BITCOIN BABBIES WERE INSCRIBED BY THEIR COMMUNITY, CREATING THE FIRST TRULY DECENTRALIZED ORDINAL PFP COLLECTION
_
TINY (1kb) BUT MIGHTY
At only 1kb, the Babbies pay homage to retro pixel art where every pixel placement matters. No backgrounds mean that Ordinals are their playground. They can be recursively mixed and reinscribed as either children of the OG Babbies, or new Ordinals.
The Babby Legacy
"How is babby formed" originated from a Yahoo! Answers post circa 2006-2007. The original post asked "how is babby formed? how girl get pragnent?" The post gained initial traction on various internet forums, with 4chan playing a significant role in its early proliferation. The meme reached mainstream status after YouTube user DarkMatter2525 created an animated video in 2007 featuring text-to-speech narration set to music. The phrase became one of the early examples of intentionally misspelled internet language, predating many later memes. Its influence continues today through Babbies.

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST
I created Babbies as a free mint because Ordinals being natively onchain excited me. As an ETH onchain artist, I knew how to compress files efficiently - crucial when you pay per kb to inscribe.
I wanted to create retro pixel art unique to BTC that honored original BTC culture - bibles, Pepes, miner's hats, lasers and hoodies. The rare clown trait was inspired by BTC shrooms.
Babbies was inscribed through Generative, an early platform where Ordinals artists gathered. It was the first PFP collection where collectors could inscribe themselves - groundbreaking when artists lacked funds and infrastructure for inscriptions.
This allowed hundreds of people to inscribe on BTC for the first time. Many became collectors of early Ordinals art, their wallets forever part of Babby metadata - OG believers in the promise of Ordinals.
The collection is dedicated to my own Babbies, M, O, G and T. King - OG onchain artist
