The original artist of the Bitcoin Wizards meme just stacked 668,500,000 sats from 1,337 Lightning users on Saturday. Surprised that nobody else is talking about this.
It was a Bitcoin Ordinals mint and all the proceeds of the 1,337 inscriptions went directly to mavensb0t.
I know JPEGs are a controversial topic here, but I think it’s pretty cool that the artist that added so much value to Bitcoin culture just earned $150k worth of Bitcoin for his work… and the fact that much of it happened via Lightning is a big nod to the power of LN payments for fundraising on a relatively large scale.
I don’t have any hot takes about JPEGs on Bitcoin or the pros and cons of inscriptions, just found it odd that this story hadn’t been shared more broadly… I only found out about it today.
