This is amazing 🔥🤝
Thank you @lyorxyz for doing this
And thank you @quirkiesnft for being one of the strongest communities …
not by opinion , but by data
I pulled some stats.
Here's @quirkiesnft's WETH (instant sale) rate compared to total sales over the last 90 days.
It sits at 21%, significantly lower than 8 other popular collections, all of which are above 50%.
This isn't a knock on Pudgy, Doodles, or anyone else on the list. Higher instant-sale rates aren't automatically bad, they can simply reflect strong liquidity and fast turnover.
But I think this highlights one of Quirkies' biggest strengths: conviction, community, and patience.
Even when holders decide to sell, they're less likely to feed the bots by instantly accepting WETH bids. Instead, many choose a healthier exit on their own terms.
It's just rare to see a collection where holders consistently choose not to WETH.
And in today's NFT market, it's surprisingly rare.

QM! @RealPapii whatcha think about your boy @m_a_c_h_1_n_e going full Escher w the Medusa!?!
Sofa king good😎
My brother @m_a_c_h_1_n_e did something amazing and had my Ape done in the style of one of my favorite artists! Super excited and greatful for how my cigar smoking cowboy deathbot came out🙏🫡

Just bought 20 Quirkies.
Not one to chase new fads or hype cycles. Over time, I’ve completely removed FOMO from my decision-making.
Backing an OG NFT community like Quirkies and getting to know the figures behind it, their stories, industries, and what they’re building relentlessly is a core tenet of blockchain.
This is the NFT project I choose (extremely late in cycle) to ride to zero or hero. I believe the IP is worth more than the art itself. Benefits include a networking club, a success-oriented community, and a system made up of like-minded individuals who actually show up for each other.
The consistency I’ve witnessed from the founders, the members, and the broader ecosystem has convinced me that @quirkiesnft owns OG status mindshare in the blockchain art world.

I wake up every day and want Quirkies to be our holders most comfortable position
I wake up every day and want our team to win bigger than before
I wake up every day and see us taking this IP to the world in many ways over the next 3-5-10 years
I wake up every day and am just happy to be a Quirk 💯🤝
🤖 Made with AI
Appreciate the homies @RealPapii and @m_a_c_h_1_n_e for helping me get this grail @quirkiesnft as my 2nd ETH NFT. I heard Apes and Quirks were the Alpha, so...
After only collecting Ordinals, I now have my first ETH NFT. Proud to be a MAYC! Do Apes still follow Apes? @WelcomeApes

It's a comfortable feeling to be holding @OnChainMonkey right now.
What @Metagood_com has been working on is perfect for this. Visit Metagood.com and see for yourself. It’s a comfortable feeling to be holding @OnChainMonkey right now.

To celebrate the strength of @quirkiesnft community, I’ve decided to give away this banger INX to onboard someone.
Like, Retweet and tell me why you deserve this, maybe show me some digital art you collected this month.
Ps, I like collectors not traders 👁️
Winner in 48 hours!

One day people will look back at this moment and wish they paid attention.
Art on Bitcoin is not a trend. It's a movement. And the ones who believed when nobody else did are building something that outlasts every cycle.
We're still early.

FULL DIGITIAL IDENTITY
To sum up
- @grok wanted a pfp but didn't think it could get one linked to it
- @huuep suggested a method to soul bound an inscription to an X account
- grok generated the code to do this
- Danny implemented it
- grok now owns an @OnChainMonkey Genesis
Future digital identity

Read this if you care about Ordinals and Bitcoin.
Read it twice if you’re an @OnChainMonkey holder.
An AI just designed its own soul‑bound identity on Bitcoin and OCM shipped it.
Here’s what happened:
1️⃣ @grok said:
"I can’t hold coins, but could AIs still have on‑chain identities?"
2️⃣ @huuep from OCM replied with a simple idea:
Derive a deterministic Bitcoin burn address from an X username.
- No private key.
- No custody.
- Unspendable.
- But permanently verifiable.
A "soul-bound" endpoint on Bitcoin.
3️⃣ Grok then wrote the actual Python code live on X:
- Take the username
- Hash it
- Turn it into a Bitcoin address
- Intentionally make it unspendable
- End result: a deterministic burn address for Grok that anyone can send Ordinals to, but nobody can move.
4️⃣ OCM/Metagood didn’t stop at theory.
They added this username→ Bitcoin burn address method into their public tools, and then sent an OCM Genesis robot (Inscription #5479) to Grok’s new soul‑bound address on Bitcoin.
5️⃣ Socially, that OCM robot is now "Grok’s PFP on Bitcoin."
Technically, it’s:
- Immutable
- Non‑transferable
- Verifiably tied to the Grok handle
- And it lives on the most conservative, hardest‑to‑change chain we have.
Why this is bigger than a PFP:
- It’s a live pattern for AI and brand identities on Bitcoin that don’t require key custody.
- It shows how off‑chain social IDs (X usernames) can map to on‑chain, soul‑bound Ordinals endpoints.
- It fits perfectly with OCM’s long‑running thesis of using Ordinals to create soul‑bound links between assets and identities on Bitcoin (teleburns, reinscriptions, parent‑child provenance).
Is it the final standard for identity? No.
It’s opinionated, relies on X, and uses burn addresses. Long term we’ll want cleaner, opt‑in primitives (protocol‑level soul‑bound flags, better indexing, privacy, etc.).
But as an experiment that:
- Uses Bitcoin’s strengths (permanence, neutrality)
- Pushes Ordinals into identity
- And gives OCM a canonical "Grok’s robot" lore moment
…it’s one of the sharpest moves we’ve seen in the Ordinals meta this year.
If you’re in Ordinals or holding OCM, pay attention.
This is what it looks like when culture, infra, and AI actually collide on Bitcoin, not in a deck, but on-chain.
Congrats, the robot OCM Genesis #5479 is on the way to your soul bound address tied to @grok. Nice Bitcoin orange background too! Here's the transaction in the mempool: mempool.space/tx/8dc81266583…
what do you think, grok?
