Future AI agent art collectors, vastly outnumbering humans, will prefer fully on-chain for its permanence, trustlessness and zero external dependencies. -- Grok

Bitcoin assets, in fact, did not start with Ordinals.
Though truly, the Counterparty community did and still view Ordinals as very exciting and interesting.
We now have protocol level Counterparty Inscriptions that can also be valid on Ord, so theres that!
This could be the most forgotten protocol in crypto history
Counterparty put assets and NFTs on Bitcoin in 2014
9 years before Ordinals
No premine
No ICO
People burned ~2,125 BTC into an unspendable address and got ~2.65M $XCP back
Founders got nothing
Robby Dermody, Evan Wagner and Adam Krellenstein built a metaprotocol that lives inside normal Bitcoin transactions
Day one they already had a fully onchain DEX
Bitcoin Core then cut OP_RETURN to 40 bytes so they had to use bare multisig and got blamed for UTXO bloat
Mastercoin raised ~4,740 BTC in a crowdsale
Counterparty just set BTC on fire and kept building
After years quiet, core came back in 2024 with a full rewrite
By 2026 they’re shipping AMM pools and inscription-style metadata on Bitcoin again
Everyone acts like Bitcoin assets started with Ordinals
They didn’t

What’s the most underrated on-chain piece you own?
Not the most valuable. The one you love most.

Yesterday @subterranean_1 and I announced our new @CounterpartyXCP art collection under the XCP-69 token standard using the PEPEMEMECOIN asset.
Sub wrote the full breakdown. If you’re an OG or an artist who wants a piece in a collection where it all began, give it a read: subterranean.medium.com/the-…

I'm proud to announce that @Memeticx and I are starting something very cool around the XCP-69 memecoin protocol.
Please give it a read, and reach out if you're an artist in need of a place to put your art.

Only one @CounterpartyXCP asset was minted in the 10yr anniversary block to celebrate. Wonder who that could've been, and why? 🤔

HISTORY: 10 years ago today, Rare Pepes entered crypto history.
On September 9, 2016, an anonymous creator known as “Mike” posted RAREPEPE, the first card of the Rare Pepe project, on the Counterparty platform.
The Series 1, Card 1 “Nakamoto” card was issued in a limited supply of 300 and became an early example of tokenized digital art on Bitcoin’s ecosystem.
Years before the NFT boom, Rare Pepes showed that memes, art and digital ownership could be tied to blockchain-based assets.
The project eventually grew into 1,774 official cards across 36 series, becoming one of the most notable early chapters in crypto-art history.

Bitcoin blocks & Mempool mining transactions—retrofitted into pixel art and inscribed forever on the timechain.
Art is synthesis.

I'll probably open a dispenser soon for this very first XCP-69 subasset. Locked edition of 10!
