what's Bitcoin Bears?

Bitcoin Bears is a pioneering collection of 100 pixelated bear NFTs inscribed as Bitcoin Ordinals in the ultra-early range of approximately inscriptions #5300-5500. These unique digital artworks are permanently etched onto the Bitcoin blockchain, representing some of the first generative art experiments in the Ordinals protocol. Each bear embodies a fusion of minimalist pixel aesthetics and blockchain permanence, serving as digital fossils that capture the nascent excitement of Bitcoin-native NFTs. The project has cultivated a vibrant community focused on art, vibes, and ecosystem growth, extending to derivative collections like Bitcoin Bear Cubs in higher inscription ranges (#600k-660k). Primarily traded on Ordinals marketplaces such as Magic Eden, Bitcoin Bears engages holders through X/Twitter collaborations, giveaways, and cultural moments within the Bitcoin Ordinals space, emphasizing long-term cultural significance over speculation.
