Online Blockchain Brings Rocky Horror to Bitcoin for Show's 50th Anniversary
- Offers fans and collectors opportunity to own a piece of pop culture history -
This Halloween, Online Blockchain plc - in collaboration with OrdinalsBot - launches its first limited-edition Bitcoin Ordinals collection dedicated to celebrating 50 years of The Rocky Horror Show.
· 50 unique digital collectibles on Bitcoin blockchain
· Design of each Bitcoin Ordinal reflects the vibrant, flamboyant and iconic aesthetic of The Rocky Horror Show
· The digital artefacts are all inscribed with a unique identifier guaranteeing exclusivity
Collectors of rare digital assets and Rocky Horror fans can celebrate the cult classic's enduring legacy and be part of the narrative by owning a digital artefact from the collection. Anyone can mint[1] one (or more) pieces for 0.005 BTC - approximately $170 - from the dedicated mint page: https://ordinalsbot.com/mint/the-rocky-horror-show OrdinalsBot then inscribes each minted piece onto a Satoshi - the smallest unit of Bitcoin - and sends the next available asset to the minter.
The collection is limited to just 50 Bitcoin Ordinals with each including exclusive, eye-catching artwork that pays homage to the show's rich history making them a highly sought-after digital collectible. Each Ordinal is securely stored and transferable, providing a tangible and verifiable asset to its owner, and is certified to ensure its exclusivity and authenticity so that quality and provenance are guaranteed. OrdinalsBot, which recently raised $1 million in seed funding, is the premier automated Bitcoin inscription service in the Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem.
Ordinals, like NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), are digital assets built on blockchain technology, but they have unique features that differentiate them from traditional NFTs. Each Ordinal has a unique and distinguishable numerical value in contrast to most NFTs. This uniqueness can be attractive to collectors who value the order and rarity of their assets.

"These Bitcoin Ordinals represent a fusion of art, technology and entertainment and will appeal to both blockchain enthusiasts and fans of The Rocky Horror Show," said Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain plc. "We're looking forward to bringing more hyper rare collections and building out the functionality that the audience wants; after all Rocky is all about audience participation."
