On auction is »Bitcoin Forum Metaverse«, 2024, Acrylics on Canvas, 60x80cm/22,6″x31,4″
This artwork was designed by me and 44 other BTCtalk members from July to August this year.
We established everything together - from the overall concept to nearly all details.
It then took me another month and a half to paint the original canvas.
Bitcoin Forum Metaverse is a monument to this board and everything it has so far accomplished and developed, all the information and all the fun it has provided.
It connected many members and companies and launched many products, but it also has its shadier aspects, like spamming and scams and these are also visualized.
Bitcoin Forum Metaverse is the visual beacon to BTCtalk's 15 Anniversary on 22nd November 2024 and will help shed light on various parts of this forum especially to newer members.
And at the dawn of age of AI algorithms, this is one artwork that was created by real brush and paint.
It is meant to show that Bitcoin is an integral part of the real world as is this artwork.
Please take some time and explore all the detail and hidden Easter eggs - there is a LOT going on in there.
To mention just some, there's Satoshi, Sirius and Theymos on bottom right overlooking the place.
Their color is blue, which represents wisdom and flows from them to other parts of the metaverse.
Above them is the slightly scrambled list of most deserved board members and above that unique codes connecting this artwork to previous and following ones.
In the middle there is the general mix of everything from incoming newbies, spammers, contests, charity auctions, red flag fights, service promotion and a lot more.
Above the crowd is the towering shape of the BTC, with its mining/halving column on the right and the much appreciated Local boards on the left.
Left of the center is the Collectibles corner, represented by [M]inerjones, [C]ygan, [K]rogothmanhattan and [Cyrus] on their right overlooking things.
On the far left, furthest from the blue is the red area, with scammer and other trash on the bottom being disposed of and further up shady characters doing shady business.
The rest is up to you to find (or cheat with the reference thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/join-the-bitcoin-forum-metaverse-art-project-with-btc-artist-1dq-5501779)
