Is it a print you are selling, not even the original?

This is my process since 2008, which means that the original is a digital file.

The investment-grade physical works are limited to 3 works only and are painted individually different within the edition.

The legacy artworld didn't care for my work cause there was no oil original. Now the NFT people think I am a traditional artist 😂🤷

Regardless it's very limited and all are unique within the limited supply.

Hope that helps 🙏🏼

Hey Bitcoin Forum,

My name is Vesa, and I'm among the first artists to enter the crypto art space in June 2017.

It felt like a late-stage for me to enter crypto in general, as I had been a money activist since 2006, even producing a documentary film out of my own pocket about the fiat system in 2010. Took me a while to get it I guess. Regardless, I was likely the first internationally known artist to enter crypto art back then, having reached an audience of millions before it for other reasons with my art.

The works have been collected by Charles Hoskinson, Charlie Lee, Dr Marwan Al Zarouni, Saeed Al Darmaki, Tone Vays, Willy Woo, hedge funds, exchanges, CEO's and influencers. I've also written about the culture side on News BTC, attended about a hundred conferences as a speaker & presenter since entering.

The third artwork I made is called "I Am Satoshi Nakamoto", which is about how all of us utilizing the tech are Satoshi. It has images laced in from demonstrations all across the planet, in support of the new money movement. The work was soon after the feature image of the first News BTC article about my work back then.

The 80x40in canvas print with acrylics has travelled with me halfway across the world from Las Vegas to Dubai in conferences, and will now be flash auctioned on scarce.city starting tomorrow.

You can bid through this link.

If you would buy it from the website, the price is tied to 1 BTC, and with dollars, the price is 65K USD.

The collector will also receive a Verisart BTC based certificate of authenticity.

The auction has no reserve price, so it might go for a dollar if people won't bid.

Needless to say, I'm terrified of that, as it is a historic work, and we go way back with this physical 1/3 version of it.

I really hope it finds a collector who can appreciate the provenance, story and its place in the BTC citadel.
