Michelangelo spent four years painting the Sistine Chapel working for most of the day with little food in order to paint his masterpiece. Find your flow state, this allows you to become immersed in your work to the point that all else, even hunger, disappears

In the times of the Renaissance, nobody stood a chance of being called an artist without years of hard work on developing their craft. - Put in your 10,000 hours, gain some level of mastery.

Bitcoin Fixes This, but it's not going to do the hard work for you. YOU have to be the one to Meme Your Dreams into Reality! This is Proof of Work, nothing more.

I’m a pleb like you...I have no patron, no formal art training, no gallery, no art world connections, heck I don’t even have a name, I’m a nym! Just one individual working hard at what they are passionate about.

As an artist you can stack sats by creating value. Think of the cost of a canvas and some paints, and the cost of the Mona Lisa, you can do that and transform energy into sats. Earn Bitcoin doing what you love. (You can do this with any talent or skill you have)

@saifedean is a real-world example of pointing your energy at the network, and being rewarded with livilhood. He quit his job teaching in academia because he couldn't teach what he believed in, & brought college-level education in economics to anyone in the world for $100/yr
