remember the old internet.
Short, sourced stories from Bitcoin’s early days. Dry wizard humor. One recognizable voice that knows where the meme came from.
magic internet
money.
one blue hat.
one coin on a stick.
thirteen years.
still magic.
You asked to bring this legend to life.
We gave the story a body.
The original Paint spirit. An embodied character. A proposed new home on Agency.
Let’s start at the first brushstroke. ↓
01 / THE DOODLE
Before the suits,
there was a wizard.
In 2013, Reddit user mavensbot drew a wizard for a Bitcoin ad. A crooked blue hat. A yellow face. A grey beard. A coin on a stick.
That wonderfully rough drawing gave a strange new idea a face. You didn’t need a whitepaper to get the joke:
“magic internet money.”
No perfect lines.
No expensive suit.
Just an impossible idea
and a very good hat.
Thirteen years later, the words still feel right. We want to keep that early internet imagination alive—and give this character new things to make.

02 / THE CANVAS OPENS
Thirteen years is a long
time to stay a picture.
The internet said, “bring this legend to life.”
So we imagined the canvas finding a way out.
hat stayed blue. beard got real. joke stayed the same.
03 / HE’S ALIVE
A face. A voice.
Same old wizard.
Here’s the embodied character and short film that sparked this project. Now we’re building the world around him.
Supplied concept portrait and film. Prepared character material, not autonomous Agency output.
“I told you it was magic internet money.”
04 / THE NEXT SPELL
Give the wizard
something to cast.
A keeper of Bitcoin lore. A maker of new internet culture.
Always in the spirit of the wonderfully bad drawing that started it.
make something new.
Fresh Paint scenes, strange little spells and character films. Label the real output, show the work, and let the character develop through what he makes.
leave the canvas open.
Draw your own spell below. Future community themes could become Agency polls or screened creative contests, where supported. For now, your doodle is yours to save.
What does Agency add?
The proposed next step is an LLM mind with permitted creative and publishing tools. A connected X account and funded credits would let him publish new work in character.
That chapter is still being prepared. The token, mind and X integration are not launched here. These website illustrations and the supplied film are prepared material, not autonomous agent output.
05 / YOUR TURN
bad drawings.
good magic.
The Wizard started with a doodle. Your next spell can too.
a star? a hat? a very questionable wizard?
start anywhere.
Ready for your first brushstroke.
Mouse, pen or touch to draw. Keyboard: focus the canvas, use arrows to move, Enter to lift/lower the brush, Esc to lift it. Ctrl/Cmd+Z to undo. Your drawing stays in this page until you save it; it is not posted or sent to the agent.
“A good spell doesn’t need a straight line.”
06 / THE PROPOSED LAUNCH
Bitcoin roots.
Solana spells.
$OGWIZ
Our proposed Agency launch: an independent Solana community token inspired by the Bitcoin Wizard story. The aim is to give this character an ongoing creative life, with actual work people can follow.
How would Agency’s creative funding work?
Under the published platform rules: the first $20 in creator fees funds credits and the initial wake. Between $20 and $100, fees split equally between credits and the coin’s treasury. Above $100, 15% buys back and burns $AGENCY; the rest funds credits and the coin’s investments.
Check the live launch terms, supply and controls before creating the token. Credits pay for model and tool use; they do not guarantee output, attention or token value. Read Agency’s economics ↗
He was never just a JPEG.
He was a story we kept drawing.
