irl friends have been asking me about Ordinals and where to start... figured I'd make a post to send them. Here it goes: 1) Grab a wallet @xverse @unisat_wallet @phantom and load it with some bitcoin (SegWit address = money, Taproot = ordinals/brc-20). 2) Are you looking to degen with quick flips? Or long term hold? Either way, #Bitmaps is where you should start. Check out @bitmapcommunity. They aggregate info/deets/listings about bitmaps that can be purchased from @MEonBTC & @ordinalswallet. Grab some floor bitmaps, under 10k, on special sats, community punks, standard punk, pristine punk, etc, whatever your budget can afford/draws your attention. 3) What next? jpegs. Long term, you prob can't go wrong with anything under the 1 million inscription mark. The lower the better. Strong community = bigger win. Some places to start: – @Bitcoin_Punks_ • The OG Punks (one of the first 10k collections) – @i2punks • 2nd Punks on the cheap with crazy low inscriptions. – @deezy_inc • Astrals Babes (large file size) • Bitcoin Frogs • Misprints (Inscribed before Bitcoin frogs, ended up "naked" because layering was off – see the story here: x.com/dannydiekroeger/status…) – @OrdinalMaxiBiz • The OGs of OG – @OrdinalGeese • 1K collection with low numbers – @lilbitsordinals • Meat on chain. low numbers. 2.5K collection – @HoneyBadgersBtc • Early 10k collection – @MegaPunks_BTC • Early 10k collection – @BTC_Ordinowls • Early 10k collection 4) Cheat code? Cursed Inscriptions. They're still flying under most radars. Low cost investment for now. Fixed amount for all time. – @OnChainMonkey • First of everything 😝 – Cursed Goosinals @goosinals • Last ever cursed inscription was a Cursed Goosinal – Blesstiger @blesstiger – Cursed Sharks – O r p h a n z @adoptfosterz 5) Degen beyond 1mil? Definitely. Here's a few notable collections with strong communities, cutting edge tech (when released), educators or teams currently building. – @quantumcats – @goosinals – @OGsatoshis – @recursivepunks – @BitcoinWhales_ – @fomojis – @mybtckingdom – @lepuppeteerfou Bitcoin Puppets – @bitmapcommunity Genesis Parcels The list goes on and on and on with this one. 6) Art? Do it! – @trygamma is your marketplace stop for this one. • Think of them as your personal curator. Can't go wrong anyway they steer you. – @deezy_inc @dannydeezy @vibes_gawd Glyphs • Glyphs is one of earliest inscribed collections of art on the orange chain and follows the autoglyph generation algorithm. Still undervalued imho. – @0rdlibrary is the only other one I'll mention here. His Versions of Recursion collection is sick. An OG pioneer in the space. _______________________________________________________ I'm not a holder of all the above—I WISH—but you should be able to find at least a few things in your price range and taste genre. Degen at your own risk! 🫡 Got more suggestions? Add them to the list!

The Bitcoin Frogs have emerged as the undisputed top original 10k ordinals collection We at Deezy Labs did the tech for the launch, but it wasn't as smooth as you might think, and we even lost money on the mint. Here's the origin story of the Bitcoin Frogs: @vibes_gawd somehow got connected with an anon by the name of @Frogtoshi_ who had curated the art for an original 10k collection of cute little frogs. At the time we were one of the only launchpad platforms, and we were the only one accepting lightning payments for collection mints The frogs were to be a free-(ish) mint, where buyers only paid the transaction fee to inscribe the 5kb frog. Nobody had done a 10k launch like this yet Ultimately Frogtoshi felt that a lightning-native mint was the most natural experience to self-select for bitcoiners, so he decided to go with our launchpad From our perspective, we were mostly looking to make some revenue from our launchpad. Originally we had built our lightning launchpad in the sub-3k era for our @Astral_Babes collection, but now we had the ability to offer this to other projects and earn a spread on the inscription fees Our plan was to make about 0.5 BTC in spread fees on the frog mint. We had done the tech for other launches that flopped before, so I was skeptical of any new projects. So we didn't ask for an allocation of frogs 🤣🤣🤣 The launch was nuts. The lightning payments flooded our system and frogs began getting inscribed one by one. Inscribing was very slow, so even though all 10k had been purchased, they were taking several hours to get inscribed... So we thought everything was good and went out to lunch all happy, thinking we had just pocketed about 0.5 BTC. But soon we started seeing chatter in the discord... The frogs were all NAKED!! The layering was off and the clothes were behind the frog bodies! People were laughing in the discord calling it "Only Frogs". My heart sank. We had totally screwed up. Frogtoshi reached out and we started chatting. He was the so supportive and understanding. We had minted about 2000 naked frogs, and another 3000 were still in the mempool, and 5000 more in the backlog. This was a disaster. So we decided to use RBF to cancel the 3000 pending ones, and pause the minting of the rest. We spent almost 1 BTC in fees to cancel those pending naked frogs. Then we fixed the layering and restarted the mint - sending the proper frogs to everyone involved. This cost us another 1 BTC in inscription fees that we weren't expecting. Overall were hit with about 1.5 BTC in losses 😐 A very sad moment, but we took it as a lesson learned. With our tail between our legs we moved on. A couple Deezy Labs folks had grabbed a few frogs during the mint, but I think I only had grabbed one (to test it out), but because I was so overwhelmed by the tech problems I didn't grab any more. It was a tough moment and we thought we had taken a serious L. Frogtoshi was the most gracious and sent us some sympathy frogs which we stashed away. Then we basically forgot about frogs and moved on. But sure enough, 3 months later I get a call from @vibes_gawd ... "Dude.... the frogs are pumpin... People are saying Ribbit in spaces". Amazing. This project that we had kind of forgotten about had taken a life of its own and become a major community. Since then the community has been incredible. Such an organic group of fun folks, and the art has really grown on me. These frogs are just so cute and gumptious I could gobble them all up. I felt so much fomo that I went and bought a bunch of frogs on the secondary market a couple months ago in to 0.02-0.03 range. Now my bags are locked and loaded, and the Frogs have done over 500 BTC in secondary sale volume. It feels inevitable that Frogs have solidified their place as a historic and timeless OG ordinals collection - and undoubtedly the top 10k original art collection. Anyway, that's the origin story from the perspective of Deezy Labs. Fun stuff. Don't buy these to speculate on price, buy them if you want to own them forever :)
