Starting today, I’ll take you by hand on a beautiful
journey. You will (seg)witness the marvels of
bitcoin’s history and memes; discover its heroes
and felons, its core tenets and fallen angels.
Imma stop right here cuz I’m not Peter Falk in the
princess bride. Are you ready?
It is a pixelated recap of the first 13 years of
bitcoin, a homage to the 8-bit style of art that
expresses a slight nostalgia for the 90s, a way to
soil 10s of thousands of SSDs spread across the
world with my art (->next level cyber-vandalism),
a tool to raise awareness about bitcoin and what I
personally view as its core principles, an ironic
way to vent at what I see as its annoying pop
elements and aberrations.
It is a thank you to those I worked with and
learned from, to those who are not around
anymore but whose name should not be forgotten.
It is knowledge condensed and a journey for the
curious. Alright imma stop right here cuz again,
I'm not Peter Falk in the princess bride.
