Collector Guide — How to Read This Historical Artifact

This guide explains how to read, understand, and interpret the Bitcoin 100K Ordinals Collection

For an overview of what this collection represents and why it exists, see the About Page.

Section 1: What You’re Looking At

This collection is built from real-time TradingView chart recordings captured at the exact moment Bitcoin reached $100,000 for the first time.

Each Ordinal represents a specific time interval and perspective of that event.

Each piece is anchored using satoshis from the same Bitcoin block that finalized the $100,000 crossing.

Section 2: Time Intervals

Each Ordinal is defined by a time interval.

Shorter intervals capture finer detail. Longer intervals provide a broader context.

1-Second – Exact moment-level detail

1-Minute – Immediate price action around the event

1-Hour – Short-term market reaction

1-Day – Daily context of the milestone

1-Week – Build-up and continuation

1-Month – Macro historical contex

Section 3: Chart Perspectives

The collection includes two chart perspectives to preserve both context and detail.

Section 4: What Makes Each Ordinal Unique

Each Ordinal is unique due to:

– Time interval

– Chart perspective

– Timestamp

– The satoshi is inscribed on

The satoshi matters because it places the recording inside Bitcoin’s own timeline — at the exact block where the event became final.

Even pieces from the same interval are not identical.

Section 5: What This Is NOT

This collection is not:

– A profile picture set

– A generative art collection

– A recreated or simulated event

These are preserved records of a historical market moment.

What Collectors Often Pay Attention To

Collectors may value different pieces for different reasons:

– Precision of time interval

– Rarity tier

– Historical Satoshi Association

– Personal preference for perspective

A detailed breakdown of how rarity is structured across the collection is available in the Rarity Breakdown.

This guide exists to provide clarity, not direction.
