DonCicio.eth is a true #Ordinals maxi. We are happy to present to you this exciting interview with him.

You are involved with Bitcoin PUNKS ordinals project. What is it about and what has been your experience with this ordinals project? Have you made any money on Bitcoin PUNKS?

BitcoinPunks is one of the earliest 10k projects on Ordinals, and they’ve been going strong since day one, even during the free mint phase. In the beginning, it was like a jungle, with all transactions happening on Discord through escrow.

Unfortunately, this led to a lot of scams. However, the staff took full control of everything and did their best to manage the minting and selling with the tools available. I bought five BTC punks at 0.4 ETH each, sold one at 0.9 ETH, and two at 1.5 ETH, just waiting for a dump to buy more!

When did you discover ordinals and why are you bullish about them?

I discovered Ordinals on 12/01/23, and a week later, I began registering things and involving my network of artists on the platform. I’m very bullish on Ordinals because, first of all, I’m a Bitcoin maximalist, so when I heard about Ordinals, I dove in with all my focus. Bitcoin will always be the king.

You are involved in the Ordinal Numbers project. What is it about?

Ordinal Numbers is an ordinal project that began with the vision of creating games and contests with numbers. Ordinals are very close to numbers, and since we use numbers for inscription, we chose the name. Wave 1 is sold out, and we’re currently preparing for Wave 2. Partnerships and collaborations are about to be announced!

Another project that you are invested in is the UnOrdinals. What is the origin and idea behind this project?

Unordinals is one of the most active and powerful communities on Ordinals’ Twitter space. This is one of the core values of the project: a strong and united culture.

Have you successfully flipped any ordinals OTC or via platforms like Ordswap? What has been your experience trading ordinals?

Of course, I’m an old-fashioned man. I only traded using escrow and Opensea Emblem Vault.

Casey the founder of Ordinals protocol called out #YugaLabs for taking a risky precedent in an auction that lacked trustless mechanisms to protect bidders Bitcoin. What are your thoughts on this?

As I mentioned before, it’s currently a jungle out there, and we need to build in silence, creating tools and infrastructure for the space. Once we break through the entry barrier, we’ll see the real power of Ordinals.

What are your favorite ordinals wallets and marketplaces?

I mainly use the Sparrow and Ordinals wallets. As for marketplaces, I use OpenSea with Emblem Vault and Ordinals.Market
