A beautiful example of provenance 🤌
We inscribed the Brad Sherman
@mongs_nft in the first 1M inscriptions.
Then, we migrated 69 Mongooses to
#Ordinals and inscribed a gallery under “Shermong”
Now, the entire MongsNFT collection (6,969) will be under the same parent 🔥
Brad’s Story 👇
This story is one of the more entertaining origin stories in crypto culture because it starts with a politician criticizing crypto and accidentally creating a meme.
Act 1: Brad Sherman Invents a Coin
In December 2021, U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman was speaking during a congressional hearing about cryptocurrency. While arguing that crypto assets constantly compete with one another, he said something along the lines of:
“Bitcoin could be displaced by Ether, which could be displaced by Dogecoin, which could be displaced by HamsterCoin, CobraCoin, or MongooseCoin.”
Crypto Twitter immediately seized on “Mongoose Coin.” - MONG
Act 2: MongsNFT
Out of that culture emerged MongsNFT.
MongsNFT became the flagship NFT collection representing the MONG community on Ethereum. The collection was made by a legitimate Pixel artist with a background in game art at SEGA.
As the meme hype died, the coin was forgotten, but the pixel art lived on.
Act 3: Migration to Bitcoin
Now the remaining holdouts are in the process of migrating this Legendary art to Bitcoin
