After calculating, I've been fully committed to building $Quark for about 300 days.

December 25, 2023, was the first time I mined Quark.

When this narrative first appeared, I was convinced it would be an important part of future ARC20.

The reason for going ALL IN is believing in #Quark, and even more, believing in #ARC20.

In the following month, I FOMOed along with the market, continuously increasing my position until I had enough to support my long-term building.

Having enough faith in a narrative, the cost only affects the mindset during the process; the most important factor for the result is still time.

At the end of January, I decided to become a long-term Builder of Atomicals because I believe that things are man-made.

In the past 7 days, there were 10 new developments in the#Atomicalsecosystem and 6 related hot tweets.

What kind of meme is needed on Bitcoin?

This question can be circled back to: What kind of token is needed on Bitcoin?

This is not Ethereum, not Solana. It was not possible to issue coins here before, but now we have inscriptions, runes, dyed coins and other explorations and attempts.

In the past, I always wondered what kind of currency issuance method would be recognized by the public and regarded as "this is what Bitcoin should have."

After looking around, ARC-20 is the most consistent with this concept. It is native enough, it does not create garbage on Bitcoin, and it does not use the gimmick of Bitcoin to issue air. It is Bitcoin itself.

Let me tell you why I have always been able to hold $Quark with peace of mind.

I published an article a long time ago, explaining what, in my mind, a project's Builder can do. I have also been practicing this "guide" myself. This is a long-term thing with no end in sight, but it is definitely the right thing.

As long as you understand that the Atomicals ecosystem will indeed achieve greater success in the future, you can ignore the market’s FUD and find your own rhythm.

Sometimes I see some community members, even community OGs, who are very sensitive to market fluctuations and feel very disappointed when the market falls. I can understand everyone's emotions, and I would like to take this opportunity to convey my personal mentality.   ————If you really believe in Quark and ARC-20, don't think about making ten or a hundred times the money from here in the short term. It's been a year, and you should have made money earlier. If you choose to continue to believe, relax your mind and try to look at the future from these perspectives:

【General】

1. The Atomicals protocol established a community on X, which will be used to aggregate valuable historical data;
https://x.com/i/communities//i/communities/1844990419299672331

2. Wizz Wallet @wizzwallet released the product preview of http://wizz.club: "A social network based on PoW";
https://x.com/ghostcorn/status/1843249292666155209

3. Neeboo @ghostcorn from the Wizz team said that Wizz is promoting the development of the new concept and new gameplay of "🌈", which will further empower Bitcoin and Atomicals protocols;
https://x.com/ghostcorn/status/1843480418533978495

It has been more than a year since the launch of the Atomicals protocol. I have seen many old friends forget where to trade, and new friends often ask in the group how to buy. So I will once again introduce the major market platforms of the Atomicals protocol.

Before you start, you first need to prepare a wallet that supports the Atomicals protocol. Wizz, OKX, and Unisat are recommended. Wizz @wizzwallet is the best choice. It is a mainstream wallet that is completely focused on the Atomicals ecosystem and can protect assets to the greatest extent and avoid burning due to misoperation.

【AVM related】

1. The protocol official @atomicalsxyz released one of the basic use cases of#AVM- crowdfunding contract, demonstrating the complete application capabilities of AVM;

https://x.com/atomicalsxyz/status/1837891072506163592

2. The protocol official @atomicalsxyz proposed the concept of cross-chain transfer (virtual proof-of-work channel), showing how to transfer proof-of-work (or tokens) to other POW chains, such as Radiant/Nervos, through AVM, and then return to BTC;

1. It’s been one year since the launch of the Atomic Protocol! The Atomicals protocol was first activated at block height 808080, and the first ARC20 token $atom (atomarc) was deployed on September 17;

2. SuperEx official account @SuperExet tweeted to support ARC20 and set up a separate trading section. Users can trade $ATOM, $AVM, $DMINT, #ELECTRON, $QUARK and other tokens on SuperEx;

3. PoC @PunkOnChain completed the first update of the#Atomicalscommunity website based on community feedback;

4. Leaper @LeaperArc released the first generation of Telegram robot "Realm Bot" serving +Realm Name;

When I read the Atomicals white paper many times before, I always noticed that there is a paragraph at the beginning of the ARC20 token section:
“The ARC-20 also comes with a built in ticker symbol service to provide a global unique name system for ticker symbols. The first registration of the ticker name is permanent and can never be used again.”

To put it simply: ARC20 has a built-in token name service, which provides a globally unique naming system for token names. The first registration of a token name is permanent and cannot be re-registered.

At that time, I thought that many token protocols had this setting, except that the names could not be repeated. I never thought deeply about it, but today I have a new understanding of it.

1. AVM's Github repository has been updated a lot, a compiler (avm-interpreter) has been released, and complete installation documentation has been displayed;

2. The market section menu on the OKX APP has been improved to display BRC20 and ARC20 side by side, and ARC20 is no longer folded;

3. OKX wallet @okxweb3 web version upgraded to support batch purchase function in#ARC20market (later a bug was found and the version was temporarily rolled back);

4. PoC @PunkOnChain released the official website of the Atomicals protocol - http://atomicals.space, for anyone to learn about the atomic protocol or find related information and documents.

5. Superex @SuperExet announced that it will support ARC20 assets in FreeMarket. From now on, all ARC20 tokens can be listed on the spot market at zero cost with one click;

1. Atomicals global community channel was established on Telegram (AtomicalsCommunity), with independent channel sections set up for different language communities and developers;

2. OKX official account @okx tweeted about the Web3 wallet inscription market, with an image using the Atomicals market interface;

3. Shako @shak0sama released the ARC20 popular science video "What's Backing Your Tokens - Hype or Satoshi?" in English, Chinese, and Spanish.

4. Electronics community @Electron_ARC20 attended and spoke as the main guest at the Latin American Bitcoin Ecosystem Space hosted by XVerse @Xverse_ES;

「Part 1 Real and counterfeit money」

I have seen countless brilliant ecosystems buried by history.

The cryptocurrency world will surely continue to develop, and Web3 will surely become more and more prosperous, but it is not certain that a certain coin or chain will be the one that will ultimately take off.

Only Bitcoin remains undefeated.

I have believed in many narratives other than Bitcoin, and many of them are still innovative today. But people leave after a wave of speculation, and it is difficult to retain hot money even with innovation.

Only Bitcoin, no matter how FUD there is or how bearish the market is, can always reach new highs again and again.

In the Atomicals community, whether in Chinese, English or Spanish, there has always been a group of builders who have been silently contributing. In order to prevent everyone from missing some important news, I have compiled some of the developments this week.

————

1. Wizz Wallet @wizzwallet released an update, launching a quick import address function for batch transfers;

2. In the past two days, the spot trading volume (daily data) of $Quark and $Atomarc on Bitget has reached a record high;

3. The number of members in the Quark Chinese community Telegram group exceeded 4,000;

4. The number of $atom holder addresses exceeded 7,000 (Bitatom data);

What is an atom?

The concept of atom can be traced back to ancient Greece, when philosopher Democritus first proposed the term "atom" to describe indivisible tiny particles. In modern science, we have a deeper understanding of atoms, which are considered to be complex structures composed of smaller elementary particles, among which protons and neutrons are composed of quarks, and electrons are one of the elementary particles.

In a sense, atoms are the "bricks" of matter, which combine in various ways to form all the matter we see. The interactions between atoms determine the physical and chemical properties of matter, thus affecting the shape, color, hardness and other characteristics of matter.

Tonight's two-hour Space was extremely enjoyable. After listening to Arthur's long-awaited speech, a familiar feeling came back.

The guests in Space shared a lot of content, and it’s a bit hard to remember it all. So I’ll first share a batch of key notes from Arthur’s speech.

There may be omissions, please add

/ / / / / /

Atomicals were built from the ground up for dynamic data and programmable programs, enabling the programming of digital objects on Bitcoin.

Many protocols are now imitating Atomicals, which is a good thing for the entire ecosystem. Bitcoin is the ultimate scalable smart contract platform. Therefore, it makes sense that we will all converge eventually.

As "digital gold", Bitcoin has been regarded only as a store of value for many years.

Has anyone ever thought that this was an act of necessity?

Is it possible that Bitcoin once had the means and opportunity to have a prosperous ecosystem and complex applications like Ethereum, but was "forced" to be stopped?

This was a major decision made by Satoshi Nakamoto before he retired - for the sake of security (to avoid potential denial of service attacks), a series of original operation codes (OP Codes) were disabled. These operation codes were used for binary operations and complex calculations, and could have enabled the writing of advanced scripts.
