The Day Bitcoin Became Real

Alpaca Socks History

In 2011, Bitcoin was largely a theoretical experiment. It was lines of code discussed on obscure cryptography forums, a concept of value that existed only in the abstract. The world asked, "Is this real?" and mathematics alone could not answer them. The answer didn't come from a bank or a government; it came from a humble farm in Massachusetts.

This project is the chronicle of that transition. "Do Alpacas Really Wear Socks?" was not just a forum joke; it was the password to the new economy. When early adopters exchanged BTC for those socks, they weren't just buying footwear; they were performing the first act of alchemy—turning digital abstraction into tangible reality.

We are not here to speculate on the future, but to curate the past. In an ecosystem now dominated by high-speed trading and complex derivatives, we return to the innocence and utility of the beginning. This token is a digital monument to the "Proof of Commerce"—a tribute to the pioneers who believed in Bitcoin enough to trade it for warm feet.
