Secret Skellies Society - 𝔸 ℂ𝕌𝕃𝕋 💀

🎉 Happy Birthday to us 🎉 2 years ago today the first Skellie was born on the Near blockchain. What a wild ride it has been so far and plenty more to come! Thanks for all our supporters past and present. Secret Skellies is a cult and I’m never leaving 🔥💀

Unfortunately, I don't think we are going to get the traction to mint the 500 packs today. I want everyone to be able to open the packs (if they choose to) as soon as is reasonable, so I didn't want to drag this mint out. As a result: Effective immediately, we are going to cut the mint to 200 packs. These cards will likely be the scarcest in the set down the line. Let's mint this out and get back to building something special. Thanks again for everyone who has supported us.

Guaranteed mint passes lock in a spot in Bitski’s upcoming limited 100-piece collection, “Ego Death”. Collect all 5 of a project’s token to redeem for an Ordinal from that collection! Tokens are a continuation from Series 1. Empty pack wrappers will be important in the future! Thank you for your support! We know this is a tough time to be releasing, but art always matters.

G.O.A.T. Series 2 Mint is TOMORROW on @MEonBTC! The whitelist checker should be up on their site today after the @OnChainMonkey Katoshi mint begins. Everything you could ever want to know about the Series 2 mint (and the G.O.A.T. collection) is on the link pinned to our bio and also in the post below. 500 packs/.00097 BTC 3 Cards and 1 insert per pack (~$22 per card) Mint Pass holders and high volume G.O.A.T. holders: 1:00 PM EST (17:00 UTC) All G.O.A.T. holders and friend communities: 2:00 PM EST (18:00 UTC) Public mint (if available): 3:00 PM EST (19:00 PM UTC) We broke the launchpad a bit last time with our mint (the dangers of doing something new), so this time the on-chain pack ripper will not be functional until immediately after the mint is completed. Remember, in addition to the G.O.A.T. cards, lucky minters can win a number of fun prizes with our inserts (all tradeable on the marketplace as well if desired) including guaranteed mint passes to @Bitski_Art's premiere upcoming 100 piece collection! raw card art of G.O.A.T. Series 2 #12 John Stockton (silver) by Bitski

6 days until the G.O.A.T. Series 2 mint on @MEonBTC. Let's talk inserts. Purely intended for a little additional fun, every G.O.A.T. pack of 3 cards also includes 1 insert. In Series 2, these can include: 1.) Project tokens of @AeonsBTC, @SeizeCTRL, and @SecretSkellies that can be combined and redeemed for Ordinals from their respective collections. 2.) BTC Gift Cards featuring original art by @Bitski_Art. 3.) A TRUE 1:1 RWA that can be traded on the marketplace or redeemed for the physical piece. We will occasionally offer these and they will eventually form their own little "subset". 4.). Limited edition pieces unique to G.O.A.T. Season 2, tying into one of the most anticipated upcoming collections of the Spring. And ... 5.). A simple unwrapped pack. Which may turn out to be the most interesting insert of all. More details coming as we approach the mint! Pictured below is the raw art for the .0005 BTC Gift Card by Bitski, and G.O.A.T. Series 2 Kobe Bryant (base) by @Waxbones

Our inserts are live and now displaying correctly on @MEonBTC (except for the Gold Gift Card...we are working on it). Collect all five colors @AeonsBTC tokens, redeem for an Aeon! Collect all five colors @SeizeCTRL tokens, redeem for a N0k! Collect all five @SecretSkellies tokens, redeem for a Bitcoin Skellie! Bitcoin Gift Cards may be listed at the displayed value and we will purchase them. Wrappers are for later.... Link to collection below:

Holder Pass mint is live for the next 2 hours! Thanks for all your support, this mint has been a year in the making. We can't wait to show you all we have planned. magiceden.us/ordinals/launc…

@PopCollectBTC LFG!!!

Minters will also receive an insert card in addition to the 3 G.O.A.T. cards in their pack when it is opened. This is a silly add-on we wanted to include, just because it felt like it made the packs a bit more fun and promotes trading. These will be kicked back to their own collection on Magic Eden, and will not be included with the regular G.O.A.T. cards. Possible inserts include 5 differently colored symbols of the @AeonsBTC, @SeizeCTRL (N0k), or @SecretSkellies collections. Collect all five colors and redeem for a free Ordinal from that collection. This will be AUTOMATED!!! going forward, but for now, you'll need to open a ticket in our Discord and we'll get you sorted. Other inserts include Bitcoin gift cards featuring art by @Bitski_Art (shown below). These can be collected, traded (Especially if you ever have cause to want to send Bitcoin to someone and only know a taproot address) or if listed at the printed value will be purchased by someone from our team as soon as we see it. You may just end up with an empty pack wrapper...but I wouldn't throw it away.

Who will collect all five? 👀 Thanks to @SeizeCTRL/@Inscribr_io, our great artists @ekavibes, @8thproject1, @Waxbones, and @Bitski_Art, and our Swiss army knife @LushmeadowOnDwn for bringing this crazy idea to life. Raw card art pictured below (pre-card build).

SSS is back! With help from @PopCollectBTC we will be building up a treasury for the community to revitalize and further the SSS brand in 2025. The Bitcoin Skellies collection is the base for everything. Secret Skellies is a cult and I am never leaving.

Many of our card packs will include an insert featuring An @AeonsBTC, @SeizeCTRL, or @SecretSkellies logo, or a Bitcoin Gift Card. Collect the five colors (Red, Blue, Green, Purple, and Yellow) of that project and redeem for an Aeon, N0 0rdinary Kind, or Bitcoin Skellie Ordinal! Gift Cards may be collected (the art is great), or redeemed at any time for the value indicated. As of this post, 26 Holder Passes remain to be minted. The pass guarantees mint access for every future Pop Collective release, including the upcoming Series 1 GOAT card packs. The link to mint is in the below post.

@pumponacci @PopCollectBTC @MEonBTC Near collection art was incredible, and we are still in contact with the original artist for them. Everyone really wants to do something with it. Bonertown is still alive! We were able to claim control of the Discord, its the same as it always was, link in profile.

@SecretSkellies @PopCollectBTC @MEonBTC I stopped paying attention when they went to Solana, such a bad move, should have stayed on near, that was the best looking collection. near was the spot and easy chain to use, wallet was nice. So I’m assuming a whole new discord, no more bonertown??

@pumponacci @PopCollectBTC @MEonBTC It's literally us holders working with this now. The Bitcoin collection is what we have control over, when the founders left we lost access to Near/Solana collections (contract authority, royalties, etc.). Stop by Discord if you have any thoughts on the Near collection!

@SecretSkellies @PopCollectBTC @MEonBTC Bitcoin??? So what do I do with all my near NFTs?? Where skellies started?

@PopCollectBTC @SecretSkellies W

@PopCollectBTC LFG!!!

We are excited to enter into a permanent partnership with @SecretSkellies to represent Pop Collective as our official PFP. One of the OG projects in the Web3 space, Secret Skellies Society was arguably the top project on the Near chain (with a collection floor of over $5000) until the Near total NFT collapse. A Solana collection followed, and then Bitcoin Skellies was launched in June 2023, becoming the first high-end GIF Ordinals collection (Take a look at the inscriptions, some are really impressive). Famously featuring a tight knit community, they are in the middle of a CTO that we are assisting with. What does this mean to Pop holders? Mainly, we are strengthening our Ordinals footprint. We will be providing giveaways, and our upcoming Series 1 Card Packs will also include collectible inserts that can be redeemed for a Bitcoin Skellie (and other projects, including @CTRL and @AeonsBTC pieces). Additionally, if/when a future SSS collection is launched, Pop holders will be prioritized. Much more information to come, but this marks a significant chapter in our growth and we were excited to share the news! The Bitcoin Skellies collection link by @SecretSkellies is below.

Our 3 year anniversary is in a month. We've been through multiple chains, ecosystems collapsing, founders leaving, and we are still here. Round up the squad. We're coming, and Hell is coming with us.

@majo_main Long gone without a trace.

@SecretSkellies where's anon

@secrethoodies Oh hello there
