/hb/ · The Honey Badger Lore (AKVA's founding thread, 17 caps in order. paraphrased in green; the images are the originals.)
honeybadger_OP.png (593×753)
> pinned. the whole plan, in one thread.
> a 10k pfp collection, fully inscribed on bitcoin. no chain but bitcoin.
> founder: anon 🇧🇷, degen who came in from the other chains. everyone here is Anonymous anyway.
pepe_wave.png (597×667)
> what? honey badgers (iykyk). wen? this weekend, TBA.
> watched inscriptions/ordinals for ~10 days straight and got completely hooked.
> the thesis: FUN drives culture, and the chain with the best culture wins.
irl_meetup.png (591×691)
> time to reset bitcoin culture and drop the toxic maximalism.
> the goal is to bring the masses back to bitcoin.
> the maxis will say we got “beaten to death by ethereans.” cope.
only_economic_data.png (600×681)
> a multichain future is fine. jpegs are fine. both can coexist.
> why 10k on bitcoin and not ethereum? why not? experimenting is how things move forward.
> and yeah: the genesis block itself is arbitrary data. that argument was always cope.
galaxy_brain.png (597×696)
> the old debate: how does bitcoin stay safe once the block reward fades?
> the answer nobody wanted to hear? jpegs. fees are what pay the miners.
we_have_a_roadmap.png (597×761)
> fees spiked and that's bullish. it accidentally fixed the security budget.
> maybe it's a fad. i don't think so. been around since 2017/18, degen on every chain since.
kanye_shrug.png (592×720)
> the inscription tech is being built in real time. wild west, upside and risk together.
> the combo that makes minting smooth: @getalby wallet + deezy.io (@dannydeezy).
> load the LN wallet, press mint. that easy. (high traffic might make it messy, we'll see.)

full_node.png (600×329)
> mint without a full node? yes. transfer/sell without one? not yet, tooling is coming.
> OTC deals and scams are the wild west tax. stay sharp out there.

taproot_43pct.png (600×758)
> reminder straight from the founder: this is all EXPERIMENTAL. ape at your own risk.
> nobody knows how the tooling or the marketplaces shake out. that's the whole point.
> taproot was already eating ~43% of block space. the door is open.
dark_badger.png (594×744)
> fees exploded, so earlier drops (see @Astral_Babes) never got fully minted.
> the plan is dead simple: pay HIGH fees and inscribe all 10k.
mempool_tx.png (596×759)
> babes went out around 1 sat/vB; we push 15 to 25. miners eat well. files are ~12kb.
> “$20 vs $600 a mint?” nope. borrowing the on chain playbook from @nounsdao / @gnars_dao.
> the lesson: if the art is lightweight, it can live fully on chain.
two_badgers.png (596×632)
> all you need is good pixel art and light files. great art + great community beats “being early.”
> and it's trustless: no full node, just a lightning wallet. inscriptions land straight in your wallet.
> your keys, your coins, your inscribed sats.
cant_mess.png (582×518)
> traits are pure bitcoin culture: laser eyes, keys/coins, moon, the LN bolt, genesis block, mcdonalds.
> every badger looks like a fighter. that's on purpose.
honeybadger_quills.png (597×639)
> why a honey badger? because the badger doesn't care.

recap.png (600×277)
> supply: 10,000. mint: ~$15. gas: ~$15 more.
> big supply + cheap mint = accessible to everyone.
> inscriptions going for 1 BTC price a lot of people out. this one won't.
gn_degens.png (600×753)
> the whole point: everyone should be able to grab a badger.
> it's 2am and i'm still building. more details tomorrow. LFG.
> follow: @HoneyBadgersBtc
> that's the founding thread. the rest is on chain, forever.
> go forge one → [ maker ] · see the sett → [ marketplace ]
> honey badger don't care.
