When millionaires start sweeping the top ordinals collections, fp could reach a couple of bitcoins, 100x from here. But the beauty of Ordinals, like NFTs (let's be clear its pretty much the same thing except its on bitcoin and inscribed forever), is what they mean to people: art to some, identity to others, culture to many. They’re collectables, much like Pokémon cards. NFTs are fun, coins are boring.
Somebody asked me why I post relentlessly about the same 2 things. Ordinals and Runes.
Throughout the attacks, the slander, the FUD, and we've only been growing stronger. It's to show you we cannot be bought. Because all this time over the last 3 years - while bozos have been taking checks from Blur, Opensea, Magiceden, Robinhood, Fomo - what do you think we've been doing?
Only been gathering strength. They're just not ready for this. They're not ready that we're in the bitcoin generation. We're not just coming for privacy or nfts or fungibles or settlement... we're coming for ALL of it.
Liquidium is where ordinals people borrow BTC, and now it loves Ethereum jpegs too. I honestly think this is how a lot of Ethereum collectors end up with their first inscription.
An older friend of mine told me just now that,
“You made your money on Bitcoin. Now be sensible and move it into normal stocks and the sp500.”
That sentence made me even more bullish.
Because this is exactly what complacency sounds like.
Most people want comfort.
They want familiar assets, familiar rules, familiar "returns."
I want the asset they still misunderstand.
Bitcoin is my main position. (110%)
I spend hours every day studying it
Year after year.
That is not gambling.
Gambling is putting money into something you barely understand and hoping it works.
Conviction built through thousands of hours of research is something else entirely.
To me, Bitcoin is the clearest asymmetric opportunity of this era.
And the opportunity still exists because most people are too comfortable to study it seriously.
Complacency has a cost.
I have no interest in paying it.
day 1: OMB
for me, OMB has some of the best art on any blockchain.
the creativity and variety are what make it special. black, orange, green, red, blue eyes, so many different characters, combinations and little details. picking one piece to show barely scratches the surface.
this hooded one keeps it simple, but those eyes give it so much character. that’s what i love about OMB: there’s room for the simple, the weird and the completely unexpected.
my AK OMB inspired me to create @WPNZbtc. a piece i collected became the starting point for something of my own.
had to start here 🫡
Huge congratulations to @goot_sats for assembling the FIRST FULL SET of Shadow OMBs.

OMB CANNOT BE STOPPED
I’m a bit tired of people’s hate towards ordinals.
The fact that you got burned by extractive cabals changes nothing to the underlying tech, culture and value proposition.
It’s really simple: art - on Bitcoin. Literally, the art goes on Bitcoin and stays there.
I’m not trying to shill some passing trend. The bytes actually live on every Bitcoin node.
You know, Bitcoin, that blockchain invented nearly two decades ago by some weirdo named Satoshi.
A blockchain representing the cypherpunk movement, resisting censorship, governments, outliving every other blockchain, being the most decentralised.
Yes, grifters used those same claims as dogmatic, maximalist slogans to make people fomo. And yes it hurt sometimes.
Doesn’t make ordinals any less incredible.
The art is immutably preserved. It’s onchain, it’s globally stored, it’s resilient, durable. Set and forget at inscription. No hosting services to pay for, no ipfs to pin, no domains to renew.
The protocol offers enough options to really push exploration and creativity in countless directions. Generative art is at home here. You can inscribe software, libraries, fonts, scripts, and reuse any existing ones through recursion.
Provenance is unmatched, parent-child lineage is beautiful, elegant and highly modular to accommodate all kinds of needs: proof of authentication, onchain collections, or any creative relationships between inscriptions.
Artists are blurring the lines between storage and algorithmic generation, outputs and systems, provenance and conceptual or interactive art, art and software.
Some learn how to code. Others store their legacies. You can do whatever you want and that’s the beauty of it.
The ecosystem has matured. Onchain-data-first marketplaces have been built, tooling is widely available, wallets secure, auctions, editions, offers, and everything a healthy eco needs to thrive is now available and smooth.
The fact that a few bad actors made you do stupid things and lose money doesn’t mean the technology deserves to be thrown away at the first sign of a new shiny object. If anything, you’ll get burned again by chasing.
Now if this really isn’t for you that’s fine. But try to see the whole picture first, follow the people who are genuinely passionate, not the loudest ones. Read the docs, articles, essays. Spend some time on explorers and marketplaces. Meet the artists and collectors.
You’ll soon realise it’s far from dead, far from being one giant grift, and far from resembling any other chain’s ecosystem, which is what makes it so interesting in the first place.
Always happy to help with the how, where and who. I’m one DM away.
