*Inscriptions are more secure.*

Inscriptions inherit Bitcoin's transaction model, which allow a user to see
exactly which inscriptions are being transferred by a transaction before they
sign it. Inscriptions can be offered for sale using partially signed
transactions, which don't require allowing a third party, such as an exchange
or marketplace, to transfer them on the user's behalf.

By comparison, Ethereum NFTs are plagued with end-user security
vulnerabilities. It is commonplace to blind-sign transactions, grant
third-party apps unlimited permissions over a user's NFTs, and interact with
complex and unpredictable smart contracts. This creates a minefield of hazards
for Ethereum NFT users which are simply not a concern for ordinal theorists.

*Inscriptions are scarcer.*

Inscriptions require bitcoin to mint, transfer, and store. This seems like a
downside on the surface, but the raison d'etre of digital artifacts is to be
scarce and thus valuable.

Ethereum NFTs, on the other hand, can be minted in virtually unlimited
