Amazing work @BtcArtSociety
Some wait for the catalyst, others become the catalyst. @BtcArtSociety was present stronger than ever with the amazing support from @johnkarp J.F.K. @NFCsummit and @flakoubay - absolute legends Art on Bitcoin elevated through the paradigm shifting works of @CyberSeaNFT โ€œCode is Artโ€ and @BitArt21โ€™s Mosaic - Top tier musuem next? Much love for big bro @AdamWeitsman who soldiered through a long keynote by @Yaraspucia_ and my fireside chat with @CyberSeaNFT on preserving art on Bitcoin @TheScotchFox for the awesome hugs @redbeardnft for being a relentless force of nature @LazerErik for repping ordinals @JoeOrdinals for pushing culture on Bitcoin @Richi0118 for being a badass artist And many more I surely missed.

Bitcoin Art Society truly carrying the Bitcoin art torch.
DAY 2 // NFC LISBON @NFCsummit ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น A full day of conversations around art, culture, and permanence. Today, our cofounder and chief curator @Yaraspucia_ spoke about preserving art and culture on Bitcoin, why permanence matters, and how it changes the way we think about digital work over time. @SergeSats and @CyberSeaNFT continued that conversation through the lens of Bitcoin art, exploring authorship, permanence, and what it means to create within systems designed to last. Thereโ€™s a growing sense that the foundations of a lasting Bitcoin art movement are starting to take shape in real time.

Did you mint the Mosaic?
On-chain generative art is picking up again. Minted the Mosaic by @BitArt21. The size of each Mosaic piece (in pixels) is determined by the amount of sats (BTC) the minter sends, and the seeds of the art are the specific sat numbers in the mint transaction. Two mints with different amounts of sats, and the distribution of sats sent so far in the 224 mints.

The Mosaic could be the greatest artistic unraveling since Davinci
One sat. One tile. One permanent mark. Not a picture of Bitcoin. A work made from Bitcoin.

Acquired โ€œDeus Ex Machina #390 from the @CyberSeaNFT collection. Shoutout to my cofounder @Yaraspucia_ our early days building @BtcArtSociety when she put me onto to his work and has been deeply aligned with Cybers work for a while. Every line, every byte, every instructionโ€ฆ inscribed into permanence. a machine, a message, a moment executed on the hardest ledger humanity has ever created.

Satoshis look like this.
Satoshis look like this. Nothing added. Nothing altered. Just Bitcoin, observed in mosaic form.

Artwork is meant to live forever so why would you create it on a napkin instead of real canvasโ€ฆ?
GM ๐ŸŸงโ›“๏ธ Are NFTs a SCAMโ‰๏ธ Most images are NOT stored on the blockchain but are actually stored OFF-CHAIN on a server or IPFS, and tokens (NFTs) with links to images (or other digital media) are often stored on PRIVATE networksโ—๏ธ ๐Ÿšจ This means that there are two major points of failure: โฌ‡๏ธ 1๏ธโƒฃ The place that stores images (or other digital asets) could shut down at any moment and instead of an NFT people are left with error page 2๏ธโƒฃ Company that launched private blockchain that stores tokens (links to images and other digital assets) goes out of business or pivots and decides to shut down their network causing you to lose access to your tokens that hold links to images (or other types of digital assets) โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ‘€ Whatโ€™s the solution?! โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” โ—๏ธ You need to make sure that images (or other types of digital assets) are actually stored directly on a decentralized blockchain โ€ผ๏ธ This is why all roads lead to BITCOIN and ORDINALS ๐ŸŸง โ›“๏ธ Ordinals, unlike NFTs, store all images (or other forms of digital assets) directly on Bitcoin blockchain - the most decentralized blockchain out there. Because of this, artwork is secure, no one can remove it and there are no links to outside storage servers or IPFSโ€™ Iโ€™m pretty sure that people who launch random pump and dump NFT collections donโ€™t care about it, because their only goal is to make some profit and move on. However, Iโ€™m surprised that artists are ok with selling their artwork to collectors, knowing that it might disappear at any momentโ€ฆ I understand that some of the artists might still not realize how NFTs really work, but itโ€™s not a new thing, so they should definitely learn what NFTs really are. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ‘€ Artwork is meant to live forever so why would you create it on a napkin instead of real canvasโ€ฆ? โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Here are a few projects that already utilize Ordinals to preserve artwork on Bitcoin blockchain: ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ @BtcArtSociety | @Yaraspucia_ @SergeSats | @elmosaves | @BitArt21 ๐ŸŽจ @OneLoveArtDAO | @Jeni_Pepen | @YuZapata3SC ๐ŸŸง You can find more artwork currently minting on launchpads like: ๐Ÿ”ธ @trygamma ๐Ÿ”ธ LunaLauncher (@LunaticsBTC) ๐Ÿ”ธ @OrdXcom ๐Ÿ”ธ @OrdDropz ๐Ÿ”ธ @trio_xyz

Over 1 BTC now lives inside Mosaic by BitArt. Not spent. Not lost. Converted to its permanent form. Every sat becomes a tile. Every action becomes part of the image. This is BitArt inside the system watching it resolve. So how does 1 BTC resolve into form? Full article โฌ‡๏ธ

BAS really pushing the boundaries
The Mosaic was not added to Bitcoin. It was already there. Every satoshi is a tile. Every UTXO a new piece of the mosaic.
