BRC20-𝛑: The "Perpetual Consensus Machine" on Bitcoin
Who would have thought that the "𝛑" from math textbooks would become the "chosen symbol" of the Bitcoin ecosystem?
In 2023, an outlier emerged in the BRC20 inscription track — not a conventional four-letter abbreviation, but a single character "𝛑". According to UTF-8 encoding, this symbol is exactly four bytes, perfectly fitting the BRC20 protocol rules, making it the world's only single-symbol inscription, inherently carrying a "special" significance. Even more fascinating is its total supply: 3,141,592,653,589,793 coins, which is the infinite extension of pi, reminiscent of the limitless possibilities within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
What moves people most is its "ultimate fairness": over seven months of completely fair minting, with no reserved tokens for project teams, no private sale privileges. Anyone can inscribe it by paying a small Bitcoin miner fee, putting retail investors and big players on the same starting line. Just like memorizing the "𝛑" mnemonic in childhood, everyone can participate — no barriers.
And the magic of "𝛑" goes far beyond that. It is a consensus embedded in human genes — from textbooks to daily life, everyone recognizes this "infinite non-repeating" symbol, making it the best meme by nature. In the community, no one discusses complex technology, only one phrase is shared: "The '𝛑' on BTC,"
