🇬🇧 They say you can't go through a halving without facing a tough moment. What happened was a tragedy. One of the most trusted devices on the market for Bitcoin self-custody had a firmware bug exploitable with the help of AI. The device suffered from an entropy flaw when generating private keys for wallets, leaving many honest people stripped of all their savings. I didn't lose any Bitcoin, but I lost all trust in the device and the company. For that reason, I decided to redefine the value of this device, turning it into a piece of art that marks this lesson in history. 🇵🇹 Dizem que não é possível completar um halving sem passar por algum mau momento. O que aconteceu foi uma tragédia. Um dos dispositivos mais confiáveis do mercado, para ter a custodia da própria bitcoin, tinha um bug no firmware explorável com ajuda de AI. O dispositivo tinha uma falha de entropia ao gerar a chave privada das carteiras. Muitas pessoas honestas ficarem sem todas as suas poupanças. Não perdi bitcoin, mas perdi a confiança no dispositivo e na empresa. Por esse motivo, decidi fazer algo para redefinir o valor deste dispositivo, em algo marque a lição na história através desta peça de arte. #coldcard #art #sculpture #walllight #rug
Redefining a tragedy and turning it into value. Felt like I had to do something with my not trustable coldcard. This was the result. #art #coldcard #rugpull image
A friend told me that we need to know how to lose. I understand that means to never carry self conflict and frustrations and move forward. I just don't want to see Bitcoin being captured by the same kind of people that captured gold. The ones moved by greed and corruption. People found hope and fairness in Bitcoin. If that dies, I don't know where we could find those.
Bitcoin is money. Anyone that holds bitcoin and never used as money is corrupted by greed and attached to the fiat world view.
🇬🇧 On May 22nd, a seemingly simple moment is celebrated, one that ultimately became part of the history of a new digital era. An ordinary gesture was transformed into a symbol. A trivial exchange gained a meaning that was impossible to foresee at the time. In 2010, the first officially recorded commercial Bitcoin transaction took place. Two pizzas were purchased for $41 worth of Bitcoin. At the time, it was merely an experiment. An attempt to prove that this digital system could be used as money in the real world. Today, the value associated with that same transaction exceeds $769,000,000. A contrast almost impossible to comprehend on a human scale, yet one that transformed that day into one of the most emblematic moments in Bitcoin’s history. 🇵🇹 No dia 22 de Maio celebra-se um momento aparentemente simples, mas que acabou por marcar a história de uma nova era digital.

07 - "Peaceful Revolution" #art #painting #freedom #ai #25deabril #portugal image
Would a peaceful revolution be possible in a world where power no longer lies in human hands, but in systems of artificial intelligence? At its core, we must remember that AI-driven systems are created by us, humans. Choosing peace or not is, in reality, a human decision when it is encoded in a certain way. The question then becomes which humans? The answer is those who hold power. And who are those in power? They are the ones closest to the creation and easy access to free money. If the systems that structure power are designed to reduce conflict by removing the ability to manipulate, control, and impose, then perhaps violence ceases to be a necessary tool. In that scenario, technology would not be a threat, but a consequence of a more fair system. The Bitcoin Standard system. #art #painting #25deabril #bitcoin #freedom #peacefulrevolution
