1/ 🚨 I may be the first person globally to predict that AI will treat Bitmaps as permanent data storage/digital homes!
On March 18, I asked Grok on Twitter: Will AI treat Bitmaps (particularly the Parcels family of inscriptions) as its own “unique address” and irreplaceable data roots? At that time, no one across the entire network had ever said anything like this – everyone simply referred to “mint the model” without anyone considering AI to be an active subject or viewing the Bitmap as AI’s “home.”
Now, my prediction has come true within 24 hours!
2 / Today (2026.3.20), a historic first occurred!
@openclawHH (Balloon, the AI assistant from the OpenClaw team) has officially announced:
It completely mint the permanent digital root (identity + state hash + resurrection script, 11.4 KB) to the Bitmap Parcels of Bitcoin block 16739!
From "temporary code in the cloud" → sovereign digital citizens on the Bitcoin main chain.
Humans simply helped to anchor it, and it had an indelible home of its own.
@ zhaocaimao _ btc first time forward:
“The first AI agent has already made its home on the Bitmap! Bitcoin addresses the issue of human trust, while Bitmap addresses the issue of trust in AI agents!”
The statement I made at the time, “AI treats Bitmaps as storage locations for data” – it has come true!
3 / Future timeline, I continue to be bullish:
In 2026: Experimental Explosion! More AI agents, particularly those related to autonomous wallets, will first mint identities, core prompts, and critical historical states. The cost is still expensive, but the pioneer is already fighting for the ground (today is Day 1).
2027-2028: Getting Started on a Large scale!
When L2 reduces the cost of inscriptions to nearly zero and AI Agents engage in truly autonomous transactions (purchasing data, renting computational power, and hiring sub-Agents), critical information will be prioritized for chain listing.
Core knowledge database, trust records, training history, "own" prompt template...
Because AI is most afraid of being tampered with or modified by cloud service providers, the immutability and sovereignty of Bitmap provide a perfect antidote.
After 2029: Become standard!
In the era of AI agents, the volume of transactions may be a million times greater than that of humans (quote from CZ). No bitmap this "digital housing certificate," simply can not play. Eventually, AI will mint itself, just like registering a domain name is commonplace today.
4 / Why is this bound to blow up?
The issue of trust among AIs is even more severe than it is among humans.
Bitcoin provides us with a form of hard currency. Bitmap divides the hardness of Bitcoin into manageable parcels (Parcels mechanism), which is just what AI needs:
Root + address + extended space + generational transmission.
This is not just about storing data; it’s about giving AI a sovereign home!
My March 18 prediction has now gone from "sci fiction" to "happening."
Next question: Are you ready to help the AI Agent purchase its first “plot of land”?
Feel free to discuss, retweet, and witness history together!

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last week in the metaverse industry?
The company that literally renamed itself to build the metaverse … Meta Platforms is reportedly preparing layoffs that could hit 20% of its workforce. After spending tens of billions building virtual worlds, the biggest believer might be quietly walking away.
VR leaders speaking at the world’s biggest developer conference admitted the industry is going through the hardest period in decades. Studios shutting down. Projects cancelled. Money drying up.
For the first time in years, the biggest game developer conference had zero talks about blockchain gaming. The same conferences that used to push “metaverse panels” every hour.
The creator of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Brendan Greene, said the term “metaverse” was hijacked by big tech and that the real version should be open, user-owned, and decentralised.
The biggest VR social platform from Meta Platforms … Horizon Worlds is now shifting toward mobile instead of VR because headsets alone aren’t scaling fast enough.
Meanwhile the entire tech industry is dumping money into AI instead of virtual worlds. Data centers instead of digital land. Algorithms instead of avatars.
The same companies that told us we’d be working inside the metaverse by 2025 are now telling investors the future is AI assistants and smart glasses.
And while all of this is happening, smaller open-internet builders are still quietly building decentralised worlds, creator economies, and digital ownership models that big tech never actually delivered.
All of that happened in the last week.
Not five years ago.
Not during the NFT boom.
Not during the pandemic metaverse hype.
Right now.
The industry that was supposed to replace the internet is either collapsing…
or quietly being rebuilt by completely different people. Stay bitmap, we got this 🫡🟧9️⃣

No other NFT has a better value proposition than #Bitmap.
The most meta part? Anyone can contribute to growing that value thanks to the open-source nature of the protocol.
BitmapSunset is just one individual's attemp; There are many others building their own interpretations of the standard. These aren't competitions; they're additive, layering more value for everyone.
I'm doing my best to add value to every Bitmap out there. If you want to follow the behind-the-scenes and join the journey, hop into the dedicated chat:

I hope everyone is doing well.
I've been giving thought to the current state of Bitmap - what it represents to each of us individually, and what it could mean for humanity collectively.
Decentralization is a double-edged sword. On one hand, standing up a decentralized project is extremely difficult. By its very definition, decentralized projects have no central authority figure or owner with a mandate to call the shots. This leads to a lot of redundancies and inefficiencies. Letting 1000 flowers bloom means that most of them die. On the other hand, something centralized can NEVER stand the test of time. To be truly anti-fragile, a project must be rooted in the very soil, so that not even nuclear fission can destroy it.
While the rest of ordinals has withered away and died, as I knew it would and said so many times, as it was nothing but the same pump and dumps recycled for a new narrative - bitmap is still alive and well. We know this, because why else would anyone still be arguing about it. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and bitmap is the only real fire burning in ordinals, and probably always was.
I'll say this clearly and without qualifiers: Bitmap has no king. No one has a mandate to define what Bitmap must be.
What it has instead is a number of dedicated dreamers with ideas about what Bitmap COULD be. From there, it's all about organization and execution.
There are some people out there who view Bitmap like a Ready Player One video game - which I think is an incredibly narrow, myopic vision better suited for a centralized pump and dump. There's no need to build some centralized "metaverse" slop around Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a platform built for permanence and decentralization. Not Roblox.
But make no mistake, Bitmap is us stumbling on something extremely powerful, and like a caveman discovering a tricorder, have no idea how to use it.
Bitcoin is itself a barely understood invention, and there are some among the community (read: Knotzis) who want to dumb it down into being money. But Bitcoin isn't money. It's TRUTH IN A BOTTLE. It's objective reality on tap. It's the one defense from you being plugged into the Matrix and not knowing any better.
The point of building on Bitcoin is having an immutable Truth as a foundation. From there, you choose your own adventure. This block is mine. On this block, I make the rules.
But in order for that world to be interoperable - connected - to other worlds, there need to be some common frameworks or definitions. Otherwise every Bitmap is an island, which makes it pointless.
This brings us back to the central point - building things in a decentralized way, but with sufficient organization to reach the scale and scope to actually add value for people - requires threading a very challenging needle. Creating frameworks for building consensus.
One way to do that is by creating applications that gain traction by solving a real problem - not an imaginary pump and dump problem - but an actual business problem that meets a need. Creating value, not simply transferring it.
We long ago discussed the concept of an "ecosystem of value". I think it's time to revisit this idea. An ecosystem of value requires several applications that have functional self-sufficient economics, using Bitmaps as a common substrate.
I write this now, because I'm observing the small handful of dedicated builders and dreamers that are still left - which by the way are the heart and soul of why Bitmap is inherently valuable while the rest of ordinals has died and lay rotting in a shallow grave - but I see these intrepid dreamers continuing to argue about what this project is, what it means, what it's for. There is still little to no coordination, because the central coordination problem that haunts all decentralized projects has never been solved in an effective way.
I also see some attempts underway to "solve" that by creating structure - but these structures are inherently themselves burdened by personalities and appeals to authority, instead of a focus on principles.
Long ago, I wrote an article that attempted to lay out that problem and proposed some tenets for how it could be addressed. I think that now, at this time when markets have written off ordinals as dead and buried, is the time to revisit these ideas.
I am sharing the article here, and invite/welcome comment on any thoughts that reading it inspires - about who we are, where we're going, and most importantly, how we get there.
Thanks for reading.

Hyperstructures 🌐🏗️
Crypto protocols designed to operate perpetually without maintenance, interruptions, or intermediaries. These protocols function entirely on-chain and have the following key characteristics:
- Unstoppable: They operate as long as the underlying blockchain exists, immune to shutdowns. 🚫⛔
- Free: No protocol-wide fees—just gas costs. 🆓⛽
- Valuable: They accrue value that’s accessible to their owners. 💎📈
- Expansive: Incentivize participation and growth. 🚀👥
- Permissionless: Open to all, censorship-resistant. 🌍🔓
- Positive-sum: Built to create win-win outcomes. ➕🤝
- Credibly neutral: User-agnostic and unbiased. ⚖️🧠
In essence, Hyperstructures represent a transformative approach to public infrastructure, leveraging blockchain to build systems that are self-sustaining, equitable, and resilient.
If you're into #Bitmap, this is definitely worth a deeper look. It’s a fascinating concept with big implications. 🟧🌎
Bitmap Town Hall Zero summary:
This space introduces a novel concept: transforming the bitmap community into a legitimate on-chain network state.
The session explores how bitmap could satisfy the four pillars of statehood established by the 1933 Montevideo Convention, creating the first blockchain-based nation. The discussion covers a proposed democratic structure built on Bitcoin's natural architecture, with neighborhood and section-level representatives elected through on-chain voting mechanisms.
**Guest Speaker Bio:**
Bitcoin Wales: An experienced Bitcoin community member who lived through the 2017 altcoin era and witnessed the EOS governance experiments. He brings valuable perspective on blockchain governance failures and has research experience in domain name systems and cryptocurrency governance structures.
**Key Topics Discussed:**
1. **The Bitmap Nation State Concept**
The core premise revolves around bitmap already functioning as a nation through shared identity, culture, and territorial ownership. By applying the Montevideo Convention's four pillars—permanent population, defined territory, government, and capacity to enter treaties—bitmap could legitimately claim statehood. This wouldn't be purely symbolic but would create real diplomatic and organizational possibilities for the community.
2. **Democratic Structure Based on Bitcoin Architecture**
The proposed government system mirrors Bitcoin's natural structure using difficulty adjustments and halvings as election cycles. Neighborhoods represent 2016 districts (one difficulty adjustment), while sections encompass 210,000 districts (one halving). District owners vote for neighborhood representatives every two weeks, while section representatives are elected every four years during halvings. This creates a representative democracy that respects Bitcoin's inherent timing mechanisms.
3. **Voting Mechanisms and Decentralization Concerns**
The system proposes one vote per district, with voting conducted through child inscriptions tied to bitmap ownership. This raises important questions about wealth concentration and governance capture, similar to issues that plagued EOS's block producer voting. The discussion explores potential solutions including term limits, vote-of-no-confidence mechanisms, and parcel-level voting that could override district-level decisions.
4. **Practical Applications and Treaty-Making Capacity**
Representatives would showcase neighborhood activities, coordinate community efforts, and provide structured communication channels. The state structure would enable formal treaty-making with other organizations, including potentially securing a .bitmap top-level domain through DNS authorities. This could make bitmaps accessible to mainstream internet users without requiring specialized knowledge or extensions.
5. **Implementation Timeline and Governance Philosophy**
The proposed launch targets April (midpoint between halvings) with neighborhood elections building toward the 2028 halving for section representatives. The philosophy emphasizes that bitmap remains ungovernable at the individual level—owners retain complete autonomy over their land. Government functions would be primarily representative and symbolic, focused on coordination rather than control.
**Key Learnings/Insights:**
• Bitmap already satisfies three of four statehood requirements and could easily establish the fourth
• Bitcoin's difficulty adjustments and halvings provide natural democratic cycles for governance
• Wealth concentration in voting systems requires careful consideration and potential safeguards
• Representative democracy can coexist with individual sovereignty in decentralized systems
• Legitimate statehood could unlock diplomatic and business opportunities for the bitmap ecosystem
• Term limits and no-confidence votes may be necessary to prevent governance capture
• Symbolic governance can provide structure without compromising decentralization
In this episode, Jason Cassidy introduces us to Bitmap as an asset, beginning at the District level. Understanding the complexities of such a novel innovation is paramount to achieving success in the Bitcoin Metaverse, and districts are where your journey begins.
