Recently, the forgotten cursed inscription has returned to public view.
On November 14, the founder of the Ordinals protocol stated on Twitter that the Ordinals protocol officials are considering a Jubilee at the Bitcoin mainnet block height 820512, which is almost 26 days later.
This just echoes the fact that Casey, the founder of Ordinals, launched a new proposal The Jubilee #2495 on github in October, saying that the curse inscription will be repaired in one month, which means that there will be no new curse inscription in the BTC ecosystem from now on. At the same time, this also gives the cursed inscription room for speculation.
What is a cursed inscription?
Cursed Inscriptions (Cursed Inscriptions) were caused by a BUG before the Ordinals protocol, resulting in some inscriptions not being recognized by the indexer. Therefore, the Ordinals team decided to assign these cursed inscriptions to negative values, counting down from 0, so they are also called Negative inscription.
In short, curse inscriptions are somewhat similar to misprinted banknotes. They are circulated in the world due to printing errors, but they are genuine. Because of their rarity, they are often hyped to a price that far exceeds their own value. The logic is similar.
If the cursed inscription goes out of print, scarcity will inevitably increase again, which will also cause inscription enthusiasts to fall into FOMO, trying to find investment and speculation opportunities.

In terms of token investment targets, SeaTalk manager 0x Sea analyzed that there are two main targets:
-Crsd is the first token with a total amount of 21 million. The mint was completed on May 25. However, because the ord development team has not perfected the index, it has been unable to trade.
-Tap, the total amount is also 21 million. It was completed in August. Now it has a certain price, circulation and community consensus basis. It is also the first coin of Tap Protocol (BRC-20 Improved Protocol).
Tap Protocol was launched by the Trac team on August 7. It is also an improved and enhanced protocol based on Ordinals, and is functionally seamlessly compatible with BRC-20.
It is worth noting that Tap and -Tap are both native tokens based on the Tap protocol. Among them, Tap was locked up by the official once and has no circulation; -Tap was opened to the community for mint, with a total of 21,000,000 pieces (that is, 21,000 pieces). The cursed version (-Tap) is deployed 30 minutes earlier than the positive Tap. It is the real first native token. The Tap currently discussed in the community is actually -Tap.
Unisat is not yet compatible with Cursed Inscriptions, and tokens on the Tap protocol cannot be traded, so do not go to Unisat to buy $Tap.
