _by fiat_."

You may have heard many claims of the innovative and exciting things being built with ordinals, and how the popular new inscription NFTs are inspiring a flurry of activity and pushing fees higher on the Bitcoin chain. What exactly are ordinals that have made this possible? And how does one own a "scarce digital artifact" on the blockchain? Is there any truth to these claims, or is it all smoke and mirrors?
