Full Story

Either someone is playing a little trick on us all, or they're a secret genius hiding a message in plain site...

(We just don’t know which one yet).

Over the weekend someone spent $66k to inscribe (aka load) data onto the Bitcoin blockchain.

...and no one can decipher what the mish-mash of text and symbols means.

Here's some context to bring the 'weirdness' in to view...

Anyone looking to upload data to the Bitcoin blockchain will typically pay around $200 in transaction fees to do so.

(Sometimes closer to $1k, depending on the amount of data they're trying to upload, and overall transaction demand).

So, when a wallet drops $66k to upload a bunch of (seemingly) gibberish data, it grabs people's attention.

Even the Bitcoin Ordinals X account posted about it:

☝️ Trying to decipher that is well above our pay grade ☝️

So if you know what it means, give us a hint, yeah?

(We want in on the joke).
