Market Maker : Bitcoin-Trader Inspired Art

Market Maker : Bitcoin-Trader Inspired Art

Here is my first art piece inspired by Bitcoin traders: “Market Maker”

I chose the title “Market Maker” because this image takes on two meanings.

It symbolizes the role of market makers, hovering over the bids and asks in a pose that emits a sense of calm control.

It pays homage to the creator of Bitcoin and the crypto market using Satoshi Nakamoto’s most remarked quotes in a sequence that…

Bitcoin for Any Party: 6 Warhol-inspired soup cans by HODL Crypto

Bitcoin for Any Party: 6 Warhol-inspired soup cans by HODL Crypto

“Bitcoin for any party” is an art series I created taking inspiration from Andy Warhol’s work with Campbell’s soup cans. The 6-piece series shows bitcoin as an ideological commodity with different selling points for 6 groups with different political views.

The main objective is to “sell” bitcoin to each of the 6 groups for different reasons that are uniquely important to them. It is an…

"The Greatest" #1 of 6 of my latest #Bitcoin "Good for any Party" series inspired by Andy Warhol's work. __________ The 6-piexe series shows bitcoin as an ideological #commodity with different selling points for 6 groups with vastly different world views. ____________ It's a exploration of the #variety of relationships people have when realizing why and how bitcoin is valuable to them, from different perspectives: #economic, social, #political, and #emotional _______ The #Republican party in the U.S., led by president #DonaldTrump currently feels very much like they're on the wining team, with the President fostering a grand sense of economic bullishness and nationalism, where about one half of the U.S. has a lot of pride in their country. They feel as if president trump is delivering well on his promises and by supporting him they are Making America Great Again. ____ Although the most controversial president in history, he has exhibited himself as a bold, ambitious president who makes quick decisions, has no time for political correctness and people's feelings, and gets down to business and aggressively pursues trade deals, working around the clock to improve the U.S. economy and bring it back to a level of prosperity and abundance of jobs the generations before us had. ____ Republican voters are very much in favor of free market capitalism and lower taxes, something bitcoin can provide users with much better than the $USD. We have no freedom to choose whether or not to use the USD as payment to the government who imposes hundreds of forms of taxes on US citizens. _____ There is nothing free about the USD. It was imposed upon the people and is fully controlled by the #FederalReserve which is a #private bank with no reserves. _____ In contrast, bitcoin is a true free market currency, such as #gold, and the price is entirely determined by markets. With bitcoin, your purchasing power is determined by the cryptocurrency market and number of users who choose to use it. _____ With government money, you are forced to use it and those who control it create it out of thin air, when they create #debt! Bitcoin is backed by #math and the world's largest computer network. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqLHoKbACqf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19s2pv4pim5rt

"Liberating" #4 of 6 of my latest #Bitcoin "Good for any Party" series inspired by Andy Warhol's work. __________ #Libertarianism is an ideology I identify with, but as an #artist I feel my job is to explore relationships, alter my #perspective to view my own obsessions: ___________ #art, #crypto, #government #banks. __________ This series shows bitcoin, as an ideological #commodity with different selling points for 6 groups with vastly different world views. ____________ It's a exploration of the #variety of relationships people have when realizing how bitcoin is valuable to them, from both #economic/#logical and political/emotional perspectives. _______ We can sedwhat is constant across groups, how the #marginalized counterparts of #mainstream groups manifest more extreme relationships to Bitcoin's fundamentals. ___________ Some artists are afraid to touch #politics at risk of running into issues with their right to #freespeech by those who only want free speech for words, phrases and pronouns they agree with. ___________ Free speech includes freedom for ideas you disagree with to be spoken without fear of censorship. ___________ An idea, verbal or visual, void of the threat of violence is not harassment. It is free speech. ________ #Libertarianism, we will find in the next US election will play a bigger role in mainstream politics and will be taken more seriously, with Bitcoin playing a key role in a massive growing movement to take back our right to use sound, non-government money and all the economic freedom that comes along with it. __________ #Libertarians support the liberty to choose what money you want to use and be in complete control of where it goes and how you store It. _________ Banks have all your information and can easily censor you if they don't like what you want to do with your money. _____ A large subset of Libertarians follow the #Austrian school of economics, which limits government interference in the economy. _____ Governments and banks use debt-based money systems and propaganda to keep our energies for activism and change focused on the wrong issues, and the wrong enemies. ____ To keep them in power. ____ https://www.instagram.com/p/BqITIGIAGfs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=46ris5ve0wa3

"Progressive" #3 of 6 of my latest #Bitcoin "Good for any Party" series inspired by Andy Warhol's work. __________ The #Democrat party in the US places a higher value on #openborders and the ideals of #global acceptance for people living in less fortunate areas. _________ Democratic #voters and #politicians are generally much more #progressive in regards to social change, moving with the changes of time, and adapting to pro-actively take on important issues like public #healthcare, #education, and taking measures to combat #climatechange and protect the #environment ________ Voting, or "fighting" (aka political activism) in the interest of the greater good of the #collective has been the prominent thread headlining democratic campaigns in recent years. __________ In the 2016 election, the 3 campaign slogans for democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton included: #STRONGERTOGETHER #FIGHTINGFORUS #FORTHERESTOFUS _________ These slogans all unite people as a collective, fighting for a better future with more opportunity for immigrants, minority groups, the lower class. _________ There is a sense that common people are being oppressed by the wealthy, with the growing gap between them and those less fortunate. People want to take back what's theirs, leveling the playing groin with more equality of opportunity. _________ #BITCOIN has no borders. #bitcoin is bringing about progress and social change, bringing economic Power back to the people so they can start crafting their future outside the control of corrupt #politicians. __________ With Bitcoin we have the strength in numbers to take back what's ours. #viresinnumeris ______________ Bitcoin transcends many of the ideas that divide us, giving us common ground to unite behind - a better #money for the people. _________ Canvases & Pins available at ❗️shop.hodlcrypto.co ❗️ _________ Look for #hodlcrypto this December at the #artBasel events __________ #bitcoinart #campellssoup #politicalart #democraticparty #hillaryclinton #progressivism #socialchange #welfare #pololitics #socialism #democrats #democraticsocialism https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFY0V6A4nF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=btub759psejg

"Non-conforming" #4 of 6 of my latest #Bitcoin "Good for any Party" series inspired by Andy Warhol's work. The Pepe the frog meme is the most #popular, #controversial, #loved, and #hated meme in internet history. ________ Since 2013 and especially during the 2016 election, Pepe memes spread virally. There are more version of pepe than any other meme. ____ Starting on a comic, being memed by members of online communities like #4chan and #reddit, pepe has been used to express reactions and spread ideas virally over the internet. ___________ Like a #frog, pepe lives in both our #digital & #physical worlds, hopping in and out and acting as a host for the entry of ideas from the physical to digital and vice-versa. _________ Keke has been seen as a #hatesymbol by the less informed but Keke is also used to spread acceptance and love... And everything in between. __________ Like a frog can spontaneously change sex from male to female and back, pepe can spontaneously change from one side of an issue to the other, slipping through the grip of anyone who wants to categorize and #censor the meme. __________ Keke does not conform, can not be contained or categorized. Pepe is used to spread #positivity and #love by those who spread the good in this world. _________ Pepe is used to make us laugh, to give us new info, concepts and world events. To help us understand things from the perspective of others. _________ Like Pepe, bitcoin is both used for legal and illegal activities, by good people and evil people. Its backed by a decentralized community who does not conform to using only the money presented to us in our digital world. ________ Like #epe represents a transition between the water and air, two states of matter, #Bitcoin is used in both our physical and digital worlds, and most importantly, is worthy of meme. The dankest of memes. #Superdank. _________ Bitcoin transcends many of the ideas that divide us, giving us common ground to unite behind - a better #money for the people. _________ Look for #hodlcrypto this December at the #artBasel events __________ #bitcoinart #campellssoup #politicalart #dankmemes #pepethefrog #kek_ https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDF6YUgWwQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12yxqy5srkt2w

"Non-controllable" #6 of 6 of my latest #Bitcoin "Good for any Party" series inspired by Andy Warhol's work. The Cypher punk movement of crypto anarchists believed that they could use computers and cryptography to create anonymous systems that are necessary for free societies. The cypherpunks believe there can not be a surveillance state that's a free state. So they used cryptography to create digital privacy. Privacy is vital for personal freedom. You can thank the #revolutionary Cypher punks for bitcoin! _________ Bitcoin transcends many of the ideas that divide us, giving us common ground to unite behind - a better money for the people. _________ Look for #hodlcrypto this December at the #artBasel events __________ #cryptoanarchy #revolutionary #bitcoinart #campellssoup #politicalart #privacy #anonymity #activism #anarchy #anarchocapitalism #ancap https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBQuicAVo-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ahqnkewtx29i

For a bank, being insolvent means it cannot repay its depositors, because its liabilities are greater than its assets. ... This can lead to a domino effect – a bankruptcy at one bank can lead to a 'cascade' of defaults, bank runs and insolvencies as people panic. The truth is, all banks are insolvent. Only the fastest runners get their deposits back. ---------- What would you do in the event of a #bankrun? Be your own bank #HODLCRYPTO - For those who may be under the impression that this is a thing of the past, look at the latest 3 examples: #Cyprus in 2013 #Greece in 2015 #India in 2016 #Venezuela in 2018 - #centralbanking #fractionalreserve #fictionalreserve #federalreserve #hodlcrypto #bitcoin #cryptoart #propaganda (at Federal Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpw92wygikD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n5buf8z0s72n
