This is me doing a live video walk-through of the @BitcoinMagazine article during the auction livestream - The explainer starts at about 22 minutes in (this link should take you to that timestamp)
1/n Such an honor to talk #Art & #Bitcoin under a sound money standard with @saifedean on his seminar today. Here's a thread to enjoy along with the episode.
Let's go down the rabbit hole of Fiat Art, Ethereum art, & #BitcoinArt.
1st, "Saif’s recipe for creating great art"👇
2/n Artists should cultivate a very low time preference and the patience to work for months, years, or even decades, for the completion of masterpieces meant to survive for centuries.
3/n Make Art & Music that speaks to the soul and awakens thoughts to higher callings than the mundane grind of daily life

Difficulty Adjustments: 3,437 (blue )
Reward Eras: 34 (purple )

This ring contains all of the mathematical equations found in the Bitcoin white paper.
28/n Layer 14: Calendar

1/n
Follow me down the #Bitcoin rabbit hole in this tweet thread and we'll break down all 21 layers in the Bitcoin Full Node Sculpture 4.0 A Cypherpunk Chronometer.
2/n The Bitcoin Full Node Sculpture is a cypherpunk chronometer, designed to work as a fully-functioning bitcoin full node and block explorer. Modeled after the ancient navigation tool, the astrolabe, it acts as a compass for the humble bitcoiner to set to true north.
3/n Visualizing the clock-and-calendar-like nature of Bitcoin stretching over 132 years, the sculpture represents a digital metronome ticking endlessly in the halls of time. This cyber-metronome ticks at a steady pace of “every 10 minutes,” in perfect harmony with Bitcoin time.
