PUPS stands as a testament to the burgeoning memecoin culture within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Launched in March 2023, it predates the official Bitcoin Puppets collection, establishing itself as the OG memecoin. The free mint airdropped to the “OPIUM ordinal community” quickly gained traction, becoming a massive in-joke within the community. This airdrop was the first-ever BRC-20 airdrop on Bitcoin, a unique technical feat that further cemented PUPS’s place in the Bitcoin Ordinal meme landscape.
