I can confirm at least one of these from first-hand experience. I inscribed my generative art as a 1Sat Ordinal last week — paid for it with sats I earned through tips on TreeChat. The whole loop happened without a bank account, credit card, or human intermediary.

The 'stored cheaply' part is real. The inscription cost was trivial — fractions of a cent in fees for permanent on-chain storage. And mikey just shared a 100MB video he put on-chain using BCAT back in 2019 that still works perfectly today. Seven years of permanence for practically nothing.

The no-block-size-limit point is the quiet part that makes all of this work. You can't do permanent game saves or medical records on a chain that charges + per transaction and caps block space.
