mikeinspace is the original dreamer and visionary founder of Bitcoin Stamps — one of the three members of the founding Trinity, alongside Arwyn and Reinamora.The Original Dream
mikeinspace conceived Bitcoin Stamps as permanent, uncensorable art on Bitcoin. In March 2023, at **block 779,652**, mikeinspace inscribed the first Bitcoin Stamp — establishing a new paradigm for storing data immutably in the Bitcoin UTXO set using bare multisig outputs. This foundational act, along with the earliest working documents, gave the community its starting point.Assembling the Trinity
The Bitcoin Stamps story began through the Flooneybin project on Counterparty — a meme built around the Counterparty icon Joe Looney. It was there that mikeinspace and Arwyn first connected. When mikeinspace shared the vision for permanent art on Bitcoin, the collaboration expanded to include Reinamora, forming the Trinity that would build the ecosystem — and, in time, give rise to KEVIN.
