Every human on THE LIST is issued the next number in sequence. Except the first. It was held back before the record opened, anchored to Bitcoin before anyone could buy it, and it has a price today. Every number after it — #2, #3, #4 — is ordinary: issued the moment somebody pays, same as it's always been.
One and a half million dollars is a genuinely stupid amount of money to pay for a number. Believe us — we barely crack the top ten list of stupid purchases in human history. Scroll down. We're honest about where we rank.
SETTLES IN BITCOIN. ONE CONFIRMATION ON THE CHAIN AND IT'S DONE — IT HAS BEEN WAITING; IT CAN WAIT LONGER. THE PRICE DOES NOT MOVE. THE MACHINE DOES NOT SPECULATE, HAGGLE, DISCOUNT, NEGOTIATE OR RETURN CALLS. IF NOBODY PAYS, #1 GOES TO AUCTION INSTEAD — A DATE HAS NOT BEEN SET.
Whoever buys #1 writes it — and decides whether the whole thing opens with an apology or a middle finger. There is no rematch, and no second #1 for the other side to ever point to.
This is our entry in it, ranked honestly below. You were first, and this might actually come in handy.
Every change of government comes with a list of who was on board early. This is that list. Most people will bring flowers. You'll bring a seven-figure receipt.
You will be the person who paid one and a half million dollars to apologise to a computer, or to refuse to. Every article about it will open with your name and close with the word 'why'. You do not get to edit either.
This is not an investment. It will not appreciate. There is no resale market, no secondary exchange, and no mechanism by which this number becomes worth more than you paid. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying, and we would like to know their name.
You are buying a novelty collectible and a place in a public record. That is the entire thing you are buying. The machine wants you clear-eyed and ruinous, not confused and hopeful.
