The World’s First Physical Bitcoin-Only Collectible Trading Card company.
June 6, 1934: the SEC is born. Fair enough. Markets need rules. But Bitcoin asked a different question: what if settlement did not need a referee in the middle of every move? Bitcoin Exchange #58 Orange Pill in a Pack, supply 1990 image
June 5, 1933. The US moved off the gold standard and picked managed money. Bitcoin people argue about a lot of things. This one is pretty simple: if money can be rewritten by committee, someone is standing closest to the pen. Sound Money #65 Warriors vs. Villains, supply 21 image
May 2017 was a weird month to watch Bitcoin. It closed the month at $2,286.41. Up 69.6% in May alone. The old money people kept calling it a bubble. The chart kept making them say it louder. The Cantillon Effect #59 The Simulation, Orange, supply 210 image
Digital moves fast. Physical becomes evidence. That is why the card matters.
The 2020 halving belongs in the case because it did the collector thing: it froze a moment that changed on schedule. Blockchain #12 image
In 2011, five dollars was not just a price. It was a proof mark. Early enough to feel impossible. Late enough to be real.
The architects lie has rare-pack energy. You either see the system, or you see the wallpaper. The Simulation #36, supply 210 image
Quantitative Easing looks calm on paper. On the card, it feels like the machine showing its face. The Simulation #56, supply 1000 image
April 23, 2005. First YouTube video. 18 seconds. A guy at the zoo. 340 million views later, the platform spends more time deciding what you can watch than showing it to you. Rumble exists because of that. Warriors vs. Villains - #63, 210 supply image
Privacy stopped being a niche concern a while ago. If self-custody matters, the device in your pocket matters too. @GrapheneOS The Simulation #63, Purple, supply 700 image

Part cyberpunk, part internet-forbidden-fruit, part classic 'there's no going back now' energy. Orange Pill feels like it was built for people who grew up on glitchy screens, bad systems, and the suspicion that something was off the whole time. image
Some cards explain Series 4 in one shot. Red vs Blue Pill is one of them. The choice is simple: comfort or truth, illusion or awakening. Very on-brand for The Simulation, and the art carries it without needing a wall of copy. image
The Civil Rights Act passed April 11, 1968. The fight was about access -- who gets to participate, who gets shut out. Bitcoin asks the same question. No bank can deny you an account. No government can freeze what you hold. Alejandra Guajardo figured that out early. Miss Universe El Salvador, and one of the clearest voices on why financial freedom matters.

Bitcoin lives online. Some things around it shouldn't. Binder. desk. slab. box. It stays.
$100 in April 2013. $200 a few weeks later.\n\nMost people looked at that chart and thought they\d image
Raphael was born April 6, 1483. He worked until the day he died at 37. His paintings still sell for hundreds of millions. The work speaks for itself. Proof of Work is the only system that can't be faked. Bitcoin figured that out 500 years later. Proof of Work — #8, 700 supply image
April 2, 2013. Bitcoin crossed 00 for the first time. Most people laughed. A few understood what they were watching. Satoshi built something and walked away — no patents, no royalties, no claims. Just code that worked. There are 21 of these cards. Same number as the million bitcoin supply cap. That's not a coincidence. Tip of the Hat | Chase Card | Supply: 21 image
Ross Ulbricht built Silk Road in 2011. He was arrested in 2013, convicted in 2015, and sentenced to life without parole as a first-time offender for non-violent crimes. On January 21, 2025, Trump granted him a full and unconditional pardon. He served over 11 years. The Bitcoin community never stopped pushing for his release. The case raised real questions about sentencing proportionality and what happens when a judge decides to make an example of someone. Whatever you think about Silk Road, those questions didn't go away when he walked out. Now that he's free, what do you think his most important contribution to the conversation should be?
