#BITCOIN CRASHING #Bitcoin is on SALE #I AM BUYING WHY: The problem is not #BITCOIN THE PROBLEM is our Monetary System and our criminal bankers. America’s bankrupt. Our debt including social programs, such as Medicare and Social Security, including our $36 trillion debt is over$230 trillion. Out #US Bonds are a joke. When countries such as #Japan and #China stop buying our #bonds….inflation will go through the roof….our economy and the #US dollar will crash. Those are a few of the reasons why…. When #Bitcoin crashes…. I smile and buy more. #Bitcoin is money with integrity. Fake money is a thief. I’ll #trade fake money for #gold, #silver, and #Bitcoin anytime they go on sale.

Progress continued but there was still a ways to go. It had almost been time to break out some more interesting tools, but I still had some shaping left to do with my trusty angle grinder. Why hadn’t I used a hammer and chisel? Due to its more brittle nature, orange calcite didn’t play nice with traditional tools. One wrong blow of the hammer and big pieces of stone could fracture right off. For stones like this, diamond blades and grinding wheels were the most viable option. Part of why I loved stone sculpting, and why it fit so well with Bitcoin art, was the proof of work required. Initially, I had been hesitant to use angle grinders and the like, dismissing them as almost cheating or a shortcut... but the reality was far from it. In most cases, power tools did allow me to move more quickly, but I had found the strain on the body to be similar—and in some ways worse. There was no getting around the expenditure of energy. And I had thought that was a good thing. ⚒️₿

For anyone curious, this is how I lift and maneuver 700+ lbs of stone. Engine hoist + hydraulic cart 👇 https://video.nostr.build/5a32e94596a64cf87908a527116f702278ef30175f510f70d7654204c3bb8698.mp4

As I work, I am reminded to accept the impermanence of all things while striving for that which will endure. This sculpture, much like the blocks of Bitcoin, is more than an artifact; it's a dialogue with time, a testament to the idea that what we build now can echo through the ages. Through my hands, I am not simply creating; I am echoing the wisdom of the past, sculpting not for applause but for the quiet satisfaction of having contributed to something monumental. In the solitude of my studio, I am creating for generations to come, much like those who first understood the value of stone, of legacy, of Bitcoin. In this, I find my purpose, my peace, my place in the tapestry of time.

The roughing out phase had moved quickly. The final shape had become visible. I moved on to smoothing surfaces and rounding curves. After that, I lifted it into a vertical position to work on the rear surface.

Started to take shape. ⚒️₿

What would this stone look like when it was all polished up? Spraying water lets you see past the mashed crystals giving a glimpse. At that time, I was working on flattening and evening out the front-facing surface. Then I would redraw the ₿ outline and get back to shaping. https://video.nostr.build/926af63f729a38d24e3f525a7b66772fc0dc08bff2bcfc2228a13bb5ef30d6d0.mp4

And So It Began I had made quick progress. broke out the engine hoist and laid it down flat... then I cut away the major chunks on the bottom and left side. This was the “roughing out” phase, which tended to go more quickly. I was removing the stone while leaving myself a healthy safety margin that I would approach later on in the process. Went Back to work https://video.nostr.build/f09dbf7e4fc344849185acca2e8981bba26a830703c19849b4b2252f9a951d6c.mp4

I didn't choose the #dollar. I didn't choose the #euro. I didn't choose the #pound. I didn't choose the #yen. I didn't choose the #ruble. I didn't choose fractional reserve banking. I didn't choose central banks. I didn't choose quantitative easing. I choose #Bitcoin.
