King Bootoshi Inspires Amid Market Chaos

The nightmare continues. Every day we check the price—bad price. But amidst this seemingly endless abyss of misery, one shining light stands out: King Bootoshi.

His relentless innovation, dedication to AI education, and unwavering support for his communities have been nothing short of admirable. While the rest of us are dusting off our McDonald’s applications with trepidation, Bootoshi has been making Chad moves that lift the spirits of many.

Fair warning: this issue is a shameless glaze to Bootoshi, but it’s well-deserved, so just allow it.

For those who were touching grass on Saturday and Sunday, this weekend saw high drama surrounding the launch of Aiccelerate DAO. The token presale was allocated to various KOLs, many of whom decimated their holdings tanking the chart when trading went live. Reports also emerged that some allocations went to burner accounts, possibly duplicates of already-included individuals.

A small win from this debacle came in the form of a new meme, courtesy of David Hoffman of the Bankless podcast, who described his FSH as “an impulsive mistake.” The phrase has since taken on a life of its own, joining the hall of fame alongside “mistakes were made from a wallet I control.”

Amid the chaos, Bootoshi stepped up. On Saturday, he announced that he had cashed out some of his allocation to provide liquidity for the token and support the project, citing his belief in the work of one of the founders, Ropirito.

In an act of generosity, Bootoshi declared that holders of his communities—Bitcoin Boos and $CYPHER—would receive airdrops of his $AICC allocation.

Details for entering the giveaway can be found in the post linked below.

If you’re a Genesis Boos or Bootalion holder, verify in Discord and enter. Meanwhile, Cypher Genesis Rune holders can verify their holdings and will be allocated the appropriate role according to their size. 1M+ tokens will get you the “Genesis Master” role, while holdings of 100k and above will earn you the “Cypherpunk” role. Details on what those mean are yet to be confirmed.

Truly, the name King Bootoshi is befitting of him. Not only for these acts of generosity amidst shady practices by others, but also for his continued efforts to lift others through his mission to "Create a community of AI super-boosted humans, working together through this inevitable AI future while absolutely printing value along the way."

This mission statement is at the heart of his AI Booniversity Discord server, where he has been hosting classes for eager learners who want to explore the potential of AI and create with it.

The Booniversity also offers resources, AI news, and advice from Bootoshi himself as well as the community.

Bootoshi also recently appeared on the Block Runner Podcast with hosts Will and Iman. He shared his experiences in the Bitcoin ecosystem, his journey into AI development, and his involvement in the Ordinals space.

They discussed the integration of AI into crypto projects, the potential implications of AGI on the job market and society, and the importance of using AI as a tool for creativity and productivity.

He also highlighted his work on a framework for AI agents within the Bitcoin ecosystem and his ongoing AI coding streams in the aforementioned Booniversity to educate others.

As highlighted in our recent market updates at the foot of the newsletter, the AI meta has been thriving on Solana and Base, yet it remains relatively underappreciated on Bitcoin. However, as we keep repeating until it comes true, it seems only a matter of time before this wave of innovation finds its footing here as well.

A salute to Bootoshi for spearheading efforts to drive this forward and to everyone dedicating time and energy to educate themselves and enhance the ecosystem. It's through these collective actions that we pave the way for Bitcoin to fully embrace the potential of AI.

Daily Bites: Today’s Top Articles

Todays Markets

Ordinals

NodeMonkes have dipped slightly below the 0.1 BTC mark amidst brutal market conditions that just seem to worsen by the day. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Puppets—despite a larger 12% drop—are clinging to 0.1 BTC on the nose.

Historically, the low for collections like these was around 0.07 BTC or just below, meaning there may still be room to fall before hitting a definitive bottom. For those with patience and a long-term outlook, this could present an interesting entry point into a blue-chip Ordinal collection.

A quick shoutout to Quantum Cats holders, who are defying the market trend by buying rather than undercutting each other into Hades. As a result, Quantum Cats are climbing in value while the rest of the market takes a dive.

Late last week, Bitcoin Frugs emerged as a promising value play, with prices soaring to nearly $300 per unit at one point. However, with prices now sitting just above $100, the real test lies in how the community and its holders handle this pullback.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin Boos saw a predictable surge in price and volume following their founder Bootoshi’s recent activities (covered in today’s featured article).

The Fomojis Genesis collection is also seeing positive market movement, with their floor price hitting 0.178 BTC—a testament to founder Sanj’s consistent efforts which are also gaining recognition.

Runes

Remember what we said in Issue #94: no more bottom calling. In fact, let’s take it further—Runes can fall to zero. Maybe holding them will eventually mean you owe money to the project.

Let’s see if this strategy works.

$CYPHER is the standout today, and not surprisingly, as the news of its tie-in with the $AICC giveaway continues to drive interest.

$RSIC showed signs of rallying back above 2 sats but has once again dipped below that level. With rumor and innuendo running wild surrounding the one-year anniversary of RSIC miners being airdropped, along with other circulating thoughts regarding Rocktoshi, we could see renewed interest in the lead-up to this milestone.

If any of the theories are true, the explosive upwards trajectory that would follow on $RSIC will be one for the ages.

TheDonaldTrump Rune bounced back from its Saturday low of 1 sat, climbing to 1.35 sats.

With just a week left until the Inauguration, the market is wondering: will this be a classic “sell the news” event? Trump is likely to remain a prominent figure in Bitcoin-related headlines over the next four years, so this Rune may still have life left in it beyond January 20th.
