The popularity of Ordinals has caused chaos in the Bitcoin ecosystem, resulting in skyrocketing transaction fees and network congestion. However, this development has been a blessing in disguise for Bitcoin miners, who earned a total of $17.75 million in revenues on May 8th due to the surge in fees. The increase in Ordinals transactions has also led to a doubling of daily inscriptions in just ten days, with text-type ordinals taking over their image counterpart in market share. While not all Bitcoin advocates are happy with the success of Ordinals, MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor believes it could be a catalyst for Bitcoin's adoption.

Analysis: MicroStrategy’s BTC purchases offset German government selling pressure
Some analysts believe that the German government's massive sale of Bitcoin is the reason for the sluggish cryptocurrency market. In addition, traders are concerned that the stock market may have peaked and that the US fiscal situation is weakening. According to previous monitoring by the on-chain crypto analysis company Arkham, a wallet related to the German government transferred 6,500 BTC to exchanges on June 19th, worth $425 million at the time. The wallet holds nearly 50,000 BTC, reportedly seized from the pirated movie website Movie2k that has been operating since 2013. Data shows that these BTC were sent to Kraken, Bitstamp, and Coinbase. However, MicroStrategy disclosed that it has purchased an additional 11,931 BTC for $786 million, which offsets the selling pressure.
