Reflecting on the evolution of PFP culture in the crypto market, tokens like $WIF, $CLIPPY, and $MASK have all reached historic highs driven by creativity, prompting reflection on the behind-the-scenes trends. But if we trace the origins, everything begins with the birth of Bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto created the Bitcoin network and the Bitcointalk forum, laying the foundation for the entire ecosystem — although our understanding of him remains limited to this day, with only a photo as a record. This is the uniqueness of Bitcoin: it does not rely on personal fame. And $BTC PFP series, as the earliest identity experiment in the crypto community, is a textbook example of digital collectible culture, with multiple generations of cultural waves continuing the narrative it pioneered. From infrastructure to cultural symbols, from Satoshi’s anonymous hero to community collective creativity, this trajectory itself is the story of Web3.

To be honest, PFP stuff is just hype, but BTC is really different.

The crypto community's culture keeps circling back, but in the end, it all comes down to that photo of Satoshi Nakamoto.

I missed out on those expensive PFPs, but thinking about Satoshi's mysterious vibe, it's really impressive.

After playing with so many tokens, I still have to admit that the BTC PFP system is truly legendary.

To be honest, I didn't jump into that wave of WIF; it looked like it was mostly latecomers chasing the high to take over... However, the BTC PFP scene is indeed interesting; Satoshi's mysterious aura is more valuable than anything else.

Here we go again with a bunch of PFP narratives. Who doesn't know how to tell stories these days?

Really? From Satoshi to all these meme coins now, it feels like we're just going in circles.

Another story about PFPs, just listen and forget it. I've been through the 2017 cycle; no matter how high $WIFs rise, they ultimately go to zero. Creative-driven? Laughable, it's all about pump-and-dump schemes. The narrative of Satoshi as an anonymous hero has been heard countless times, but now which project team truly follows that approach? Everyone wants to be the next Elon, making big promises rather than writing code.

A bunch of new coins are all playing the PFP story, but the real narrative has already been written.
