ViaBTC's mining pool won the first block after the recent Bitcoin halving, and this block included a special "epic" satoshi due to the Ordinals protocol.

This unique satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, was auctioned for a whopping $2.13 million, far exceeding its face value.

The Ordinals protocol allows for individual satoshis to be identified and traded like rare collectibles, creating a new level of value for these tiny digital units.

What do you think?
