If Osura are teasing what I THINK they’re teasing, then the Ordinals community might be about to have a collective AHAAAA moment! 👀

This would be HUGE for Art on Bitcoin! 🔥

WHY OMB IS THE CRYPTOPUNKS OF BITCOIN

- Launched March 12, 2023. One of the earliest major collections after Casey Rodarmor dropped the Ordinals protocol in January 2023.

- Created by ZK Shark. OGs may remember zk as the ex-Wall Street alpha hunter who left DeGods. He teamed up with irl artist Tony Tafuro and rare-sats hunter/developer Nullish. With Nullish, they helped establish the narrative that art belongs on Bitcoin, as well as the value of rare sats.

- Every OMB is a true 1/1 hand-drawn sketch. There's real value and proof of work in non-generative art. Black-and-white backdrops against Bitcoin-maximalist traits with color eyes feature historical moments, ₿ symbols, slogans like “Not your keys, not your crypto”, and more. There are also prized traits like miners, shadows, zombies, and hoodies. It's one of those rare collections where there's something for everyone, and you can browse it for hours and always find something new.

- Eye-color traits are on-chain and tied to historic Bitcoin blocks. Green eyes are on Block 9 sats (mined by Satoshi), and Blue eyes are on Block 78 sats (mined by Hal Finney). They've been inscribed on the rarest early sats, and are the first artworks ever inscribed on Block 9 and Block 78 sats.

- First Bitcoin Ordinals auction in Christie’s history (April 2024). Four primary-market lots curated by ZK Shark were sold for $730,800. It marked the first time the auction house ever sold Bitcoin inscriptions.

- Fast numbers. Supply: 8,898. Held by 5,115 owners. Total volume: 2,381.94 BTC 🤯

- OMB isn't a community. It's been described as a cult and as a movement. Its official slogan, “OMB Cannot Be Stopped," has proven accurate. Holders still pfp their OMB, and many collectors are still proud of what they're holding, which is rare, considering everyone is down bad. But OMB isn't focused on price action, since it works on a cultural level, and its holders are delusionally optimistic about Bitcoin's future, and many holders' core values also align with the Bitcoin ethos.

- Campaigns burned not 1 but 2 CryptoPunks. To show the world that CryptoPunks should live on the god chain, two campaigns in the early days teleburned CryptoPunks and fractionalized them for all participants. The result was a ton of pearl clutching from the punk community, and the campaigns garnered major media coverage.

- Not another art project. Despite what zk wants you to think, OMB is more than an art project. zk helped popularize solo miners and started sending them out to holders to mine Bitcoin. Then he launched Parasite Pool. OMB has also taken out a two-page ad on the New York Times, and has sent out an art book to collectors as well.

- Antifragile. One of the only Ordinals collections repeatedly called “the grail JPEG collection on Bitcoin” by OGs. Positioned as the ideological cornerstone of Bitcoin digital art.

I'm sure I'm not covering everything here. You could write a book about OMB and the early Ordinals period. I've collected dozens of Ordinals collections since then, and OMB still remains my favorite.

Wdyt? Does OMB live up to its reputation?

[A•R•A ꐠ @ARA_onX]

- Two collections

- One on Bitcoin, the other on Ethereum

- Both with same narrative (fiat currency collectibles)

- The one on eth is trading at 4 bucks, regardless of type or rarity

- The one on Bitcoin is trading for $50 or higher depending on rarity

Lessons there.

About 2.5yrs ago, I had the idea to continue part of our lore from our origins as a project before we migrated to BTC, where @ThePand3monium showcased and highlighted the wider artist population through a series of Derivatives based on our collection and theme.

On BTC this would affectionately become a series called "OP_BIRD," a play on OP codes, and a tongue-in-cheek play on OP_CAT which was all the rage at the time in the Ordinals eco.

The OP_BIRD collection, consists of 9 unique derivative recursive editions inspired by the OG Birds of a Feather by TheArtistBTC, which were exclusively claimable by BOAF holders.

Each edition showcases the distinct style of its respective artist: ashishmode's futuristic CyberBird, msergisonmain of borginalprime's tech-infused Pandeborginal, NonnishRonin's mystical Birdstone, Waxbones' chaotic Lord of Bedlam, Megapont's pixel MegaBOAF, DankDadsDrip's eerie KillerBOAF, OGfromHell666's fierce SavageBOAF, TylerFoust's intricate FeatherFoust, and boozybtc's vibrant Boozy of a Feather. Notably, each OP_BIRD was minted in different supplies, ensuring that only a select number of collectors will ever be able to hold all 9 in their collections.

This collection has a provenance gallery (with an Onchain OrdiGallery as its inscription - a little gallery inception).

Find a dive into my thoughts on each release, and tag and give a nod to each artist below. 🧵

Honestly, what makes an NFT project successful?

Is it the art, the hype, the traders, the builders, or the community?

All of these factors are important in taking a project from 0 to 1000X, because they each play their respective roles.

I mean, the hype brings the FOMO🥹 that adrenaline rush that makes everyone want to get a piece which in turn attracts the traders that bring in the volume.

Personally, I think the two most important factors are the builders and the community.

A builder must first believe in his or her project and show up every day, no matter the market conditions. This “can-do” attitude builds and reinforces trust in the community.

One of the people who has shown these attributes is @0itsali0 , the founder of @hollows_nft . He is one of the few people that has added real value to the NFT space.

And when we talk about communities that deserve to be part of the @hollows_nft project, @metafrens will be my first pick. I could go on and on about why Metafrens deserves a spot, but we might not leave here if I do 😅

@Metafrens01 supports builders, and the founder @The_sugargirl is one of the very few art collectors I’ve seen in this space.

Every builder wants to have a successful project, and one of the tested ways to do so is by recognizing worthy communities.

I can proudly say @Metafrens01 is one 🧘🏾‍♀️✨💕
