NFT “Bitcoin Puppets” ordinals
“Bitcoin Puppets” Ordinals

Approximately a year ago Casey Rodamor invented the Ordinals theory making it possible to inscribe data on fungible Satoshis (1 Bitcoin = 100M Satoshis) and making them different, giving them an individual value, Non-fungible. Read more about the Ordinals Theory here

NFTs and other data, like images and text can now be inscribed on Bitcoin.

What else?

A lot of steam takes place in the NFTs spaces on the Solana blockchain.

One of my favorite marketplaces is https://exchange.art/

Many artists try low-fees Solana because of the high minting costs on Ethereum.

Check out some cool AI-artists: https://exchange.art/category/ai%20art

My favorite is the conceptual photography by Ch3iron

Here is one of my recent highlights:
