South Seaside Certain
This yr BitBasel will takeover your entire Sagamore Lodge in Miami South Seaside for your entire week. The final present I used to be part of with BitBasel was nonetheless held within the Miami Bitcoin Heart in 2019, so returning to exhibit with these pioneers is treasured. I had additionally no concept simply how predictive my keynote again then was going to be about what’s going to be proven now. It’s groundhog day with bananas and a repetition of Dante’s circles of hell, whereas attempting to assist humanity out of inverse mode. A worthy combat. Legends solely 🚀
As loopy as this journey has been for the reason that early days, needing to repeat some fundamentals time and time once more, whereas the ETH scene erodes additional, fortunately there are individuals who see what I do and assist the perspective to be part of all of it. A lot gratitude for Lecks and Scarlett for together with me within the 2024 present.
Again to the Future

Again then, I used to be commenting quite a bit on how the world is on fireplace, how we have to repair the financial system, the origin story of creativity, how AI will change most low-end legal professionals, accountants, and so forth., inside 5 years, and the way the banana fuckery of the artwork world couldn’t probably sink any decrease. Man, was I mistaken—once more—on that one. It appears the artwork world has discovered new methods to hit all-time low within the Web3 house. At the least then, SuperRare was nonetheless simply taking off with hope. My naive self nonetheless believed again then that blockchain was going to convey extra transparency to the artwork world. LOL.
Anyhoo, each the divine contact and the banana had been featured in my slides throughout the presentation, and now they are going to be a part of the 2024 BitBasel as a mixed paintings. The piece feedback on how the West has misplaced its approach and explores what we are able to do to revitalize it. The reverse of the good inverse is the avant-garde, and I preserve being right here for it. Finally, this shall be seen by everybody and acknowledged as self-evident. In the intervening time, I gotta double up as an artist in addition to a tradition critic. It’s a bizarre place however somebody’s gotta do it.

Why are we not allowed to ask, in artwork, probably the most fundamental of questions. Why can’t we be impressed by excellence, magnificence, concord and the spirit? Time after time, we simply revel on this mud like pigs with no future. At the least the pigs derive some vitamins and skincare from their play, while we simply scale back ourselves to animals with no instincts.

Proof of Effort
T(r)opical from 2017 was the primary Miami particular work I ever made. The two/3 re-paint continues to be obtainable now priced at 1 BTC. I saved the thought I had that a few of the early works will preserve the thread to the 1 BTC value, when purchased from me. After all, I wanted begin making others with out it, as about 10k stays the fixed “fuck you cash” that folks within the scene use for artwork. These piece are historic although, so if you would like in on that motion, I solute you! I saved it right here as the very last thing, so it’s solely by means of proof of collector effort, that you just even get to them.
Additionally, endlessly respect for Moe Levin, the founding father of the North American Bitcoin Conference, for giving me my first ever spot to showcase my artwork in January 2018. Cool to have a fren additionally in Joel from the Dangerous Crypto Podcast, who’s lurking there within the background 😂 The 1/50 signed print was given to Moe as a present.
At 100k, the 6×3 foot re-paints are nonetheless low-cost to what a few of the earliest holistic works will finally price, as soon as the mud settles a bit.
