Link To Scarce City Auction Here<\/h2>\n

Although I\u2019ve been working my dream job here at Bitcoin Magazine<\/em> since September 2017, I have only published one other article<\/a>. I hope to write more after the conference, but for now, I will use this platform to shamelessly shill the fact that I am auctioning a painting with Scarce.City<\/a> on April 20, 2021. <\/p>\n

Scarce City is an amazing new project that has been paving the way for bitcoin fine art auctions. We have teamed up with them for the conference<\/a> and I can\u2019t wait to show everyone what we have planned. It is truly an honor to offer this painting for auction on a platform that has such an amazing vision for art and bitcoin. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The following is the description from the auction page: <\/p>\n

This is an original painting created over the timespan of March 21, 2020, to April 16, 2021. It was painted as a personal project while working as the art director of BTC Inc. (Bitcoin Magazine<\/em>, Bitcoin 2021 Conference). It has been hanging in the Nashville headquarters, where I have been working on it. It will be available at auction on April 20, 2021, only for bitcoin. <\/p>\n

It is mostly acrylic paint and charcoal and ash, with one small piece of shredded paper on hand-stretched canvas.<\/p>\n

I planned to leave it untitled, until that one small piece of shredded paper fell out of a bag and onto my table to reveal a simple message in all caps: FOR ALL.<\/p>\n

I feel proud and fortunate to have my position here at Bitcoin Magazine<\/em>. Having a solid understanding of Bitcoin is a necessity for all, and our mission is to advance this knowledge across the planet with the goal of hyperbitcoinization. The need to preserve an individual’s right to privacy (self-sovereignty) is paramount throughout this revolution and in perpetuity. The Guy Fawkes mask, to me, will always represent this right to self-sovereignty. <\/p>\n

As we embark on this journey together to end fiat once and for all, we must not let privacy become a privilege but a self-evident right FOR ALL.<\/p>\n

It is my privilege to auction this piece on Scarce City, a pioneer in bitcoin fine art auctions.<\/p>\n
