Crypto Lore

The year is 2013, the market was looking for something new, exciting & fresh.

Que Dogecoin.

A little history,

The original Doge meme was created back in 2010 which featured Kabosu, a female Shiba Inu dog.
The original photo created such a buzz on the internet that memes of the dog's cute face started to take over.

Kabosu's face would wow the world & help launch one of the most defining memes of the last decade also would inspire the creation of the Dogecoin.

Sadly she passed this year & will be missed at the age of 18. However her legacy lives on in the Dogecoin cyrpto world.

After reading & researching many articles etc I had a concept idea to create a image of a dog sitting in front of books with crypto charts behind.

"The Birth of Bitcoin Pizza Day" is a piece marking a milestone in cryptocurrency history. On May 22, 2010, a groundbreaking event occurred where 10,000 Bitcoins were exchanged for two pizzas, representing the first-ever commercial Bitcoin transaction.

This composition sets the scene in an intimate apartment, surrounded by an array of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency paraphernalia. Neon signs glowing with crypto slogans like "Crypto is the future" fill the space, highlighting the nascent excitement around digital currencies. The central figure, a pioneering spirit of the crypto movement, sits casually with a laptop, symbolizing the digital nature of the transaction, while a pizza box and a pint signify the everyday simplicity and the real-world implications of this digital exchange.

Through this portrayal, the artwork captures the blend of ordinary life and groundbreaking digital finance, commemorating the day that digital currency first demonstrated tangible value in the everyday world.

My assignment was to create a piece based on this article: View article

As I read the article, I found myself thinking - wasn't this (the collapse of FTX) obvious? Wasn't it predictable?

Then, I thought more about the human nature behind it...the somewhat sad but loveable character of Sam Bankman-Fried, the piling on of accolades, the partygoers, the mismanagement, the misdirection, the cling-ons...

And I began to wonder, who were truly the clowns in all of this? SBF and his minions, or the millions who jumped in the clown car with him?

We are all looking for that next, best, thing. Hopefully, without expending too much energy or effort. Let someone else do the work for me...

Fear of clowns is a real thing. Intended to make us laugh, sometimes they highlight anxieties that lie deep inside...

Are we looking in the mirror?
