"Nothing can exist without order. Nothing can come into being without chaos."
This quote by Albert Einstein inspired me deeply. 'Bitcoin - Born from Chaos' tells how this quote applies not only to the workings of the universe, but also to the greatest renaissance.
At the heart of this artwork is a figure whose face is unrecognizable. It appears behind a gravestone and in front of a stone monument with inscriptions.
The gravestone is adorned with the inscription "∞/21,000,000" and the words: IN LOATHSOME MEMORY OF FIAT, INFLATION AND THEFT BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD BY LIES AND INTRIGUE ON AUGUST 15, 1971 AND REDEEMED FROM IT ON JANUARY 3, 2009.
Taking root from the soil of the grave, a plant grows in deep orange and makes its way in all directions. It is supposed to represent the Bitcoin organism, which germinates from the remains of the dead fiat system.
There is a lot of text in my drawing. I would like to explain the sections in more detail below.
I engraved the Bitcoin whitepaper on the left half of the stone plate with extreme precision. Impossible without my 0.1mm fineliner.
On the right is the Cypherpunk's Manifesto, published by Eric Hughes in 1993. For me, these two publications form the cornerstone of the greatest renaissance of our age and have sown the seeds that have been growing out of a dying system, characterized by chaos and problems.
The upper third deals with the raw hex version of the Genesis block. If Bitcoin were the universe, the Genesis Block would represent the Big Bang. After this moment, there is no more change of direction. The die is cast.
Part of this Raw Hex version is the defining and underlying message of the Bitcoin network, Satoshi Nakamoto's 'Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks', who immortalized this New York Times headline from January 3, 2009 in the Genesis Block.
If there is one message that moves me the most, and as a bitcoiner I wish more people would take it seriously or at least think about it, it's this: 'Inflation is worse than people think and Bitcoin better than they believe'.
Last but not least, as always, I have included my signature, the block time of the first and last pencil stroke.
