Nifty Collector

🟠This new ordinal collection Fukuhedrons will be the talk of the town this Friday. For many @Nakamigos, it will be their first ordinal mint. Its good to see HiFo Labs introducing so many newcomers to the bitcoin ordinal market and community; staying true to the Nakamigos name and friend of Satoshi.🟠

When I bought my @Nakamigos, I saw them as great looking pixelated PFP. I never saw them as something related to $btc nor did I realize the references and coincidences tied to it. Lately, I'm realizing there are a lot more to the story and the mystery fascinates me unlike any other NFT project. For those interested or new to this project, here's a quick summary from what I have learned thus far. 1-The Name Nakamigos=Friends of Nakamoto (Satoshi Nakamoto=creator of bitcoin). 2-The Founders Nakamigos was created by HiFo Labs. No one really thought much about the company name but recently, the meaning behind it was uncovered by @CoolHurstMedia. The name HiFo Labs as the company of the project is actually very well thought out. To the layman, this is not obvious. HiFoLab = H.F. are the first initials of Hal Finney and i.o. are the last initials of Satoshi Nakamoto. While most know Satoshi, many do not know Hal. All of this has led me to learn more and discovered that Hal Finney @halfin was the well known developer of bitcoin and received the first bitcoin transaction from Satoshi. He died in 2014 from ALS. Founders are obviously knowledgeable of bitcoin history and has centered their company name/brand around bitcoin. 3-Website Nakamigos website refers Nakamigos as "crypto investors" whereas cloaks are referred to as "unique characters". Its quite interesting how the founders are tying their project to "crypto" which I don't think is a common choice of words by others.. This appears intentional. 4-"Out of the Lab" tweet On Nov 13, 2023, the founders tweeted that they went "in the lab". For 61 days, the NFT community wondered whether this project was a rug and the floor price of the project steadily declined. When the founders came out of the lab yesterday with their first tweet, was it a coincidence they did so after the first BTC ETF was approved? Furthermore, the first tweet after 60+ days in the lab is a cryptic cliff hanger, with a picture of an old baseball card box in an old attic with spider webs labeled "Crypto Trading Cards." Again, the title "Crypto Trading Cards" happens to be the subject title of an old Hal Finney's email from the past describing NFTs. (You can google this). This famous email was sent on Jan 17, 1993. Again, this coincides with what is about to be revealed on Jan 17, 2024. More intentional planning here. Summary All of this to me suggests that the mysterious Nakamigos founders have "design thinking" mentality while appreciating the lore and history of crypto, in particular bitcoin. We don't know what they are building or their intentions but this does not smell like a rug at all. There's too much thought and effort here. And there's too many easter eggs being purposefully dropped left and right at the right time. The founders appear to be patient and quietly building. While everything here is speculative and there are even wilder speculations by other community members from the other clues tying to other founders and origins, I really like the mystery we see here at Nakamigos. Whether its the frequent easter eggs drops by @beeple with his daily art, the reference and similarity of Cloaks being a game to the old Gurk III game developed by Matt and John (founders of @larvalabs (cryptopunk) in 2017), old references from 10KTF (@yugalabs ) about Nakamigos, or how this community was built with @sartoshi_rip "end of sartoshi" EOS pass for MF-ers, there is just such a rich and fascinating story here with so many things tying together with notable web 3 names and brands. What other project has all of this lore or coincidences as part of its story? Quite fascinating. Make you hope something larger at play is happening? What do you think? Too much tin foil hat or really something special here? 🤔
