BREAKING: If you're wondering why the mempool went nuts with fees, apparently the first Epic Sat inscription ever just occurred today mins ago!

And apparently in its honour a Rune EPIC•EPIC•EPIC•EPIC was launched that degens are trying to frantically mint

Sigh! Some people have more money than sense, I suppose

Can you ELI5 why it's considered epic ? Because they named it like that?

An Epic sat is just as you say someone naming it that, but apprently it's the first Satoshi of each halving epoch, apparently someone found it panning on binance (aka sending funds to Binance and then withdrawing them for a new UTXO)

Thanks!

When we're all eyeing up our neighbours as a potential source of food I dont think buying Epic Sats with bitcoin will age well 😂

LOL I'm ready for fallout land, I have collected enough bottle cups incase Bitcoin doesn't make it after the A-bombs drop

Bitcoin will survive even if we're mining with pen and paper! ⚛️
