While one might assume that each satoshi is identical in value and function, there are, in fact, six distinct types that add a layer of uniqueness to these digital coins.
Let’s delve into the different types of satoshis and explore the characteristics that differentiate them.
1) Uncommon Satoshis
Uncommon satoshis are like rare gems. These digital artefacts are scarce and often associated with transactions that involve unique or unusual patterns. Uncommon satoshis are a testament to the diversity within the Bitcoin blockchain. Whether it’s an exceptionally large transaction or one with unconventional inputs and outputs.
Of the over ~11M ordinals inscribed to date, only about ~1k are on uncommon sats.
We obtained an uncommon satoshi that was first minted right before @DeGodsNFT was minted back in Oct 2021.

2) Palindrome Satoshis
Palindromes are words or phrases that read the same backward as forward. Palindromic satoshis share a similar charm. These digital artefacts feature numerical sequences that maintain their integrity when read in reverse. Collectors and enthusiasts often find joy in discovering and trading these symmetrical digital treasures. They add a touch of linguistic playfulness.

3) Nakamoto Satoshis
Named in homage to Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, these digital artefacts hold a special value. Nakamoto satoshis are often associated with transactions that involve the earliest days of Bitcoin’s existence. They are considered historical artifacts, capturing a piece of the cryptocurrency’s origin and reflecting the ethos of its enigmatic founder.

4) Block 78 Satoshis
Block 78 satoshis refers to those coins that originated from the 78th block of the Bitcoin blockchain. These digital artefacts carry a unique historical marker. They represent a specific moment in the continuous chain of blocks that make up the Bitcoin ledger.

5) Vintage Satoshis
They refer to coins that have been dormant or untouched for an extended period. These satoshis may have a unique history or may simply be part of long-forgotten wallets. Collectors and investors often find value in these vintage digital artifacts. They consider them akin to digital antiques within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Seems like every ordinal project is popping off rn. Just a matter of time @Froggo_Magician

6) Pizza Satoshis
The famous “Bitcoin Pizza” transaction marks the birth of Bitcoin’s real-world use. In 2010, a developer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 units for two pizzas. Pizza satoshis are those that can be traced back to this historic transaction. It represents a tangible connection to the moment when Bitcoin transitioned from a concept to a medium of exchange.
The market cap of Pizza Satoshis is more than 2x that of Bored Ape and Mutant Ape combined
Will be 10x soon
