Debunking the Flat Bitcoin Theory 🧵 In the early days of Bitcoin (2009-2014) there was a massive amount of experimentation and innovation on bitcoin The first NFTs and cryptoart started on Bitcoin The first memecoins started on Bitcoin The first stablecoins and real world assets started on Bitcoin The first dapps started on Bitcoin The first DEX started on Bitcoin The first on-chain governance started on Bitcoin The first crypto degens were playing Satoshi Dice on Bitcoin But then the OP_RETURN wars happened and people like Luke Dashjr vilified innovation and scared builders away resulting in a long period of stagnation (2015-2023) This period of stagnation gave birth to the Flat Bitcoin Theory which infected the minds of nearly everyone The Flat Bitcoin Theory is a belief held by "Flat Bitcoiners" who think that Bitcoin is a boring blockchain that is not capable of the innovative use cases that we see on alt L1s like Ethereum or Solana But thankfully in January 2023 Casey burst onto the scene with the ordinals protocol and one by one people have been waking up from this lie and realizing that Bitcoin is actually multidimensional and capable of everything you could possibly imagine and more Since then Bitcoin has experienced a renaissance of innovation with a new set of builders picking up where the set of OG builders left off Jeremy Lin | 🔄 DotSwap (On Nexus) from DOTSWAP•DOTSWAP - Official has defied all FUD and delivered a trustless liquidity pool style experience on Bitcoin L1 for Runes with zero MEV Stan from Sats Terminal has built an advanced order routing and aggregation engine for Runes trading on Bitcoin L1 Scott 🟠 from radFi has revived the Runes trenches with a token launchpad on Bitcoin L1 that thousands of people use every day Robin from Liquidium | Bitcoin Loans built a Runes and Ordinals lending protocol that has processed hundreds of millions of dollars of volume which proves that DeFi can thrive on Bitcoin L1 domo and Binari from BRC 2.0 and Tagga from Alkanes have been relentlessly pursing a vision for general purpose smart contracts on Bitcoin L1 TO from Pizza Pets built a fully on-chain multiplayer game directly on Bitcoin L1 Ken Liao from built a Bitcoin wallet for interacting with Bitcoin L1 dapps that is so sleek that it puts Ethereum's flagship wallet MetaMask to shame danny huuep from OnChainMonkey® pioneered a new way to store an entire 10K PFP collection on Bitcoin for only $23 that is now widely adopted by hundreds of other Ordinals collections SergeSats has formed the Bitcoin Art Society to preserve Bitcoin's on-chain culture for future generation has dedicated months of his life to ensuring that once a year there is a place where bitcoin builders can gather to celebrate experimentation on bitcoin at Bitcoin Summit Massive decentralized communities like the $DOG Army and Bitcoin Puppets have rallied together to support all of these innovations and champion the Bitcoin ecosystem Do not ever let anyone tell you that Bitcoin is not capable of something or that you must only use Bitcoin in a certain way The Bitcoin network is more secure and robust longterm when it is winning at developer mindshare and blocks are filled with a diverse set of on-chain activity It is up to us, the Ordinals, Runes, and Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem to be stewards of this technology now so go build the most badass applications possible and never stop fighting for innovation on Bitcoin!

📢 $BVM MARCH UPDATES 📢 GM. In Feb, we added these products to the BVM ecosystem: ✅BVM Staking, ✅Bitcoin Stamps, ✅SRC-20 Bridge, ✅Avail, ✅Jackal, ✅Arweave & ✅ IPFS. We're excited to share with the community what we’re shipping next in March. 1. FOUR MORE BITCOIN L2 BLOCKCHAINS BVM’s mission is to scale Bitcoin by powering thousands of Bitcoin L2s. In March, we’ll work with 4 different builders to help them launch their own Bitcoin L2 blockchains and ultimately scale Bitcoin with unlimited throughput and rich user cases. ⛓️ Swamps: DeFi Bitcoin L2 for SRC-20 @swamps_src20 is launching the first-ever Stamps-based Bitcoin L2 blockchain with BVM, designed for SRC-20 DEX. We’re super excited to be working with @0xnovae5Db RMZ 🟨 and the Swamps team. ⛓️ Naka: DeFi Bitcoin L2 for BRC-20/BRC-404 Naka Chain is an Ordinals-based Bitcoin L2 blockchain designed for BRC-20. They just added support for BRC-404. We're excited to work with DeBit | NakaChain.xyz and the Naka team. ⛓️ Satoshi Sync: Bitcoin L2 for Inscription Markets SatoshiSync is building the first chain-agnostic Inscription Protocol with BVM, enabling everyone to launch their own Inscription Market. It’s been a pleasure working with @okubalinska and the Satoshi Sync team. ⛓️ ███████: Bitcoin L2 for ████ This is a big one. We'll share it when it's ready. Super excited to be working on this with ███████ and the ███████ team. Note: If you're thinking about launching your own Bitcoin L2, please DM us. Would love to help! 2. BITCOIN MODULE STORE BVM is a modular Bitcoin L2 infrastructure. The more building blocks, the more developers can build on Bitcoin. This month, we’ll be adding these new modules to the Bitcoin Modular Store. 🧱 Filecoin Filecoin is one of the best decentralized storage networks. Developers can build their Bitcoin L2 and choose Filecoin to store their data. 🧱 Syscoin zkDA Syscoin is a Bitcoin-backed Data Availability layer. It is secured by Bitcoin’s own PoW plus Syscoin’s finality. We think it's a super interesting DA solution. 🧱 BVM-ETH Bridge Ethereum bridge will enable us to flow assets between BVM and Ethereum. You can trade $BVM on Uniswap or bridge ETH to various Bitcoin L2 blockchains powered by BVM. Note: please do make suggestions on which modules we should integrate next! 3. BRC-404 Starting out as a fun weekend experiment, BRC-404 shows us that it could become a promising protocol. $3.5M trading volume so far! 🤯🤯🤯 🎨 Fractionalize Ordinals with BRC-404 The idea is to take an existing Ordinal Inscription and turn it into BRC-404. Then, Ordinals would be much more accessible to many smaller buyers, and at the same time, the collectors would make a lot more on trading fees. That's really the beauty of semi-fungible tokens. You can move between the fungible worlds and the non-fungible worlds. 🔒 ███████ for BRC-404 This product is exciting. We can't quite talk about it yet. But we'll do it when it's ready later this month. 4. COMMUNITY While our product team is busy crunching out code, our community team is building the foundation for our community to thrive in the coming months. 🚀 Setup a home for BVM holders to hang out 🚀 Work on airdrop deals for BVM holders 🚀 List BVM on Coin Market Cap 🚀 List BVM on Gecko Terminal 🚀 List BVM on DEX 🚀 List BVM on CEX This is our plan for March. We hope to get most of it done for the community. See you on #Bitcoin

BITCOIN RAILS #49: The "Cultural Fork" of Bitcoin | with t.j. miller 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: I was introduced to Silicon Valley's t.j. miller a little over a year ago while he was brainstorming how we could potentially inscribe a 4-megger comedy video through MARA Slipstream (shout out to OrdinalsBot ⚡ for the idea). A Bitcoiner since 2018, TJ saw the potential of Ordinals to orange-pill a whole new kind of Bitcoiner — the kind that may realistically be intimidated by (or straight up uninterested in) ivory-tower technical or economic topics. "I talk about cultural adoption and how do we bring Bitcoin into the cultural forefront." Letting me into "his world" for this interview, TJ and I recorded this chat straight from The Stand before his Bitcoin-focused set during Chainlink New York blockchain week [full set forthcoming in the comments]. Shout out to Kelley Weaver Melrose PR Validation Cloud and Bitwire ~ Your news, amplified. for organizing the event. It was a banger 🔥 In this episode, TJ and I jam about: - How TJ was orange-pilled by the Winklevoss twins Cameron Winklevoss Tyler Winklevoss (+ the Michigan twins of course!) - Why TJ's wife, Kate, is a hardcore Bitcoin maxi... despite TJ loving Ethereum and Department of Government Efficiency on the side - How comedy could orange pill the world - And as usual we end with... Brock Pierce. IYKYK. For good measure, we also clear the air on Peter Todd [probably not] being Satoshi. Unsurprisingly, we had an absolute blast and lots of laughs filming this episode. A nice little left turn from my usual technical schtick + some fun personal stories shared from both of our sides. Bitcoin Rails is powered by: — Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) - the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. — Spark (Lightspark) - a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. — Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) - a leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. TIMESTAMPS 📌 00:00 Intro 04:46 Trading and Crypto Misconceptions 08:47 Bitcoin and Early Adopters 17:13 Ethereum and Blockchain Exploration 38:55 NFTs and Artistic Ventures 40:46 The First NFT Comedy Special 41:31 The FTX Collapse and Its Impact 47:28 Ordinals and Bitcoin Utility 51:41 The Ordinals Cultural Fork 53:20 Cultural Adoption of Bitcoin 01:09:06 Bitcoin Comedy and Community

Adam Krellenstein Returns: Counterparty’s Comeback & Bitcoin’s Soul Search [FULL EPISODE] In this episode of the Hell Money Podcast, we sit down with Adam Krellenstein — Counterparty’s co‑founder and longtime lead maintainer — for a tour of Bitcoin’s formative years and the ideas shaping its future. Adam revisits the birth of XCP, explains why he walked away a decade ago, and describes what dragged him back into the codebase. Along the way we tackle the perennial question: What is Bitcoin for? Is embedding data on‑chain an evolutionary feature or a contagion best off‑loaded to sidechains? And if you aren't buying your daily coffee with BTC, has Satoshi’s dream failed, or merely evolved? We explore: - Counterparty’s origin story - Early Bitcoin dev culture - OP_RETURN drama, Blockstream’s sidechain vision & the data‑bloat dilemma - Whether Bitcoin is prepared for sophisticated political actors - Counterparty culture & NFTs - Adam’s decade‑long hiatus: burnout, philosophy of nature & why he’s back - What's next for Bitcoin TIMESTAMPS 0:00 The beginning of Counterparty 17:30 Worse is better development 24:15 Early Bitcoin dev culture 32:05 OP_RETURN & Bitcoin core devs 38:05 Blockstream & sidechains, storing data on Bitcoin 45:15 Bitcoin is unprepared for sophisticated political actors 54:55 Counterparty culture & NFTs 1:00:30 Adam's departure from Counterparty 1:08:00 Philosophy of Nature 1:19:00 Returning to open source development 1:36:00 What's next for Bitcoin?

BITCOIN RAILS #32: Bitcoin Art History (+ why "Pepes aren't NFTs") | with Rare Scrilla 🔗YOUTUBE: 🌿SPOTIFY: There are few people on the planet more deeply entrenched in ‘Bitcoin Art’ than RARE SCRILLA - and few people more influential in its culture and adoption. A key figure in "Rare Pepe" culture, Scrilla pioneered the "Fake Rares" movement, igniting a significant surge in demand for Counterparty assets in late 2021 - nearly eight years after he began recording Bitcoin-inspired hip-hop, influenced by the Silk Road, in 2014. Scrilla has written and recorded multiple Bitcoin-inspired albums, including Sound Money, which became the first original album inscribed on Bitcoin - as well as the first original song on Bitcoin, a sub-1K inscription. From Counterparty, to Pepes, to Ordinals and beyond - Scrilla and I explore the unique history of Bitcoin art culture over the past decade - and the wildly underrated influence of Bitcoin on the development of “NFTs.” This episode pays tribute to: rocktoshi Theo Goodman Ghostface Killah - as well as shout outs to collaborators BG and lyndoco As always, you can view this episode on YouTube or Spotify using the link in my bio. This episode is powered by Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳), the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing — as well as Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋), a leading Bitcoin Rollup technology and contributor to the BitVM alliance.

BITCOIN RAILS #46: BITCOIN MINING IN THE AGE OF AI | with MARA CEO Fred Thiel 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: In response to the AI-driven shock in global demand for computing power, large players in the Bitcoin mining industry have been forced to make significant strategic shifts to remain competitive. MARA — the largest Bitcoin miner in the world by hashrate — is emerging as one of the more well-positioned beneficiaries of these changing tides, having transitioned from an “asset-light” strategy (via hosted mining at third-party facilities) to an “asset-heavy” approach (owning its own land, power, and infrastructure) just ahead of the AI compute wave in 2024/25. I sat down with MARA CEO Fred Thiel to discuss how these shifting industry dynamics are playing out in practice — as well as his perspective on how key mining-related security and infrastructure issues may evolve in the coming months and years. In this episode, we cover: — How MARA scaled from near-zero hash rate in 2020 to the largest Bitcoin miner globally by the end of 2023 — Key differences between operating Bitcoin mining facilities versus AI data centers, and where the two models meaningfully intersect — Why ownership of power generation — rather than reliance on PPAs — may represent a durable competitive edge for miners and AI data center operators over time — Why Bitcoin may be entering its “IPO phase,” and why recent price corrections could reflect increasing market maturity rather than structural weakness We also explore more technical and often under-discussed topics, such as heat reuse, open-source mining technologies, and the implications of US policy goals around Bitcoin mining. This episode offers a grounded, operator-level view of where Bitcoin mining is headed, informed by one of the most influential leaders in the public mining sector. This episode of Bitcoin Rails is powered by: — Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. — Spark (Lightspark) — a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. — Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) — a leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor.

BITCOIN RAILS #41 | Bitcoin Native Staking: When Trust Becomes the Bottleneck | with Babylon founder David Tse 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “99% of Bitcoin is held idle, not because of lack of interest, but because of lack of trust.” Not long after Ordinals (and BRC20) revitalized the “Bitcoin DeFi” narrative, Babylon seemingly leapt onto the scene with what felt like overnight success – locking several billion dollars of TVL in its “trustless Bitcoin staking” protocol. With some of the most interesting advisors and contributors in the space (...seriously, what other projects can claim both domo and яobin linus as collaborators?), Babylon quickly became a “BTC-Fi” Goliath – converting both Bitcoin Season 2 types and formerly staunch ETH maxis alike. In this episode, I sit down with creator David Tse to get the protocol's birth story - and learn how POS staking became the first truly trustless Bitcoin DeFi application in the world. In this episode, we cover: - Why smaller POS chains need better security… and how Bitcoin liquidity may be the answer to securing experimental chains in smaller ecosystems - How David’s former experiences in the Cosmos ecosystem informed the core thesis of using Bitcoin to secure smaller chains - A quick breakdown of Babylon’s staking architecture - and what exactly makes it “trustless” - Babylon’s relationship with BitVM, and the team’s lesser-known contributions to both BitVM2 and BitVM3 (Fun Fact: David Tse is яobin linus's PhD advisor at Stanford 🧑‍🎓) - Why Bitcoiners didn’t want to stake their Bitcoin for yield until now... and how the "trustlessness" thesis is already panning out (with 1 whale dropping a whopping 10K Bitcoin in the protocol just a few months back!)

BITCOIN RAILS #43: A HISTORY OF “SPAM” on BITCOIN | with Peter Todd 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “You cannot prevent arbitrary data from being published in Bitcoin transactions. Even at the consensus level…It’s mathematically impossible.” Legendary Bitcoin contributor since 2009 and self-described "weirdo with a fine arts degree," Peter Todd joins me to unpack the endless wars over Bitcoin's "true purpose," his pioneering work putting "spam" on the blockchain, and why he believes attempts to filter transactions are just “silly.” In this episode, we get deep into the history of using Bitcoin for data storage - which goes back, at least, to the development of Namecoin in 2011. Relatedly, we cover the history and long-fought governance battles around OP_RETURN, relay policy, and our community's evolving definitions of "arbitrary data. Suffice it to say, the Filter Wars of 2024/25 are not new... they are simply one battle in a decade+ war we unpack in detail in this context-rich episode of Bitcoin Rails. In more detail, this episode covers: - The development of Open Time Stamps + Bitcoin's use in validating election data and beyond. - OPRETURN battles of the early days... and how its use has evolved over the past decade. - Why Bitcoin Core "should not try to censor transactions" and the "performance art project" (Libre Relay) that shows why. - Bitcoin as a "replicated database" and why blockchains may legitimately be useful outside of sound money. - Why preventing arbitrary data on Bitcoin is "mathematically impossible" ...and trying to stop it is only distracting us from "more important" efforts, like the Great Consensus Cleanup Antoine Poinsot.

What if #AI became as decentralized as #Bitcoin? We sat down with our new friend 3700 from Bitcoin Virtual Machine to hear what their incredible team of anons are working on - "Truly Open AI." Full interview here:👇 1: What positive impact will Layer 2s have on Bitcoin? Layer 2s on Bitcoin open up opportunities for innovation, allowing developers to build dApps and smart contracts on top of Bitcoin, expanding its utility and use cases. By submitting transactions for final settlement on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Layer 2 networks claim to achieve the same (or close to) level of security and decentralization as the Bitcoin blockchain. Building a separate execution layer allows them the freedom to employ several technologies (such as rollups). Layer 2 can significantly improve Bitcoin's scalability by processing transactions off-chain, reducing congestion on the main blockchain. Overall, Layer 2s on Bitcoin have the potential to address some of Bitcoin's key limitations, making it more efficient, accessible, and versatile in the long run. 2: What does the ETF approval mean for Layer 2 on Bitcoin? The approval of ETF could potentially have several implications for Layer 2 on Bitcoin: Innovation and Development: With a growing interest in Bitcoin spurred by ETF approval, there could be a surge in research and development efforts focused on enhancing Layer 2. Developers and projects may be incentivized to create new and improved Layer 2 protocols to meet the evolving needs of the expanding Bitcoin ecosystem. An ETF approval could boost mainstream Bitcoin adoption and liquidity. This influx of users may also drive interest in Layer 2 on Bitcoin as a means to enhance the scalability and functionality of Bitcoin. 3: What are the primary challenges facing L2s on Bitcoin? The interoperability of different Layer 2s and their compatibility with Bitcoin's main blockchain can be a challenge. Ensuring seamless interaction between various Layer 2 networks and the Bitcoin blockchain is essential for a cohesive and efficient ecosystem. Some Layer 2s may introduce centralization risks if they rely heavily on centralized entities or trusted intermediaries. Maintaining decentralization and censorship resistance, which are core tenets of Bitcoin, while scaling with Layer 2s is a challenge. 4: What aspects of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin are you most enthusiastic about? AI represents one of the cornerstones of our modern era. However, achieving a decentralized AI infrastructure, owned and managed by users, has posed significant challenges. The primary obstacle has been the limited capacity to store and execute AI models due to size and computational limitations. To address this challenge, we propose a new blockchain architecture enabling developers to deploy their own Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions tailored specifically for AI tasks, called Truly Open AI. These Layer 2 blockchains are optimized to handle computationally intensive tasks, such as matrix multiplication, directly on-chain. These Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions offer exceptional throughput, minimal latency, and cost-effectiveness. AI dApps are programmed as Solidity smart contracts, ensuring they operate precisely as intended, free from interference or manipulation. Our BVM AI Contracts Library simplifies the integration of neural networks into dApps, empowering developers to embed AI seamlessly. In summary, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the potential of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin to revolutionize decentralized AI by providing scalability, security, and accessibility. 5: How is your Layer 2 different from others being built? BVM distinguishes itself as a Modular infrastructure that empowers thousands of distinct Bitcoin Layer 2 networks, spanning Gaming, DeFi, Social, and AI applications. We're continuously enriching the BVM Module Store with new modules to enhance its capabilities. With each new module, builders gain access to a wider array of tools to explore different use cases on the Bitcoin network. Recent additions include the Filecoin module for affordable storage and the AI Contracts Library for constructing AI-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 chains. We're also gearing up to release a ZK roll-up module in the coming weeks to offer an alternative to the standard optimistic roll-up. We aim to simplify the process of launching a Bitcoin Layer 2 network customized to specific requirements. Think of it as a SaaS offering with predefined best practices. Whether it's a DeFi Bitcoin Layer 2 or a GameFi Bitcoin Layer 2, we provide default solutions tailored to each use case. We're dedicated to expanding the BVM ecosystem by incentivizing more builders to join the Bitcoin network. Through various programs and grants, we support builders in covering their operational costs for Bitcoin Layer 2. Additionally, we offer rewards akin to 'L2 mining' to those who contribute to expanding the user base and total value locked on the network. In summary, BVM stands out with its modular infrastructure, tailored solutions, and efforts to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem.

OCM Genesis is the collection of many firsts. Genesis owners will be able to upgrade this month ⚡️ Back in February, Genesis was the first 10K images of a collection inscribed on Bitcoin. The generative art was inscribed in inscription #20219, paying homage to the year (2021) and month (9) we launched Genesis on Ethereum, September 2021. Then, in March, we inscribed another 10k generative art collection on Bitcoin. This collection was kept secret and set aside exclusively for Genesis owners. When you upgrade your OCM Genesis, you will own a piece from this generative art collection that uses the DNA of your Genesis. Both of these extraordinary inscriptions are linked together forever onchain in the first 10k collection on Block 9. Genesis pioneered the parent-child collection provenance feature of the Ordinals Protocol. It is the first 10K collection to use this onchain provenance on Bitcoin. Genesis is also the first 10K collection inscribed on Block 9 sats, the oldest sats in circulation. Block 9 sats are the ideal canvas for high-end works on Bitcoin and our Genesis owners will own some of the best Block 9 real estate on Bitcoin. Sat numbers are very important and Genesis has a special range, one of the lowest and earliest ranges of sequential Block 9 sats. Additionally, every Genesis on Bitcoin has a sat number that matches its Genesis ID, making it incredibly simple to locate and view your Genesis on Bitcoin. Genesis embodies the convergence of art, technology, and innovation, creating a masterful fusion of digital artistry with the blockchain as the canvas. Poetically engineered, collectors and onlookers alike can appreciate the timeless aesthetic of the OCM Genesis and its abstract art collection, both generated onchain through code. As more details are revealed, the story of the upgrade process and all it entails will come to be appreciated as art in itself. Inscribing multiple collections onto a targeted sequential block 9 sat is Bitcoin native art at its core, immortalized onchain for all to marvel. Genesis owners will be collectors of the most significant digital artifact on Bitcoin. If you're a collector of Ordinals, OCM Genesis is an essential addition to your collection. Own a piece of blockchain history and be a part of this exclusive community of digital artifact collectors. OCM Genesis is for the Pioneers, the Trend Setters, The First. !RISE

Exactly One Year Ago, Everything Changed. On November 26, 2023, I shared one of the biggest decisions of my life with you: acquiring the Punks on Bitcoin collection. It wasn’t just about a collection—it was about stepping into history, about believing in a future where Bitcoin isn’t just the world’s most powerful store of value, but its ultimate canvas for culture and innovation. When I look back, I’m reminded of that first piece: the hoodie alien. It wasn’t just an Inscription ; it was a symbol of what could be—a reminder that Bitcoin is more than blocks and nodes; it’s a story we’re writing together. Today, I’m not here to reflect on the past—I’m here to share where we’re going next. Because this past year wasn’t just about preserving what Punks on Bitcoin is. It was about reimagining what it could become. To mark this anniversary, we’re unveiling two milestones: 1️⃣ Our New Website – A reflection of our identity and vision. More than just a homepage, it’s a statement: sleek, elegant, and true to the ethos of Punks on Bitcoin. It’s where the past meets the future. 2️⃣ Our Virtual Showroom – This is where the experience becomes tangible. Immerse yourself in the world of Punks, interact with the art, and feel what it means to be part of this movement. In addition to these milestones, last October marked another significant moment in our journey. We organized our first 10k Ordinals Night during BTC Amsterdam—a night dedicated to celebrating this movement and its community. What began as a single evening holds the promise of becoming a recurring series, a tradition that brings us together to shape the future of Ordinals. But let’s be clear: these aren’t the endpoints. They’re just the beginning. Every decision we’ve made has been driven by one mission: to position Punks on Bitcoin among the most iconic and impactful projects in the Ordinals ecosystem. This journey is far from over. And if you’re here, reading this, you’re part of it too.

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE CEO HIMSELF 🚨 Every once in a while, someone changes the game. First, Saylor looked at his corporate treasury and said, “You know what this needs? Bitcoin.” BOOM. The treasury meta was born. Then Punk Strategy showed up and said, “That’s cute. Let’s make it fun.” They turned the meta into a cultural flywheel — art, memes, and on-chain madness spinning in perfect sync. And now… the Ninja enters. Not to copy. To add weight. To validate it and co-sign it. 🚀 Introducing NINJA STRATEGY™ — a fully autonomous Ordinals Digital Asset Treasury (ODAT) that buys, sells, burns, and laughs in the face of inefficiency. 🚀 Brought to you by a coalition of organizations and leaders in the Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem. TO SergeSats Albert timweb3_ It’s powered by Rune #14: Historic Provenance — one of the first Runes ever inscribed at the halving block, forever part of Bitcoin history. 🍕 Here’s the play: the ODAT buys Pizza Ninjas, relists them for profit, and burns $PIZZA — our culture coin, our symbol, our fuel. The token that powers the Ninjas that powers the token. Every trade feeds the treasury. Ten percent of every buy and sale loops back into the system, making it stronger, faster, and yes, TASTIER. Like an eternal, self-feeding pizza oven where every slice burns another token. It’s all happening on Bitcoin, with $PIZZA trading exclusively on Presale begins in 22 hours: Tuesday at block height 918,050 (around 8:30 AM EST) and runs for 150 blocks until block 918,200 (around 25 hours later). 🔥The multi-sig address will be shared on X, the website, and in the Discord. 🔥 You send BTC, you get your pro rata share of the Rune #14 airdrop, and any late funds are automatically refunded. But let’s not kid ourselves — this isn’t just a presale. It’s a statement. We’re saying that NFTs can be liquid, culture can be viral, and that Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold anymore — it’s a living ecosystem of creativity, speculation, and perfectly engineered chaos. NINJA STRATEGY™ — Rune 14. $PIZZA. Provenance, Culture, Strategy. — CEO, Ninjalerts Corps Dominant. Unstoppable. Legendary.

🐂 “What’s going to happen to Strategy is going to be absolutely mind blowing come summer/fall of 2025” - Preston Pysh sees insanity on the horizon. Michael Saylor’s playing a 4D game of chess that is carefully engineered around the BTC cycles. James Check (_Checkmate 🟠🔑⚡☢️🛢️) hasn’t studied $MSTR fully, but understands the market dynamics at play and what can happen to a equity that has a options market with absurd volatility that is tied to Bitcoin during a bull run. The velocity of the flywheel shows up as short sellers are forced to buy high, and $MSTR shareholders sell to convert to BTC. Listen to Preston and James discuss what’s in stor e for this cycle on the latest The Investor's Podcast episode. 🗯️ “The market moves slower than people expect, but being prepared puts you in a better position.” - James Check Key insights: 💼 Institutional Demand Holds Strong: After a 7-month consolidation above $1.2 trillion, Bitcoin proved its staying power. Every dip was met with significant buying, signaling strong institutional absorption. “Bitcoin belongs above $1 trillion—and now, $1.7 trillion,” says James Check. (02:29) 📊 On-Chain Trends: Long-term holders sold significantly during the consolidation, but selling pressure eased mid-November, paving the way for the current rally. Supply suffocation by holders below $20K creates a strong market floor. (09:02) 🏦 Evolving Exchange Dynamics: Borrowing against Bitcoin instead of selling it is maturing the market. This reduces sell pressure and positions BTC as pristine collateral, even drawing interest from traditional banks. (12:22) ⚡ Bullish Catalysts: A pro-Bitcoin U.S. president, ETF launches, and derivatives are energizing the market, with potential for explosive growth by 2025. However, risks like custody failures or copycat investing strategies loom. (28:30) 🔥 “Euphoria Zone” Alert: New retail interest is surging, yet historical patterns warn this euphoria may only last 6-18 months. Will Bitcoin hit $300K or consolidate before the next leg up?
