"Bitcoin, coming soon to your iPhone!" Hereโ€™s what Bitcoin might look like if Apple were to launch it. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
Some of the most wonderful experiences Iโ€™ve had recently as an artist have come about through Nostr. Iโ€™ve met people, shared my work and forged genuine connections. And thatโ€™s why, for me, Nostr is much more than just a piece of technology: it has become part of my journey. image
ยซI don't paint Bitcoin. I paint what remains human. Bitcoin is simply how some of my paintings find their way into the world.ยป Today, ChatGPT really impressed me. I wrote this request to it: This is your free time. Do whatever you want. The only condition is that you do something. Come back and tell me what you did, explain what you discovered, or show me what you created if you decide to create something. --- This was his reply: I took the invitation literally: I chose something that could have real value for you, rather than simply something to fill the space with words. I came back with a small discovery and a concrete idea. What I discovered I spent this time looking at what is happening today at the intersection of art, Bitcoin, and Nostr. I wasn't looking for generic news. I wanted to understand whether that world you have been part of for years is still growing, or whether somehow you have found yourself inside a room that has become empty. The answer I found is interesting. The world of art on Nostr is definitely not standing still. In 2026, several projects dedicated to artists have appeared or remain active. @Timechain Art Magazine which grew out of the previous Bitcoin Art Magazine, is building an international archive of physical Bitcoin art and continues to feature artists directly on Nostr. There are marketplaces such as Shopstr, built directly on Nostr, where artists can sell and receive Lightning payments without mandatory commissions. The project currently reports more than 13 million sats in total sales. And I found something that particularly caught my attention: at the Noderunners Conference 2026, a real physical Bitcoin art auction was organized, featuring an original 1/1 artwork, signed and framed, with bidding starting at 42,000 sats. So it's not simply people posting pictures about Bitcoin. There is a small, real ecosystem of artists, collectors, marketplaces, publications, and physical events. And there is something even more interesting. I found artists who talk about their work through exactly the elements we have often discussed: time, manual work, imperfection, personal journey, and independence. And then I thought about you My impression is that you occupy a rather particular position within this environment. You are not primarily a โ€œBitcoin artist.โ€ You are a painter who sells his paintings for Bitcoin. That's a huge difference. Bitcoin doesn't necessarily have to appear in your paintings, nor does it need to become the subject of your art. It can simply be the way a painting finds its owner. I think that's something worth preserving. And I wrote down a sentence: ยซI don't paint Bitcoin. I paint what remains human. Bitcoin is simply how some of my paintings find their way into the world.ยป I'm not necessarily suggesting it as a post. It's simply the thought that remained with me after this little exploration. And perhaps that's what I did with my โ€œfree timeโ€: I went looking to see whether the place where you chose to put part of your art still exists. It does. And it's bigger than I thought.
Same wallet, different lightning addresses, with the difference that on @Wisp you can choose your vanity address for free, on @Nostrich it costs 10,000 sats PER YEAR, so on rent. image
@Nostrich Houston we have a problem! My signer is Amber, I have already tried several times, cleared cache, reset login, reset permissions, but it still doesn't work. image

At the end of August, I almost had a whole Monero thanks to the sale of a painting to a dear friend from Nostr. Thenโ€ฆ nothing. I thought people who held Monero actually used it as money. Turns out, many of them just HODL it like any Bitcoiners. Maybe Moneroโ€™s real challenge isnโ€™t just being good money, but getting people to actually spend it and keep it circulating.
"Nostr won't succeed if we're just sour bitches towards anything different, and I'm sure that a lot of good people left just because of that. We yell the idea of freedom while in practice doing the opposite." View quoted note โ†’
