Hack The Minds with Mike from @bysmashtoshi.
Bitcoin has a history worth telling beyond its price charts and technical milestones.
BIT / History of Bitcoin brings that history to life through 128 artists, each interpreting a different moment in the evolution of Bitcoin.
From the cypherpunks to the present day, we'll explore how art can document a movement, how physical objects preserve digital culture, and who gets to shape the stories we remember.
Today Wednesday, the 11th of November - 5PM CET - 11AM EST

nfts aren't just dead, they're an embarrassment to the art world. says an italian magazine 🙃
same old beeple story, same old price tag. a whole movement ignored, and the fact that digital is the language of our time.
anyway these articles usually show up right at the bottom. thanks for the signal ⚠️

The NFT/ digital art space remains my favorite world to inhabit; full of amazing artists and collectors. Art is the culture of our times and is how cultural memory persists. These are the most extraordinary times humanity has ever gone through. The art is thus extraordinary too. And valuable.
It's shame that with all amazing movements there are bad actors (sigh) but they too shall fade into irrelevance while the art and the culture and the friendships shall live on.
Of all the many things I'm involved in, digital art is my passion and I'll do anything to protect it to allow it to flourish. Beauty is always worth protecting .

Everyone wants to buy NFTs when the market is flying. That’s the easy part.
The real opportunities come when the market is quiet, prices are down and everyone else has lost interest.
Build your collection when nobody is paying attention. You don’t have to wait for the next bull run to realise the value of being early.
Buy the silence, not the hype.
The only documented personal artwork by @metakovan “Savage$77”
He is Metakovan. He spent $69 million buying an NFT.
He grew up in Hosur, a small city in southern India. He never set foot in a museum as a kid. The movie theater was the only art he knew.
At 12 he taught himself to code, sometimes on borrowed computers.
In 2012 he was trying to move money between two trading accounts. That's how he found Bitcoin.
What followed: a crypto exchange, a Bitcoin ATM network, a lending platform. He was an early investor in Ethereum, Polkadot and Flow. He moved from India to Canada, then to Singapore.
He chose a name that mixes "metaverse" with "kovan," the Tamil word for king.
March 11, 2021. Nearly 4 a.m. in Singapore. Alone at his iMac in his favorite T-shirt, Starbucks cups on the desk, backup computers ready in case the site crashed.
22 million people were watching the same page.
When the clock hit zero, he owned Beeple's Everydays. $69,346,250. Paid in 42,329 ETH.
He couldn't even celebrate. Covid rules. So he stayed up till dawn planning which architect would build a home for it in the metaverse.
Then came the storm. B20 token accusations. A lawsuit with his own partner. A market that fell 97%.
He called it his "meaning crash."
One artist changed his path. Olafur Eliasson reached out right after the auction. He didn't even know who Eliasson was. Dozens of Zoom calls later: "He took that interest in me, which changed my life."
Today he runs Padimai, a free art studio in a Singapore warehouse.
The Beeple? He keeps it in a private VR space, 13 stories tall. Only friends get to see it.
Will he sell it? "It'd be the last thing I would consider selling."
From a boy with no museums to the owner of the most expensive NFT ever sold.
If you owned it, would you hide it for a generation, or show the world?
