Freedom Money closed the AudioVisual trilogy in September 2020: speech, press, religion, and money. Bitcoin makes the fourth freedom real. This piece set the formula I still work from.

'Bitcoin is gold 2.0 with wings.' I took Tyler Winklevoss at his word and animated the case: more verifiable, more portable, more divisible, more scarce than gold.

Quantitative Hardening is the opposite of what the Fed does. Bitcoin cuts its inflation rate 50% every four years, and I animated that monetary policy halving by halving, from the genesis block forward.

Rarible meant permissionless minting, no gatekeepers, which is the Bitcoin ethos anyway. Things That Give the Dollar Value asked what actually backs the dollar. It hasn't been gold since 1971.

'Virus en Numeros' twists 'Vires in Numeris', strength in numbers. Alex Grey's godheads, the They Live banker mask, and a COVID cell collide in an animation about bitcoin spreading node by node.

The bitcoin time traveler post painted a bleak future. I painted a better one. Satoshi's Citadel became a fully animated piece, tokenized as a single-edition NFT on SuperRare in March 2020.

Using a combination of bank note and digital painting styles, this art piece presents a new take on the proliferation of Bitcoin and its inherent duality, representing both the creation and destruction of global money systems.

This piece packs a visual punch with references to bitcoin and eastern mythology. The piece uses analogies to highlight the importance of bitcoin as a money system and the implications of bitcoin's mass adoption on the central banking system.

I stumbled onto the singularity concept in 2011 and it never let go. This piece asks what happens when AI runs its own networks and its own money. I'm still torn.

I based this piece on Argentina's 100 peso note featuring Eva Perón. The peso gets devalued by corruption, debt, and runaway inflation. The people of Argentina need Bitcoin.

JFK was the last US president I believe truly fought the Federal Reserve and the shadow government. Dissenters and Elect the Dead are built from the speech that proves it.

Two political parties. Six information centers. There's a difference between selecting options from a list and choosing what you think is right. That's the illusion of choice.

Before 'orange pill' was common crypto vernacular, I drew Dr. Satoshi, a vintage patent-medicine ad reworked for Bitcoin. The old tonics were fraudulent. This cure actually works.

Isis in an anonymous mask, standing on the Bank of International Settlements as it burns. People who value freedom created Bitcoin. This piece shows why they venerate it.

A crypto sugar skull born from living Día de Muertos in Mexico. This 2018 piece is a time capsule from the HODLCRYPTO days. The art holds up. Some of the coins don't.

KnownOrigin let me mint editions instead of 1/1s. I released 27 works there between September 2019 and April 2021, including Dr. Satoshi's Orange Pill translated into Chinese, Italian, Polish, and Turkish.

September 2019: I minted my first NFT, Tasty Bitcoin, on SuperRare. Twenty-nine 1/1 pieces followed over two years, from the Anonymous Leader series to A Better Future.

Before Lucho Poletti signed the work, HODLCRYPTO did. The 2017–2019 era: the first five posters, the first prints, and the start of full-time Bitcoin propaganda art.
