South Seashore Certain
This 12 months BitBasel will takeover your complete Sagamore Lodge in Miami South Seashore for your complete week. The final present I used to be part of with BitBasel was nonetheless held within the Miami Bitcoin Heart in 2019, so returning to exhibit with these pioneers is treasured. I had additionally no thought simply how predictive my keynote again then was going to be about what will be proven now. It’s groundhog day with bananas and a repetition of Dante’s circles of hell, whereas attempting to assist humanity out of inverse mode. A worthy combat. Legends solely 🚀
As loopy as this journey has been because the early days, needing to repeat some fundamentals time and time once more, whereas the ETH scene erodes additional, fortunately there are individuals who see what I do and help the perspective to be part of all of it. A lot gratitude for Lecks and Scarlett for together with me within the 2024 present.
Again to the Future

Again then, I used to be commenting quite a bit on how the world is on fireplace, how we have to repair the financial system, the origin story of creativity, how AI will change most low-end attorneys, accountants, and many others., inside 5 years, and the way the banana fuckery of the artwork world couldn’t presumably sink any decrease. Man, was I incorrect—once more—on that one. It appears the artwork world has discovered new methods to hit all-time low within the Web3 area. At the least then, SuperRare was nonetheless simply taking off with hope. My naive self nonetheless believed again then that blockchain was going to deliver extra transparency to the artwork world. LOL.
Anyhoo, each the divine contact and the banana had been featured in my slides through the presentation, and now they are going to be a part of the 2024 BitBasel as a mixed paintings. The piece feedback on how the West has misplaced its method and explores what we are able to do to revitalize it. The reverse of the good inverse is the avant-garde, and I preserve being right here for it. Finally, this shall be seen by everybody and acknowledged as self-evident. In the intervening time, I gotta double up as an artist in addition to a tradition critic. It’s a bizarre place however somebody’s gotta do it.

Why are we not allowed to ask, in artwork, essentially the most fundamental of questions. Why can’t we be impressed by excellence, magnificence, concord and the spirit? Time after time, we simply revel on this mud like pigs with no future. At the least the pigs derive some vitamins and skincare from their play, while we simply cut back ourselves to animals with no instincts.

Proof of Effort
T(r)opical from 2017 was the primary Miami particular work I ever made. The two/3 re-paint continues to be out there now priced at 1 BTC. I stored the thought I had that a number of the early works will preserve the thread to the 1 BTC value, when purchased from me. After all, I wanted begin making others with out it, as about 10k stays the fixed “fuck you cash” that individuals within the scene use for artwork. These piece are historic although, so in order for you in on that motion, I solute you! I saved it right here as the very last thing, so it’s solely by means of proof of collector effort, that you just even get to them.
Additionally, perpetually respect for Moe Levin, the founding father of the North American Bitcoin Convention, for giving me my first ever spot to showcase my artwork in January 2018. Cool to have a fren additionally in Joel from the Dangerous Crypto Podcast, who’s lurking there within the background 😂 The 1/50 signed print was given to Moe as a present.
At 100k, the 6×3 foot re-paints are nonetheless low cost to what a number of the earliest holistic works will ultimately value, as soon as the mud settles a bit.
