Cool Candles and the history of Bitcoin

Cool Candles is a long-term project that integrates crypto history into crypto itself. I am fascinated by the history of crypto, and after giving it some thought on how I can capture and share it in a very exciting way, Cool Candles was born.

Cool Candles is the first collection of a series that brings crypto history into NFTs. Each candle represents a day from the Bitcoin History in 2010. Each NFT contains the day, price, rank(volatility), events, and some other cool information. The collection is live on Opensea ETH 😱, yes an NFT collection of BTC on ETH, isn't it beautiful?

The image above is one of the Satoshi Coding candles and represents the release of BTC 0.3.2 on 7/17/2010 by Satoshi Nakamoto along with the release message. We have assigned each NFT different classes(characters) to make the collection more unique. Each NFT can be obtained for 0.1 ETH. We have kept 14 non-rare NFTs for future community events.

We are starting with Bitcoin but we are not stopping there. We plan on releasing a collection for each BTC year. Each collection should be separated to allow some time in between for growth. 2010 is a historical event itself, and many more events happen during the first half and before 2010. We are in no rush to catching up to 2021 because this will allow more accurate price action and historical events.

We are aware of other platforms and some of the benefits they offer, but right now Etherium seems to be the way to go for a long-term project since the other platforms still need time to grow, then run into some problems, and see how those problems are handled. Knowing how fast the crypto development moves, it's just a matter of time before a few bridges show up.

We have prioritized the properties of the NFTs for the daily information and events and kept the visual properties at a minimum. Some of the properties for the 2010 NFT collection were created with the intention of using them in-game. We are not planning on making a game on the blockchain as of now but we will use it for verification purposes (e.g: web game access and in-game content).​

Out of all the collections, this will be the smallest and simplest design. Each NFT collection should look better than the one before. Historical events will be distributed in different collections.

​This is a long-term project. We need time to grow regardless of the state of the market. The market is very saturated and if you are reading this you are probably in the very early stages of the project. After I finish writing this article I will start writing the document for the first exclusive game for our community. Today is 10/19/2021 and nobody has bought or even followed our project. Will leave this here for reference.
