Mysterious Bitcoin Blockchain Inscription Sparks Speculation
In a startling revelation, a cryptic message has been unearthed inscribed within Ordinal inscription 55,365,041 on the Bitcoin blockchain. The mysterious message, “10,000 sats, side by side. A single UTXO, untouched inside. Born together, cursed at heart. Built with code, Bitcoin Art,” followed by an obscure string of numbers, has ignited a wave of curiosity and speculation among members of the Bitcoin community, especially those dabbling in Ordinals, an innovative method of hosting data on the blockchain.
The Enigma of the Cryptic Message
The cryptic reference to “10,000 sats” and a solitary UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) has given rise to conjectures that this could potentially hint at a novel art project involving Ordinals. The speculation is fueled by the resemblance to Non-Fungible Token (NFT) projects, which commonly feature a collection of 10,000 unique images. Despite the growing speculations, the true nature and intent of the project remain shrouded in mystery, with the cryptic message providing no clear information.
Link to ‘Cursed’ Ordinals
Adding to the intrigue, the inscription is connected to a so-called ‘cursed’ parent Ordinal. A ‘cursed’ Ordinal refers to those that were originally missed by the Ord indexer, thereby causing them not to appear in wallets and marketplaces. These overlooked Ordinals are assigned a negative number until the issue is resolved. The recent Bitcoin network upgrade, termed the Jubilee upgrade, has addressed this issue, but previously cursed inscriptions still bear the burden of negative numbers.
The Ordinals Phenomenon
Since its inception, the Ordinals protocol has witnessed more than 55 million items being inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain. These inscriptions span a multitude of applications, including games, emulators, artwork, PFP collections, and even a standard for fungible tokens. This diverse range of applications further accentuates the intrigue surrounding the mysterious message, leaving the Bitcoin community eagerly awaiting the next development.
