February 9th, crypto slate It reports on the growing popularity of Ordinal Punks and covers the sale of three NFTs, including #94, which reportedly sold for 9.5 Bitcoins ($215,800), according to a social media post.
The novelty of NFTs on the Bitcoin chain and the provenance of the chain seems to have increased the demand for these NFTs. However, some question the legitimacy of the collection.
Given that the Bitcoin chain was not originally designed to accommodate NFT functionality, there is no infrastructure for checking information such as sales or accommodating sales in the click-to-buy process. .
Details about Ordinal Punks are limited to people’s descriptions of what happened, rather than openly accessible data derived from on-chain information.
To quote the head of research at the PROOF Collective who got this information from the “Google doc”: Norweghan Ordinal Punks current lowest price is 55.4 ETH ($85,500). He added that this is an approximation of his NFT collection in good standing, but questioned whether Ordinal Punks deserve to be classified as good.
In support of this point, The Norweigan pointed out:
@Sean Bonner I tweeted that Bitcoin Punks, a clone of Ethereum’s CryptoPunks, is now taking off.
bitcoin punks It suffers from the same shortcomings as Ordinal Punks as it uses the same inadequate and underdeveloped NFT infrastructure in Bitcoin.
Nevertheless, according to @seanbonner, despite the lack of smart contracts and the square peg, round hole approach, people are going crazy on Discord and trying to get Bitcoin Punk. He advised against falling into FOMO for the following reasons.

“I think Bitcoin NFTs are great for this space and can bring new people into it. What I find bearish, however, is the organized hype and influencers selling rocks disguised as gold.“
access to Ordinal Punks Discord, trading activity is not as “crazy” as Bonner described on the Bitcoin Punks Discord. Probably because the former is 100 vs the latter he is 10,000.
However, the general channel is very active and seems to be the place to discuss Bitcoin NFTs, not just Ordinal Punks. When browsing Google Docs Discovered in Bitcoin NFTs. It showed 43 of his NFT projects, with Discord links and information like supplies and notes for potential buyers.
