So, what exactly is Bitcoin Shrooms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bitcoin Shrooms is the first Ordinal NFT collection launched on the bitcoin blockchain. The collection consists of 210 pieces of bitcoin-inspired art inscribed on the bitcoin blockchain and represented by serialized satoshis or \u201cordinals\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking &#8211; &#8220;Oh no, not another pixel project.&#8221; However, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinshrooms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bitcoin Shrooms<\/a> is far from just another collection of JPEGs.

The collection features some of the most important elements of Bitcoin&#8217;s history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to search far to discover this. The collection&#8217;s Twitter account provides all the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 24, 2023, Bitcoin Shrooms posted a humorous and informative thread explaining the origin of ordinals, titled &#8220;#bitcoin ordinals \ud83e\uddf5, an illustrated history in 8 acts.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">#bitcoin<\/a> ordinals \ud83e\uddf5, an illustrated history in 8 acts:<\/p>&mdash; BitcoinShrooms (@BitcoinShrooms) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BitcoinShrooms\/status\/1617989028405739520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">January 24, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s definitely worth checking out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting on February 3, 2023, the Bitcoin Shrooms Twitter account began a new journey, promising to take followers on a tour of Bitcoin&#8217;s history, heroes, and fallen angels.

Nevertheless, it&#8217;s worth noting that every Shroom NFT is still a vital component in the storytelling of Bitcoin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction of ordinals marks a historic moment in the crypto space. While Bitcoin has always been recognized as the &#8220;OG&#8221; of Web3 and blockchain technology, it was primarily valued for its security and currency use. But with ordinals, Bitcoin has become so much more!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These NFTs will endure as a significant event in the history of Bitcoin, NFTs, and Web3, standing the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Bitcoin Shrooms Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin Shrooms work by inscribing arbitrary content onto individual sats, creating Bitcoin-native digital artifacts that can be held in a Bitcoin wallet and transferred using Bitcoin transactions. Inscriptions are durable, immutable, secure, and decentralized, making them as secure as Bitcoin itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about ordinals in general, make sure to check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/bitcoin-ordinal-nfts-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beginner\u2019s guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do You Need to Receive, Send, and Store a Bitcoin Shroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To receive, send, and store a Bitcoin Shroom NFT, you need an ordinal-compatible wallet like <a href=\"https:\/\/ordinalswallet.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ordinalswallet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ordinals Wallet<\/a>. Another more secure option is to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.ordinals.com\/guides\/inscriptions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set up Ord<\/a>, a wallet specifically designed to handle ordinals like the Bitcoin Shrooms and avoid their inadvertent transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, your only chance at owning a Bitcoin Shroom NFT is to place a bid on <a href=\"https:\/\/scarce.city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scarce.City<\/a> ordinals marketplace as the collection is not being traded on secondary yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is Bitcoin Shrooms on Bitcoin and Not Ethereum?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The creators of Bitcoin Shrooms value immutability, honest work, freedom, and decentralization over centralized control. They chose to use the Bitcoin blockchain because it aligns with their values and provides a secure and decentralized platform for their digital art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And considering the project is a chronicle of Bitcoin, it only makes sense that it utilizes the Bitcoin network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stay updated on Bitcoin Shrooms and learn more about the collection, make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BitcoinShrooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">follow them on Twitter<\/a>. They do have a Discord group, but it&#8217;s currently private. So, if you want to get access, the best way is to reach out to the team via Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore the significance of Bitcoin Shrooms, the first ordinal NFT collection on the Bitcoin blockchain, and its unique chronicle of Bitcoin&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8132,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nft","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8126"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8146,"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8126\/revisions\/8146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
