Exploring What? Crypto Art.
On December 15, 2022, the crypto art world witnessed a groundbreaking milestone—the first-ever Ordinals inscription on Bitcoin's mainnet, titled "Skull," bearing the inscription number 1. Today, the floor price for collecting the first 1,000 inscriptions has reached 0.4 BTC (approximately $22,000).
Then, on March 8, 2023, the first BRC20 token, ORDI, was deployed to Bitcoin’s network. Currently, a single ORDI inscription (1,000 tokens) is valued at $70,000—despite its initial minting cost of just $1.
This innovation (the Ordinals protocol) has transformed Bitcoin from pure "digital gold" into a medium for art and expression. Following Ordinals, new protocols like Atomicals, Rune, Taproot Assets, and RGB emerged—each locking either UTXOs or BTC itself. The Bitcoin ecosystem has exploded with growth, creating countless wealth-building opportunities.
Now, it’s clear why someone would pay 0.1 BTC (~$5,000) for a "half-alive" Quantum Cat. These are next-generation art pieces—and a fresh wealth distribution frontier!
Choosing What? Reliable Data Sources Matter.
To succeed in new coin mining, securing high-quality, real-time information is critical. Early access often means securing profits before others even notice.
Key sources include:
- X (Twitter) – Fastest updates, highest signal-to-noise ratio.
- Telegram/WeChat groups – Useful but often delayed or spam-heavy.
- Aggregator sites (e.g., MagicEden) – Track trending projects.
Building Your X Intelligence Pipeline
- Identify trending projects via BTC-focused influencers. Example list: BTC Ecosystem Influencers.
- Trace information to its source using X’s advanced search to find the earliest mention of a keyword.
- Organize accounts in a dedicated, pinned X list for efficiency.
Pro Tip: If you miss the first wave, study past successes to spot patterns. Examples:
- $ATOM hype → Atomicals Protocol (@atomicalsxyz) → DMINT upgrades → @atomtoothy (peak profit: $2,000/mint).
- Lightning Network L2 buzz → @lightning → @NostrAssets (peak: $7,000/address).
- Rune/DMT/inscription trends → Current hot topics (see curated list above).
Due Diligence: Should You Dive In?
Three quick checks:
- OG/KOL interest – Are credible figures endorsing it?
- Social heat – Search keywords on X for engagement levels.
- Backing – Check RootData for funding history.
Project Management
Use timelines or memos to track multiple projects. Stay disciplined!
Executing How? Master the Tools.
Wallets
- Always use a non-custodial wallet (e.g., Sparrow, Xverse).

Minting Strategies
Top Tools:
👉 BTC Tool Pro Hot Mint
