After surviving FUD and proving himself on-chain, Satoshi was ready for the next big thing: NFTs.
Hung launched a collection called "BarkVerse: 10,000 Legendary Borks", featuring pixelated versions of Satoshi in every costume imaginable — astronaut Satoshi, samurai Satoshi, even one where he’s just holding a leash and looking disappointed.
The mint sold out in 17 minutes.
OpenSea went wild. #BarkVerse trended. Celebrities started buying in — one rapper paid 30 ETH for “Golden Poop Satoshi #007”.
But drama wasn't far behind...
A jealous influencer claimed the art was “AI-generated by a beagle in disguise.”
Another NFT project accused BarkVerse of “copying their idea of putting hats on dogs.”
Just when things started heating up, Satoshi posted a tweet from his verified account:
> “I may wear hats. But I don’t fetch for clout.”
That tweet got 1M likes in 2 hours.
The next morning, Sotheby’s announced an exclusive auction:
“BarkVerse #1 – the Original Bark” starting at $100,000.
As Hung watched the bids fly, he turned to Satoshi and said:
“You started with a bark…
Now you’re a blue-chip.”
