OCM Dimensions has record $106,000 Sale
Danny and Bill Interview with Laura Shin on Unchained Podcast

The Promise of Bitcoin Ordinals
Bitcoin and Ordinals are reshaping the concept of digital ownership. Bitcoin Ordinals, a new protocol launched earlier this year created a huge influx of developer and digital asset collector interest on Bitcoin. With Ordinals, users can own any data they choose to inscribe on the Bitcoin blockchain, and to use the same ledger that tracks BTC ownership. We see this development as a significant opportunity for OCM and Metagood and are building accordingly. See Danny’s post about Ordinals and Digital Ownership for some fascinating insights.
Genesis is upgrading to Bitcoin on Block 9 Satoshis
Genesis is upgrading to Bitcoin and all 10,000 OCM Genesis will be inscribed on Block 9 satoshis (sats). Block 9, the ninth block after the genesis block in Bitcoin's blockchain, holds unique significance for the entire crypto movement. We are very excited to be inscribing our Genesis collection entirely on Block 9 satoshis, all done in sequential order, to celebrate the rich history of Bitcoin and usher in the next wave of innovation spurred by the Ordinals movement.
OCM DAO Votes to Subsidize Genesis Upgrade With 99% Approval
Earlier this month we published an OCM DAO proposal to subsidize the cost of upgrading Genesis to Bitcoin. The DAO proposal was passed with 99% approval from voters and received the second highest vote count in OCM DAO history! In addition, we are making the upgrade to Bitcoin free for all Genesis that have earned a Bitcoin Badge through completing up to Mission 6. All Genesis that don’t have a Bitcoin Badge are able to boost to Level 6 for a fee and can do so through onchainmonkey.com.
OCM Dimensions Sees Record $106,000 Sale
Since its launch on June 15 of this year, OCM Dimensions has had a trading volume of 45 BTC, or approximately $1.2 million USD. Dimensions saw its highest sale this month with Dimensions #215, an immaculate Porcelain Fur Monkey with Laser Eyes, the Rarest Eyes trait in our collections. This Grail sold for 4 BTC, or approximately $106,000 USD! A big congratulations to Jason Sora of Sora Ventures on collecting this rare piece of generative art history. You can view the OCM Dimensions Collection on Osura.
Osura launches with Dimensions and the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection
When obtaining digital assets, users need to trust that they get the highest quality product when transacting. We launched Osura as a destination for true digital art connoisseurs. It offers collectors a curated marketplace and enables them to collect, buy and sell digital artifacts. The first two collections on Osura are OCM Dimensions 300 and The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection, the result of our partnership with Asprey Studio.

We hosted a celebration on X with our community where we heard from our members about the moment they joined OCM and how OCM has impacted their lives. OCM Celestial and Metagood Investor Mark Yusko joined us and shared his insights on the significance of Ordinals for Bitcoin and the direction of Bitcoin’s development and adoption leading into next year’s Bitcoin Halving.
