--
Bitcoin NFTs are becoming increasingly popular, and collectors are eagerly trying to get their hands on them. Here are three top Bitcoin NFT collections and three under-the-radar projects that have generated buzz among collectors and artists recently:
Ordinal Punks
This is an exclusive collection of 100 Bitcoin NFTs that pays tribute to CryptoPunks. The NFTs were created through a generative PFP collection of 192×192 pixel images using an open-source algorithm by the pseudonymous Web3 creator FlowStay.
Pros:

- Created using an open-source algorithm, adding to the collection’s appeal among crypto enthusiasts.

Cons:

- Limited number of NFTs may make it difficult for collectors to acquire one.
