Bitcoin Budgies: entry #2 sold for 24 BTC on Ordinals

Bitcoin Budgies

Bitcoin Budgies is a collection in which each coin is a recursive entry using entry 2 and another early entry as its origin.

A recursive listing is a process whereby one or more listings are called up to generate a new listing.

At Symbole Art, we’ve acquired the Bitcoin Budgie recursively inscribed with 2 and 21.

Registration 21

Inscription 21 was created by Shroomtoshi, a pioneering digital artist in the Ordinals ecosystem. In particular, he is the author of the BitcoinShrooms collection, recognized as the first stand-alone collection ever inscribed on bitcoin.

This inscription refers directly to one of Bitcoin’s most important numbers – the number 21, which refers to its limited quantity of 21 million units. The choice of orange is obviously reminiscent of Bitcoin’s identifying color.

The inscription21 is a true symbol of Bitcoin culture, a visual testimony to its minimalist and essential nature; to the simplicity of the idea that triggered the genesis of a revolution. It recently sold at Sotheby’s for $101,600.
