The Bitcoin Ordinal collection materialized through a collaborative effort involving the Ordinals Bot, Rare Scrilla, and NakaPepes, according to Ghostface.
This isn’t Ghostface’s first foray into the crypto world. In 2017, he ventured into the industry with the launch of his cryptocurrency company named Cream Capital.
The venture aimed to raise $30 million through an initial coin offering (ICO), a popular fundraising method among celebrities at the time.
