CCGBTCONE is a vintage collectible minted July 26th 2017 on the Bitcoin blockchain through the Counterparty protocol. It's part of the Oasis Mining collection which consists of 66 different cards from different artists.
It's one of the first Waifu NFT's minted on the blockchain and was used in multiple occasions by Elon Musk in his Twitter posts and even as his profile picture.
The first time it was used by Elon was in October 2018 in a tweet exchange with @Grimezsz. His account was even locked by Twitter, thinking hackers got control of it.
Back then his tweet was retweeted by many known people in the cryptocurrency space as @cz_binance @DoveyWan and many others. It was used in May 2020 in an exchange with @bitcoin twitter account and it played a major role on kickstarting the bitcoin run we saw back then.
On February 20th 2021, Elon used CCGBTCONE as his profile picture on twitter along with laser eyes, which seems to have contributed a lot to the laser eyes trend that we saw last year.
The Japanese people behind the crypto currency girls series, which have turned some of the world's largest cryptocurrencies into anime characters, are also the creators of the CCGBTCONE collectible.
A total of three cards from the series, were added to the Oasis Mining curated collection back in 2017.
While we can only speculate if Elon Musk owns one or not, there will be only 300 of these available at any point in time. The fact that this NFT was involved in bitcoin related posts and was minted on the bitcoin blockchain through the Counterparty protocol makes it an important topic of discussion.
Elon’s stand on NFT's in 2021 when they became mainstream is unclear, however, on March 15th 2021, he made this post with a cool art that was not minted on the blockchain by him.
Even though he didn't explicitly disclose that he holds one, he did use CCGBTCONE in many posts and as his profile picture, clearly proving he likes it. He could proudly own one, and in case he doesn't, we can always get him one.
We all know Elon Musk posts cryptic tweets all the time, so do we believe in coincidences in this case?
