YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) – An intriguing incident! An anonymous wallet spent around $66,000, equivalent to 1.5 Bitcoin, to leave an inscription. Almost 9 megabytes of encrypted data onto the Bitcoin blockchain with unknown content. The user accomplished it through 332 transactions. While some of these transactions were quite expensive, costing thousands of dollars each, the majority hovered around $200.
Why? Who knows! But before we start wild-guessing, let’s look at the not-so-funny facts.
Bitcoin Inscription Content Unknown
As mentioned, the content of the data remains a mystery, as it is encrypted and unreadable. This intriguing act has sparked various speculations and discussions within the cryptocurrency community.
The Ordinals protocol was used to enable this process, which allows for the embedding of data into individual satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. Ordinals are typically used for storing art directly on-chain, but they can also be utilized for inscribing any type of data, including encrypted text.
This case isn’t the only recent unusual use of the Bitcoin blockchain. There was also an incident where an anonymous wallet transferred $1.2 million to the Genesis wallet associated with Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin. Since Nakamoto’s wallets have been inactive since 2010, it’s likely that these funds are irretrievable.
The inscription content won’t likely be evident for a while. So, no one can hold us from a hit parade of craziest suggestions. Here we go.
