Hunter Beast's Bitcoin JPEGs

I heard about Ordinals before most folks because I'm a Rust developer focused on the Bitcoin ecosystem.

I've actually made contributions to Ord, and think Casey is a fantastic guy.

I'm a Bitcoin maximalist because of things like Ordinals!

Say what you will of inscriptions, Bitcoin is for everyone.

Bitcoin devs never censored inscriptions, because doing so was not incentive-compatible with miners.

And not just that; censorship has no place on Bitcoin.

Regardless, early on, I inscribed a few things to the timechain.

I'd later come to realize not only are these valuable, there's trustless ways to sell them. (tyvm OpenOrdex and Oren Yomtov, already tried it, and it works great!)

So, anyway, here's some JPEGs, if you'd like to own them, just click the link and follow the instructions.

They're kind of like snapshots in time, back when inscriptions were new and controversial. So, I figure there might be some value there to some.

In the very least, some sales of particular pieces are split with co-creators.

For sale

• #1203. Denver BitDevs: Minted live in a presentation. Proceeds go to our pizza fund.
• #127209. 1kB???: One day I found this in my wallet. I have no idea what it is. But whatever, it's a firesale on Hunter's wallet. Could be worth something to someone?
• #162097. The Furry Illuminati: Nothing more can be said of the Furry Illuminati, except that there is a Furry Illuminati.
• #172599. Declaration of Monetary Independence: This was present at Bitcoin Miami in 2022. Thousands of people signed it. I was asked to inscribe a copy on the timechain. It's surely worth something, right?

Sold

• #250. Witness Data is stored in the balls
• #251. Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash + JPEG Storage System
• #258. ETH 2 zero: Being sold for charity. Trust me, it's for a very good cause. The buyer can reach out to me once purchased and I can let them know privately where their money went, and why it made such an impact.
• #260. Harmless Bits: An old Dilbert meme that came to mind during the controversy, which I took the time to find and edit for satirical purposes.
• #261. Hunter Beast: My actual profile picture across just about everything, by Baxter Desroches, a starving artist and good friend. Proceeds go to funding me a new profile picture, and by extension, keeping my talented artist friend fed.
• #262. Academic paper claiming there was proof of CP on the Bitcoin timechain as early as 2017: For those who appreciate the irony... (Do not post CP to the timechain folks, or else you will find the "4chan Party Van" parked outside rather quickly).
• #263. Flower: My friend from Wyoming had me inscribe this once I told him, hey man, there's this cool new thing called inscriptions! And he had this picture he was really proud of taking, it was super fiddly. He also has a framed physical copy that's also for sale, if you're interested in that, be sure to reach out to me on Nostr. He's a really kind man, and certainly deserves your sats. Besides, it is indeed very pretty.
• #264. How to Stop Bitcoin: Proceeds split with the DIBA social media coordinator, Anastasia.
• #265. Value Stack Podcast: Logo for the Value Stack Podcast. For more on why this is special, be sure to watch this interview.
• #269. 1Kitsune: This belonged to a very good friend of mine. I told them, hon, I'll bet people would pay half a bitcoin for your inscription. And she was like, wat? That'll never sell. And so I just paid her her half ahead of time. Whattaya say, folks? Was I right? I'll admit, it was not easy to import the WIF vanity key on her paper wallet, but I learned a lot more about Bitcoin doing it.
• #270. I support muh frens: Proceeds split with my friend and local bitcoiner, ThePresidents.
• #280. Ordinals Strong!: A classic tweet between Casey & cbspears.

If you'd like to reach out, try Nostr:

There's some neat stories behind some of these, in case anyone's curious, feel free to ask. A lot of these I was inspired to post by interactions with others at the time, so for some of these, I'm actually splitting the proceeds 50/50. That's why some are for sale for 0.30 BTC and some just for 0.15 BTC.

Thanks for looking through my collection! And even if you can't buy, please share!

I might also list other inscriptions here from friends who also inscribed during that time, so be sure to check back occasionally!
