📣 Old men have resurfaced and are making big waves in BTC!

Inscribed in February 2023, the Taproot Wizards NFT collection will finally be available for mint on 25th March 2025.

If you’re a BTC feerate trader but don’t know what Taproot Wizards is, here’s a quick rundown on its origin, hype, and potential effect on feerate 🧵

🌍 Origin of The Wizard

The Taproot Wizards collection was inspired by the Bitcoin “magic internet money” meme that emerged on Reddit in 2013.

This cute odd wizard meme was a huge success and was believed to have contributed to the rise in Bitcoin’s price from $287 to $1,132 in a month.

🎯 Purpose of The Wizard
Created by Udi Wertheimer, Eric Wall, and 0xfar, their aim was to restore the culture of building on Bitcoin.

In an attempt to prove to Bitcoin maximalists that the blockchain can be used for more than just facilitating payments, the very first Taproot Wizard was introduced with a 3.96 MB block — the largest in Bitcoin history occupying 99% of the space.

👪 Community
The community hasn’t been sitting still during these 2 years; instead, the project prioritized building a community of people aligned with its goals rather than attract speculators only interested in trading the JPEGs.

➕ Bonus: Quantum Cats
Just a year after Taproot Wizards were inscribed, the Quantum Cats collection was designed as a tribute to a Bitcoin improvement proposal called OP_CAT, which joins two elements in a stack and then puts them back into the stack.

The sale of 3,000 Quantum Cats raised ~$13 million despite multiple postponements. Additionally, a single Quantum Cat was sold for $250,000 at an auction on Sothebysverse.

The holders of Quantum Cats also stand a chance to be on the WL for the upcoming Taproot Wizards mint.

The combination of Taproot Wizards and highly successful Quantum Cats collections, along with their solid dedicated community, are good indicators of how the upcoming Taproot Wizards mint will affect feerate.
