"PUSHBACK" 

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

The metaphor for the bull and bear are commonly used in stock exchange as the positive and negative movements for the value of a specific stock or the market in general. It could be seen as the capitalist bull fighting the communist bear but these days it can easily also translate to be the battle between new and old money - as in crypto vs. fiat currency. The graph in the piece is a recent actual Bitcoin curve. You could also imagine the golden paint nuggets as the bull pushing the new coin up the curve.

The Split

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Tally sticks are the oldest form of controlling the stability of exchange. In a fully decentralized monetary system, there is no central authority that regulates the monetary base. Instead, currency is created by the nodes of a peer-to-peer network. The Bitcoin generation algorithm defines, in advance, how currency will be created and at what rate. Any currency that is generated by a malicious user that does not follow the rules will be rejected by the network and thus is worthless. The split of bitcoin from 25 to 12.5 illustrated by tally sticks is the central theme of this piece.

I Am Satoshi Nakamoto

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or persons who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, he also devised the first blockchain database. In the process he was the first to solve the double spending problem for digital currency. He is the Banksy of the Blockchain world so, in a sense, all of us using this technology are Satoshi now. Vesa would like to make it clear he is not Satoshi in any other sense other than being inspired what he created.

LIGHT CREDIT

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Competition is the backbone of old system. The new one is about pulling people in though inclusivity. As money today is ones and zeroes, you could argue that it is ultimately just particles of light. For example, the traditional currency exchange methods charge you rip off prices just to convert your assets to another when you travel. Even if what is being built here is by no means perfect yet, the directon is clear. Like Bruce Lee said: 'Be like water my friend’ - increase the liquidity.

The Benefit Grid

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Since social media has taken the world by a storm people have contributed their content and value for mostly to the benefit of the shareholders of those companies. Steem is changing that through blockchain technology at a similar speed. It is simple. Create content that people like and get paid. This piece has not only most of the social media symbols embedded but also Fiat currency symbols as it is like a catch all benefit grid in a meritocratic way. As a creative this has Art For Crypto's full support.

Unfortunately my trade platform does not yet support Steem so I can't trade these with it directly now.

X-GEN (Decentralized)

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

The generation X has been taking a lot of shit lately for their so called laziness and self entitlement. This is often from the generations who created a faulty central banking system and made their success with little regard to it's impact on the coming generations and the planet as a whole. Those with their life ahead of them need to be motivated by new paradigms, not be inspired by what is now dysfunctional. It is now the millennials who are innovating new systems and marrying a new kind of ecological ethos to their business practices. This piece is about turning survival into thriving on a more holistic level.

Hello

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

In nature beauty and potential resources often trap you as lunch. The digital world is no different and likely if you have participated on social media or email, you have already been contacted by a bot in the form of a beautiful woman and / or wealthy handsome man offering you incredible things. AI will have a big impact on trading, once automated traders will eventually make it impossible for a human to keep with what is going on.

GOLDRUSH

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Many of us now know the other way of owning cryptocurrency is through digital mining. The crypto market is also widely referred to as the new goldrush. This piece dedicated to those fully immersed in the craft pioneering a new world with much less bloodshed and general harm than the metal one.

Trustless

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Trustless is a word that used to carry a lot of negative connotations in the financial world. It has turned to signal the opposite in blockchain as the technology removes the necessity of trust through code and disincentivizes bad conduct. The lock in the center is an old brand called Bull Dog.

SILK ROAD

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

With great freedom and power comes great responsibility. Anonymity and going beyond national laws give an opportunity to not only to do what we feel is right but can also dampen the inner voice of reason within us. Once the inner animal goes wild, we often find out the consequences when it is already too late. The piece is about having a vision for your life. How to run with power but cause no deliberate harm - in order to become our best selves.

Part inspired by a Francois Nel photograph at a camels race in Dubai.

FORK AND FLIP

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Both the August 2017 Bitcoin fork as well as the potential flippening are hot topics in the crypto world currently. The speculation is on overdrive, security measures are being taken and opportunity has the bear's ass backed to the hockey stick. The bull’s fork has however already penetrated the next node. Both events will have an immense impact on the future of this global trade.

What Color Lamborghini Should I Get

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

'Bro. What Color Lambo should I get?' is a question often asked in the trading realm. The crypto world is undoubtedly also about fun, opportunity and fulfilled dreams as well as all of the previous topics. Personally, the artist has his eyes set on a custom paint job Tesla.

BALANCER

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

During a strong bull maybe you got all the toys. Went to all the places you had dreamt of. Spent like a maniac without saving. Didn't do the right back ups. Overlooked an obvious angle. Ate one too many cheeseburgers, drowned in gin & tonics and got sloppy. Maybe just played it cool but are now at the receiving end of an act majeure. We get to play but no bull lives forever. The world is a big self balancing machine.

A particularly good reminder on the wall of a soaring or long winning company / trader.

CHASING ICONS

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Tiberius hardly could have imagined the current pursuit of the perfect ICO and crypto nodes were out of his reach. The famous coin in the background is called the tribute penny, shown to Jesus during his 'Render unto Caesar" speech. The modern pursuit of icons are now digital ones to the point of chasing Pokemon on the streets. Redefining value is a daily routine to all involved and each coin is someone's full time job at a trade. Competition certainly drives innovation but in truth, it is collaboration and competition together, that create lasting icons. It is lonely at the top if you didn't bring anybody with you. The one to rule them all, beyond Satoshi, might be the concept itself.

TURING'S SHARE

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Alan Turing  is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. It has been estimated that this work during WW2 shortened the war in Europe by more than two years and saved over fourteen million lives. As homosexuality was still illegal at that point he was offered a choice of chemical castration or prison. He chose to take his own life with cyanide.

Ethereum runs on a Turing-complete virtual machine, which was founded by Vitalik Buterin. It has a lot of the hype of the crypto world behind it as it functions as much more than a currency. This piece is a dedication for the genius of Mr. turing and all that can be founded on the ensuing platforms.

Unbanked

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

The importance of a thing can easily be measured by it's relevance to many people. 39% of the world's population remains without access to a bank account. Cryptocurrencies are changing this at a fast pace in places where fiat currencies are deflating and people cannot do even basic trade to survive. However many places people have access to a phone. Bitcoin has already had a big impact in Eastern European countries, South America, Africa, Russia etc. The potential of blockchain technology to lift people out of poverty is immense. 

The piece incorporates photographs from recent protests from around the world.

Farting Unicorn

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

We all know at least one guy or gal who did not really get to know their shit, crapped out a money making scheme and forgot to put in the hours and / or genius. There is a fair amount of pretty loose future crypto bubble cash floating around right now but this piece is a reminder that life is about more than just money and integrity is not cheap. We reckon a few VC's might chuckle a bit seeing this, as some fools have likely, mistakenly, taken them as a money farting unicorn.

Reset To 11

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

The central banking system easily comes across as the Spinal Tap of our time. The downright bizarre of our era don't have strange hairdos and wear spandex while rocking out. They work in and around the monetary system. We humbly suggest we reset a lot of this and turn our global potential all the way back up to 11. Blockchain technology will play a big role in this and has offered many of us hope of a more balanced existence.

Soldier Of Fortune

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Vesa was listening to The Bitcoin podcast and the idea thrown around was about Bitcoin being perceived dead so many times that it's like South Park's Kenny. Always keeps coming back to life. Never in our recorded history has creating currencies been in the hands of the general public and many of the early pioneers have suffered the consequences. Often by their actions but there is a lot of talk behind the scenes. As Andreas Antonopoulos says: "We are experiencing international currency wars on a large scale." Much of bitcoin's history, even if it is just the first app on a larger technology, still suffers from it being associated to the dark web, drugs and the silk road However it is important to remember all currency is now digital and most terrorist dealings and criminal activity is still being conducted through dollars, oil and other traditional forms of exchange. The balanced perspective is that bitcoin is technology and will be used how people choose to use it.

It's now 1.18am on the 2nd of August 2017 in London as this is being uploaded during the fork so the split eyes are kind of obvious in terms of being relevant for the time.

Hybrid

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Perhaps you don't anymore identify with nation states, dogmatic religions or the political system. You might look for piece of mind in meditation and plant teachers. The new language you want to learn is code. The fact that you love your laptop does not mean you like wondering in the forest any less. Travel is no longer restricted to going places physically and long form podcasts are your news source. The blockchain and crypto offer you hope of fulfilling the kinds of dreams weren't thought to you on TV or school. Films are yet to catch up with this new class of human - a hybrid really. Not someone who has completely forgotten the past nor it's relevance but already feels like they are living in a brighter future the rest are just hearing about.

Elon Musk nailed it by saying: "I don't want to save the world but just want to think about the future and not feel sad."

Red Eye

ABOUT THIS MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Since getting on the blockchain and crypto train Vesa did not sleep properly in a month. Apparently this is a common thing among people who get sucked into the vortex of it all.   So many different opportunities become available, financial fates are changed, hope in the human endeavor stored but also many nefarious traps to be aware of. It's like the first day of school when you realize the environment is much larger than the initial premise of learning about the subjects. This piece is intended for those who recognize the red eye factor. No matter what angle you approach it from.
