The Rise of the Shitcoiners
In the year 2008, the world had no idea that come November, a techie named Satoshi Nakamoto would send an email to a cryptography mailing list that would change the world as we knew it: "I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party," he wrote.
The paper is still available at https://t.co/yPXt5UOL3k
Enter Caos, a designer like so many others, trying to make a living from his art. Financially, things weren't going great, so he decided to use his savings to buy a new monitor and upgrade his setup, hoping to turn his passion into a career. Caos was a branding specialist but had the skills to work in various design styles.
He visited a local store (yes, people still shopped physically back then, lol) and chose a Samsung monitor. Excited to have this new tool, he brought it home, eager to create.
But when Caos turned on the monitor, ready to dive into his work, his attention was entirely stolen by something in the bottom right corner of the screen. A small, pink pixel.
Frustrated, he returned to the store, seeking an exchange or refund, only to discover that a "few" dead pixels don't qualify as a monitor defect.
Can you imagine how maddening it is for a designer to have a pink pixel in the corner of their screen? It would be impossible to see anything else.
Caos returned home, angry, but as he stared at the pixel, his creativity began to take hold. High? Mmmaybe.
That pink pixel transformed into a face in his imagination, giving birth to countless variations he called the "Pixel Rosa Family" (Pink Pixel Family) on a Sunday morning.
For 16 years, that Corel file remained hidden on an old hard drive until this year, when we stumbled upon it in an unexpected place while searching for an old contract we had signed with our IRL company.
I've never believed in coincidences. Have you?
We started discussing how much they reminded us of CryptoPunks and how crazy it was that Caos had created this artwork a full 9 years before they even existed.
Eager to be part of the Bitcoin Ordinals movement, Caos used that very file as our foundation and began generating what we all know as traits. Then we created thousands of variations, which we've come to call Shitcoiners.
In the Shitcoiners, we see ourselves – a community of misfits, rebels, and dreamers, united by our shared passion for art, technology, and the boundless potential of human creativity. And, ok, maybe we're gamblers too.
