THE CRYPTOANARCHIST MANIFESTO (2018)
This print contains the full text of The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto by Timothy C. May.
It’s the only motif I have reprinted multiple times - because the manifesto is a foundational text that, in my view, every Bitcoiner should have on their wall.
The visual expands on my first print from 2015 and includes the line “Cypherpunk Future Is Now” a reference to May’s 1988 prediction of a cryptographic future that Bitcoin eventually made real.
That phrase later inspired my artistic name.
Released in October 2018.

I AM SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
Around 2016-17, the public debate about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto became extremely intense. The first “Faketoshis” started to appear, claiming the name for themselves, while journalists published increasingly fantastical stories. Dorian Nakamoto, Craig Wright, endless speculation yet none of it ever produced any real proof.
This atmosphere inspired me to create a visual in which Satoshi is depicted almost like a “god”: a figure whose face we never see, yet whose creation shapes our world.
Around this time, I realized I finally had the opportunity to show my prints at the Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis, our annual October event. I had no expectations - only excitement that it was happening at all. To my surprise, the prints were received with enthusiasm.
Technically, by 2017 I had a much better grasp of screen printing than in 2015, but I still struggled with editioning. This print existed in two color variants - a light blue version and a purple version. I printed 15 of each, but mistakenly numbered the entire run from 1 to 30. As a result, this purple print is marked 24/30, even though only 15 purple prints actually exist.
At the time, I was literally heating my studio with Bitcoin miners.

True. It was imperfect, but honest. Back when Bitcoin felt like workshop, not a market…

INSTITUTE OF CRYPTOANARCHY (2015)
In 2015, I built a small screen-printing workshop in the basement of Paralelní Polis.
That’s where I created my first cypherpunk-themed print.
Technically, it’s full of imperfections.
It was my first 100×70 cm screenprint and you can clearly see I was still learning the craft.
That’s exactly why it matters.
It captures the beginning of my journey into Bitcoin art.
At the time I signed my work “Mfish” — a nickname I used within the Ztohoven collective when we founded Paralelní Polis.
This makes the piece not only the earliest artifact of my Bitcoin-related work, but also the only surviving print signed under this pre-Fischer identity, long before “CypherpunkNow.”
The motif is based on the visual identity I designed for Paralelní Polis — a three-story Bitcoin-only house built around crypto-anarchist ideals: a café, a coworking space, and the Institute of Cryptoanarchy.
Back then, I wasn’t thinking about collectors.
I wasn’t thinking about editions.
I used to give the print away to visitors of Paralelní Polis.
Some of them ended up with Pussy Riot, Amir Taaki, and other cypherpunks who passed through Hackers Congress.
The print was released in October 2015.
Bitcoin was around $250.
Edition: 24 copies
Signed: “Mfish”

Life got in the way in December.
I lost my studio – the landlord turned it into an Airbnb.
Instead of printing, I spent weeks searching for a new space and rebuilding my workshop from scratch. The table is still half assembled, screens leaning against the wall, inks in crates.
This is the current state of things.
So I’m returning to what I had to leave.
CypherpunkNow – The First Decade (2015–2025)
a curated @verisart drop revisiting ten years of my Bitcoin art.
The drop is not just a sale.
It’s a retrospective pulled from my personal archive – early works signed “Mfish”, the Fischer years, and the full CypherpunkNow era.
Each print corresponds to a specific moment in Bitcoin history.
Each was created at a different stage of my own evolution as a screen printer.
From $250 Bitcoin to $110k.
From basement workshop in Paralelní Polis to international collectors.
Over the next days, I’ll revisit each work one by one and share the full story behind it.
If you want to explore the collection in the meantime:

The puzzles come out of the plotter in segments, which I assemble and sign. Then I take a photo for the certificate of authenticity—recorded on the BTC blockchain.

The Cypherpunks Mailing List Puzzle centers around the portraits of 28 cypherpunks who laid the foundations for Bitcoin. Created with AI a year ago, back then, it wasn’t as intelligent as it is now, but they’re still recognizable.

I spent the winter in the warmth of the glass furnace.
Turning crystal glass into a Bitcoin meme.
Handcrafted using traditional glassmaking techniques, I dare say this might be the very first blown glass Bitcoin art ever created.
