About this artifact

Inscription #652 by ord's global numbering, but Taproot Wizards' own first on-chain artifact (confirmed via the project's official account, which stated inscription #652 was "the first @TaprootWizards jpeg"). Mined by Luxor Mining Pool in coordination with co-founder Udi Wertheimer (project also co-founded by Eric Wall); this reveal transaction alone was ~3.94 MB, making its block the largest Bitcoin block mined to date at the time — commonly reported in coverage as "the first ~4MB block" (it used the SegWit/Taproot witness discount to approach, not reach, the 4MB weight ceiling; not literally 4.000MB). The image riffs on the original 2013 Reddit "magic internet money" bitcoin-wizard meme by artist Mavensbot.
