OnChainMonkey Takes Center Stage at Consensus 2023
Consensus 2023 is one of the crypto industry’s annual breakout events. It attracts builders, enthusiasts, media, and of course, members of our incredible OCM community. OnChainMonkey and its leadership team showed up in full force at the Austin event. We gathered to discuss some of the industry’s most trending topics: Ordinals, the lasting impact of FTX, and how AI will impact web3.
CEO Danny Yang Discusses Bitcoin Ordinals on the Consensus Main Stage
CEO Danny Yang on-stage discussing Bitcoin Ordinals. Metagood CEO and co-founder Danny Yang spoke on a Consensus panel about Bitcoin Ordinals, exploring the new inscription technology and its potential use cases. He proudly shared how we were the first ones to mint 10,000 profile pictures in one transaction–on both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In the blockchain world, Bitcoin stands out for its security and widespread adoption, and Danny emphasized that. He also highlighted our recent collaboration with Asprey Studio for the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection, which brought Metagood to the world of luxury good NFTs.
While some critics argued that monkey JPEGs should not be on Bitcoin, Danny appeared on CoinDeskTV’s “All About Bitcoin” to explain that OnChainMonkey are not JPEGs and how we inscribed all 10K NFTs in less than 20 bytes so in a very energy efficient manner. It’s exciting to see how blockchain technology is transforming our world, and Danny’s talk highlighted the power of OCM in doing so.
COO Amanda Terry Represents Metagood in PitchFest Semifinals
COO Amanda Terry showcases OnChainMonkey at the PitchFest semifinals. Danny wasn’t the only Metagood leader taking Consensus by storm. Our fearless COO Amanda Terry represented Metagood in the Consensus 2023 PitchFest semifinals. She joined other visionary founders from the blockchain world to showcase the uniqueness of the Metagood mission and OCM network.
She highlighted our community’s power and pfp collection’s uniqueness. Pitching alongside 11 leaders out of over 250 entries globally was an honor.
OCM Web3 Pioneer Dinner
It was the first-ever in-person meeting for our co-founders, Danny Yang and Amanda Terry. We saw monkeys across Consensus, representing OCM with merch ranging from hats to t-shirts. We enjoyed chance encounters in the event halls and across the bustling city of Austin. It’s always a pleasure to connect with our community IRL and experience the power of each other’s company.
We also hosted a community dinner with Jason Fang of Sora Ventures. It was an opportunity for people to experience firsthand our values: !RISE: Respect, Integrity, Sustainability and Enrichment. Hot topics of conversation included the future of Ordinals and, of course, the future of OCM.
It was also a special moment for the Metagood team, where our CEO Danny Yang and COO Amanda Terry met for the first time in person! After two years of working together, they enjoyed an offline conversation.
In conclusion, Consensus 2023 was a valuable event for the OCM community and beyond. On to the next one!

NFT Thought Leaders and a Party on the NYSE Floor Make NFT.NYC 2023 Unforgettable
How’s it hangin’ monkeys? We’re fresh off an incredible trip to NYC for the annual NFT.NYC festivities where we did what we do best, go bananas! From panels to parties and even the New York Stock Exchange, OnChainMonkey was there to represent – here’s the lowdown on everything that went down.
Metagood co-founder Amanda Terry took to the stage at NFT NYC for a couple panels about cultivating community and success of DAOs and NFTs through collaboration with 3D and NFT artist, Stacie Ant and Nom, co-founder of MonkeDAO. She also sat down with Michael Lee of 6529 Capital, Chris Castiglione, co-founder of Console.xyz, SoVonna Goins, founder, CEO, and Curator of Genius at Women X Meta, and Jason Fang, founder of Sora Ventures to talk all things decentralized NFT communities. The content was epically banana-rich.

OnChainMonkey Member Ryan Blank Participates in Charity Poker Game for Rare Pediatric Disease
What makes the OCM community an amazing place to be? Its members.
OCM holders give their time and resources to those that need them most. We saw a shining example of this last month, with our member Ryan Blank showing up for kids in need in a big way. He recently donated five percent of his poker earnings to the A-T Children’s Project to support research and awareness for the disease.
What is A-T?
A-T, short for Ataxia-telangiectasia, is a “rare genetic disease that attacks children, causing progressive loss of muscle control, immune system problems, and a high rate of cancer.” A-T affects between 1 in 40,000 and 1 in 100,000 births, although rates may be higher due to late diagnoses.
Ryan heard about A-T from another OCM member and immediately wanted to support the cause. OnChainMonkey supports the cause through its MonkeyMisFit community, a group dedicated to health and well-being. Members are pursuing a 10K challenge to raise funds and awareness for A-T.
The A-T Children’s Project executive director personally thanked Ryan for his support. She shared, “Research is accelerating on many fronts – including gene therapy and drug screening, to name a few – and we are more hopeful than ever that we will develop meaningful therapies in the near future.” We’re proud to have a community where giving back is second nature.
OCM at the Poker Table
Ryan’s poker face in action. Ryan is a self-proclaimed “philanthropic poker player.” With countless wins, he sees live poker as a powerful platform to attract support for meaningful causes.
He proudly kept his OCM hat on the poker table during the recent live-streamed game at Hustler Casino Live, showcasing our community to the world. Ryan said, “All worked out, in the end, thanks to a little monkey Karma luck by my side.” Ryan is the proud owner of Karma Monkey #3612 and part of the OCM Hoodie Club.
Ryan’s kindhearted pursuits extend beyond the poker world. He recently traveled to Costa Rica to spend time at an orphanage, interacting with the children and helping with tasks like cooking. Ryan recognizes the power of human connection, especially for youth in challenging situations. He plans to return with his son later this year and introduce him to the benefits of helping others.
Ryan on the !RISE
In addition to his poker pursuits, Ryan is a leader in the emerging self-storage development space. You can check out more of his work here. The OCM community applauds Ryan for his efforts and for embodying OCM’s values.
Ryan’s monkey. We look forward to more great community initiatives! Stay in touch with OnChainMonkey by checking out our Instagram and Twitter.

Danny Yang’s Op-ed for Bitcoin Magazine: Ordinals Are Good for Bitcoin, but More Standards Are Needed
In the last few years, NFTs have been the breakout application for Ethereum and other blockchains. While much of this mainstream user base did leave with the drop in NFT prices, many have stayed. But the initial surge in NFT interest drew most of these users to blockchain projects aside from Bitcoin, even though BTC is the largest cryptocurrency by market cap (which is twice the size of Ethereum’s) and it has the highest level of security and the most proven capacity as a store of value. Unsurprisingly, a protocol like Ordinals arrived to make it possible for NFTs to exist on Bitcoin. It was only a matter of time until someone recognized that Bitcoin’s staying power could underpin a truly “killer” app.
Danny Yang’s op-ed in Bitcoin MagazineWe’re excited to share a new op-ed from Danny Young, Metagood’s CEO, published in Bitcoin Magazine. Read the whole article to explore Danny’s insights on the topic and learn more about the world of Bitcoin, NFTs, and standards.
OnChainMonkey is the first 10k pfp NFTs collection inscribed on Ethereum and Bitcoin in a single transaction. We’re making history! RISE!

Metagood, Creator of OnChainMonkey, Partners with Asprey and Bugatti to Unveil the Most Expensive NFTs Inscribed on the Bitcoin Blockchain
In a world where technology and art intertwine, the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection stands for all things innovation, craftsmanship, and luxury. Inspired by Carlo Bugatti’s admiration for the egg’s perfect shape, the collection marks a bold new chapter for both Bugatti and Asprey. Monkeys – get excited – Metagood had a role in this project as well!
Metagood stands behind our success – OnChainMonkey was the first 10k pfp NFTs collection uploaded on Ethereum in a single transaction. Recently we made headlines again for putting the whole OCM Genesis NFT collection on Bitcoin Ordinals – also in a single inscription! And now, Metagood has become Asprey’s strategic partner to bring the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection to Bitcoin blockchain.
The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection will be launched both as physical “objet” and generative artwork, with 111 physical eggs linked to Bitcoin NFTs. Much like the luxury cars that share their same name, these eggs won’t come cheap.
