The first dog on chain. The first animal on chain.
Carved into Bitcoin at block 299,825 — May 09, 2014.
May 09, 2014. Bitcoin is trading around $440. Dogecoin is five months old. And somewhere, an anonymous user builds a transaction with a little ASCII dog tucked inside it and broadcasts it to the network.
It confirms in block 299,825. From that moment on, buddy is part of Bitcoin. Every full node on earth carries him. He can't be edited, deleted, rugged, or migrated. He just sits there — the first dog ever recorded on the blockchain.
And not just the first dog. Bitcat, the famous "first cat on chain," didn't show up until block 322,917 on September 28, 2014. That's 23,092 blocks later — nearly five months of the dog sitting on chain alone. Before the cat. Before any of them. The first animal on the blockchain is a dog. His name is buddy.
The cat coin ran first. Fine. The chain doesn't care about narratives — it cares about block heights. Lower number wins. Buddy's number is lower. Forever.
