Bitcoin 'Epic Sat' That Sold for $2 Million Used to Inscribe Art in Ordinals - With AI Voice by Grimes

A Bitcoin “epic satoshi”, or a particularly rare version of the smallest denomination of BTC, was sold for 33.3 BTC in April – about $2.1 million at the time. It has now been used to enroll a Ordinals feature featuring music and the AI-generated voice of Canadian electronic pop artist Grimes (aka Claire Boucher).

An “epic satoshi” or “epic sat” is an extremely rare satoshi – that is, 1/100,000,000 of a BTC – that is generated during each Bitcoin halved. The quadrennial event halves the amount of Bitcoins earned by miners (who support the network). And these epic sats are said to be particularly valuable to collectors when NFT-as ordinals are inscribed in them.

Bitcoin Ordinais Project Bubble Book inscribed his art in the last epic via inscription 70,634,325, which was entered on Sunday. The “Spikes” series inscribed in the epic satoshi comes through the pseudonym Nurowho says they are one doctor became a Bitcoin enthusiast and founder of Nuro Realm, Cypherpunk Labs and Blob Army.

Nuro explained that the “Spikes” collection investigates the exploration of the mind, brain and reality while preserving consciousness in Bitcoin. He added that “Spike #1” was entered into the sat epic and was created in collaboration with software developers and Ordinals enthusiasts. Eloc Remarc, BoppletonIt is Bifetoshi.

“We are experimental artists working at the intersection of art, science and technology, so it has been a dream of ours to place our work in an epic setting and inspire the community to experiment and create new art,” Nuro told Decrypt. “We believe everyone is an artist, you just need to find your medium.”

“Spike #1,” Nuro said, is the first “neurogenerative” 3D audiovisual piece about Bitcoin Ordinals and includes its inscribed brain data that manipulates the art in the inscription.

“Neurogenerative” is a reference to generative AI and neurographic art. Neurographic art refers to art designed to work with the subconscious mind. Projects like the startup Neurotech Prophetic use generative AI to engage the subconscious mind and lucid dream during sleep.

Nuro said the idea to use Grimes’ Elf Tech AI technology came about after a spoken word project didn’t have the effect he wanted, and Eloc suggested he take a look at Grimes’ AI voice.

“It’s original art and music that we made that uses Grimes’ free and open style. [Elf Tech] AI voice for some of the vocals,” said Nuro.

In April 2023, Grimes announced the launch of Elf Tech and offered anyone who used their voice a 50% royalty on AI-generated music using their voice. “Feel free to use my voice without penalty,” Grimes wrote on Twitter. In other words, Grimes is not personally involved in this project, but her technology is available for any creator to use.

“I looked into it and saw that she’s a badass cypherpunk who said ‘Fuck copyright, use my voice without penalty,’” Nuro said, paraphrasing Grimes’ own statements. “So I tried it and loved the spirit and how it sounded to give it a more cosmic and digital vibe. So I’ve been using it ever since along with my own voice and Steaktoshi’s.”

Nuro said that although the Elf Tech program was easy to use, calling it fun and unpredictable, it had its problems, including downtime and upload issues. Nuro is not new to the world of Bitcoin art: in February Cypherpunk Labs and Nuro Realm collaborated with Deezy Labs and Superbosses gallery to launch his San Francisco gallery dedicated to Bitcoin Ordinals art.

In April, the last of the four “epic sats” was mined by Bitcoin mining pool ViaBTC and was auctioned on cryptocurrency exchange CoinEX. It was expected to yield a considerable sum, as Ordinal collectors value assets derived from rare satoshis. And indeed, in the end, there was a winning bid of 33.3 BTC, or $2.1 million in value at the time of the sale.

Following the inscription of the Spike #1 Ordinal, a “child”The version was recorded as the EPIC•EPIC•EPIC•EPIC Rune #66429 using the Rune Token Protocol which was half-released by Ordinals creator Casey Rodarmor.

Since launch, EPIC•EPIC•EPIC•EPIC has seen just over $1 million in trading volume via a prominent marketplace Magical Edenwith a market value of almost US$50 million at the current price of 79 satoshis (about US$0.05 in Bitcoin).

“This is an incredible development for crypto,” Cuban, best known as an investor on TV’s Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, posted on X, joking that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler could sue the state as part of his hostility toward cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

“The reason this is huge for crypto is because people who hold the tokens will have an app with an Avalanche wallet,” Cuban said. “Tens of millions of Californians having and using a crypto wallet in the next five years, or however long it takes, normalizes the use of wallets and crypto.”

John Wu, president of Avalanche developer Ava Labs, told Reuters that California’s DMV is “creating a wallet that you can download on your phone.”
