Lot Essay

The hand-drawn, 1/1 artworks in the Ordinal Maxi Biz collection come in four distinct color traits: Red, Blue, Green, and Orange Eyes. OMB Red Eyes, which started being inscribed in February 2023, represent some of the earliest original hand-drawn art on Bitcoin Ordinals. The Blue Eyes series was next to be inscribed and emerged as pioneering PFP (Picture-for-Profile) artworks on Block 78, introducing the ingenuity of “sat hunting” by developer and artist Nullish. Block 78 was mined by Hal Finney, Satoshi Nakamoto’s trusted collaborator and the first person to receive a bitcoin transaction, granting Block 78 as the first block mined by someone other than Nakamoto. The Green Eyes series, gained prominence as the very first PFP artwork inscribed on Block 9 which is the earliest discovered Bitcoin in circulation mined directly by Nakamoto. Nullish helped pioneer the concept of “sat hunting” and was the first to isolate sats from Block 9 which were used when inscribing OMB. The Orange Eyes series was sequentially inscribed on February 11, 2024, during Super Bowl LVIII, also being the oldest ever Block 9 sats to be inscribed on at the time.

Ordinal Maxi Biz, is consistently in the top 5 market caps of all Ordinal collections with over 1,400 Bitcoin in secondary volume while only having at 5,141 works in supply, underscoring its historical importance and dominance in the space.
