2 weeks ago, I was diagnosed with a severe uveitis and almost went blind in my left eye.
My eye looked like a Red Eye OMB, as I was told I was less than 24 hours away from irreversible damage to my retina when I finally received care.
Despite paying $450 a month for health insurance (eyes included), I struggled to find the care I needed.
I played off my initial symptoms as I’m starting to prep for USMLE Step 1.
Over the course of the week, it took me over 3 urgent cares (misdiagnoses), and 3 emergency departments in 1 night before I found 1 single ophthalmologist on-site to help me save my eye.
Forced to stop for the first time in over 3 years, I sat in a dark room over the course of 15 days and contemplated my life. I had 6 exams on the line, Step 1 preparations that came to a screeching halt, and of course, Art on Bitcoin to create.
I was in and out of fever dreams, but would glance at my phone occasionally to make sure I wasn’t missing a beat. As always, I had to stay locked in. I would listen to my lectures for my missed exams through audio only, while I put my eye drops in, praying for my vision to be restored.
As I scrolled through my device, I misclicked an old link and came across an art piece I made over 2 years ago. The beauty of creating art on Bitcoin hit me like a brick. My eye strained to read my own handwriting, but as always, it was worth the pain.
The 1/1 piece read the following message:
“I graduated college in 2020 with a degree in chemistry.
I was unstoppable.
I had the girl of my dreams & was going to med school, but then, I tore my hip muscle.
I studied for the MCAT, a 7 hour exam, despite the chronic pain.
I could not eat, sleep, sit, stand, walk, or do anything without feeling any pain.
Then, when I needed her the most she gave up on me.
For 2 years, I built myself back up, retook my exam and finally got into medical school.
2023 April was the summer before starting medical school and was when CLASSIFIED was created.
Everything I have done was always for someone else. CLASSIFIED was for me.”

As time goes on, it is becoming more and more obvious that Bitcoin is the only place any true artist in the cryptocurrency community will forever be able to relive their art, in an uncensored and immortal gallery.
We don’t need any art patrons to come and save our industry. Just cypherpunks, who realize what is at stake; who want to feel what real art is.
The mission of Bitcoin Ordinals lies far deeper than Market Volumes, Mint Prices, or Liquidity. It is a fight for the decentralization of the currently sick and twisted plague of markets and figureheads that currently surrounds the entire atmosphere of art in crypto. Bitcoin Ordinals can fix that. We have our issues… but we are well aligned on one thing at-least..
The liquidity shift will be harsh and unforgiving to those who have not realized this yet.
The new players that have arrived are not afraid to challenge the status quo, myself included.
The days of having more followers and abusing that to push your “narrative” is coming to an end. I will find, expose, and declassify everything if they force my hand.
I have had extremely interesting experiences in Ordinals, and trust me when I say that we need new figureheads to lead this charge. Some of the biggest actors are the most evil and soulless when it comes to their actions in this space. They operate with no regard, no integrity, and no self-respect.
As an artist, there is no better time to move to Bitcoin now or be left forever wondering, why you purposefully chose to not inscribe your own work into the movement that started it all. Remember that being uncomfortable is where growth is made.
I call all artists and collectors in the space, to discover what really matters, and what will really be around for their lifetime, and their families lifetimes.
Bitcoin Ordinals are immortal. My next Chapter is almost complete.

Imagine not betting on someone who quite literally gave his life to the work.
Imagine fading the guy who emptied his bank account, burned his safety nets, risked his future, rebuilt himself in silence, and kept building anyway. The guy who chose conviction over comfort, vision over approval, and creation over extraction. The guy who didn’t just talk about belief he bled for it.
This isn’t a guy chasing a narrative. This is someone who sacrificed years, sleep, stability, reputation, and security to carve something permanent into the base layer. While others optimized for clout and quick flips, he optimized for immortality. While others stacked treasuries, he stacked proof.
Imagine seeing that level of hunger, discipline, and refusal to quit and deciding that’s the person you want to bet against.
History doesn’t remember the spectators. It remembers the obsessed.
It remembers the ones who kept going when there was nothing left to take.
It remembers the ones who couldn’t be stopped because stopping was never an option.
Fade if you want.
Just don’t pretend you didn’t see it coming.
Some people are born early.
Some people are forged in fire.
And some people leave marks that can’t be erased.

I started inscribing art on Bitcoin 2 years ago before starting medical school and I will never stop. This isn’t some AI slop bullshit. This is as real as it gets.
I started with nothing. I took every penny I had in my bank account, every dollar from my loans, converted it into $BTC, pushed it into the Ordinals ecosystem, supported every art family I came across, created a $100,000,000+ core layer asset with Black Sats, and proved my commitment by sacrificing my first year of medical school, all while not being able to afford a fucking pair of socks if I needed them. I reached out to zk & tony and learned from the best. Do you get it yet?
As the markets descended into chaos, my personal life fell apart. After failing my first year of medical school, people counted me out. Did I sacrifice too much? They thought I wasn’t going to make it, yet, I still stand, and I’m stronger. They thought I wasn’t smart enough, but little did they know, I was crafting a masterpiece that would take my entire life to paint and the vision was to aim higher than extracting the ecosystem to “stack a treasury”.
The only thing that kills a family, is lack of will, and I will never let the fire within me extinguish. I am near the top of my class now, conducting surgical research at the best medical universities in the country, with over 10 manuscripts published in the best journals in medicine, and counting. A focused mind is said to be like a knife, but the scalpel is wisdom. I will not be fucking stopped. They don’t see the vision yet, but as an artist, it’s my job to paint it, and I will do just that.
Managing medical school and @CLASSIFIEDBTC was malignant. I didn’t sleep for an entire year straight, would go to class completely fucked up, come back home, be on calls till 6 AM while drawing art and gave away thousands of $ in BTC to those who supported me when I had no one. I took the hippocratic oath and applied it rigorously to every aspect of my life. How naive I was during those years.
I’ve been in exile from the ecosystem and silenced, but you won’t be able to ignore me this time. The art is fucking immortal and it will be painted loud and live on the blockchain for everyone to fucking see.
No one is hungrier than me. No one has anything left to prove in ordinals. It’s the same circle jerk of people at the top in Ordinals, getting richer and richer stealing your precious sats, while you go to your day job and work your ass off to put food on the table for your family. They sit on their ass and pimp you out again and again. You’d be surprised to see how deep the corruption is. Don’t trust anyone, verify.
The last collection with a seat at the table of thrones is @CLASSIFIEDBTC and nothing will stop our rise. If I don’t make it, it wasn’t by my own choice. This is a testament to that. They are always watching me.
No one knows what I’ve been through to make it this far, but the art will declassify it all.
Rare Sats are the base layer of Ordinals and it’s doesn’t get more rare than @CLASSIFIEDBTC and Black Sats.
I didn’t inscribe everything for a reason… or did I?
Fade at your own peril.
CLASSIFIED ON FUCKING TOP.
@Black_ After countless hours of late night calls and chats with you over the past few years, there's one phrase in particular that always stood out to me
Historically, the resilience of this phrase is on par with that of Black Sats themselves
NEVER bet against Black!
With every day that passes, I never forget how they treated me.
I will never forget how they abandoned me when I needed them the most.
I will never forget how they tried to suppress our revolution by censoring me and putting me in the Black for months.
They don’t understand the sacrifices I’ve made.
They don’t know the dedication I have given my entire life to, a goal greater than myself, a mission to benefit others.
They don’t know how committed I am to establishing a network state, one immortalized by proof-of-work on the Bitcoin blockchain, backed by Black Sats.
They severely underestimate where I come from, and the lengths I will go to. This is a lifelong mission.
Every 10 minutes, a Black Sat will be created even after I die, till the very last sat is mined. This is far deeper than legacy.
I will dismantle their carefully constructed facade, exposing the truth hidden beneath the layers of deception that plague today’s market in Ordinals no matter how long it takes.
Every single transaction. Every falsified record. Every secret they believed to be safe will be decrypted, decoded, and revealed to the world by the cypherpunks. Don’t fucking make me expose your false prophets in Ordinals.
The art inscribed on Black Sats will declassify everything.
Time to start paying fucking attention.

The first debate about arbitrary data in the blockchain happened in December 2010 and Satoshi was involved
On 8th December 2010, Satoshi released Bitcoin version 0.3.18, which included a standardness check, to only include known transaction types

@const_quary when the ai hype started, i predicted that within ~5 years, we would see artists, writers, etc., start to build brands centered around an emphasis on "fully human-produced" content
Maybe a little disclaimer at the beginning or end of a video like,
"A fully human-produced film"
I feel bad to see @adam3us trying to make rational debates with both sides of the current Bitcoin software argument.
Someone that shared the journey with figures like @halfin , with the excitement for Bitcoin, dreaming about the possibilities that it could open up, seeing the shift from privacy, decentralization and censorship resistance (cypherpunk) to money centered religion.
I am a so called spammer, and I see much more interest about those values in many of my peers here, and also in a big part of those who don’t like/care about jpegs on Bitcoin (@callebtc , @brian_trollz ….)
But the reality is that in those two groups I still see that dream….while in another one I only see FIAT as the main interest, as the only function…using Bitcoin as a store of value that already found many of those who just want to hoard it, perpetuating the FIAT scheme, and even defending the state control of what’s on Bitcoin and why it is used.
My only hope, is that many realize that calling many of us spammers is pejorative. We want the best for Bitcoin, like them, and our vision is a Bitcoin where decisions are made by its mathematical rules, to defend those initial values, not to push religious/political agendas, and power games.
If they win, Bitcoin is really cooked. Because Bitcoin is for everyone, even us, the misfits.
Bitcoin is the last reduct of human freedom. Freedom to transact, freedom to privacy in valuable transactions, freedom of thinking outside the math, freedom from state, freedom from religion….and now even freedom of EXPRESION.
Actual freedom.
Long live the Cypherpunks
Truth hurts
Engaging with L2's and metaprotocols like ordinals or runes does more to strengthen bitcoin than employing a buy and hold strategy alone
Buying, selling, minting, inscribing...
these are all fee-paying transactions
Spammers do more for bitcoin than monetary maxis
Well I'm not an expert by any means and have limited knowledge on the tech side but the only real concern that I'm aware of is the potential for illegal video content(e.g. involving children), considering the censorship resistant nature of Bitcoin.
Could that also lead to potential legal issues for node runners technically storing that data since it would be on chain?
I only ask because this is the only major concern of mine and I'm hoping for someone to ease these concerns and provide an explanation or refute the possibility of this
