ARTICLES PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE
We recently added a page to our website to showcase Articles, Stories & Essays, Ideas, Interviews, and Writing from the frontier of Bitcoin art and culture. This is an incredibly unique and unprecedented time we are living through, and our aim is to archive some of the vision, thought and creative expression of those inspired to engage with this unfolding phenomenon as the world slowly, yet over time steadily, embraces bitcoin.
We’ll be adding new articles weekly and we invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the many varied paths you will travel through these reads.
FEATURED ARTICLE
How Bitcoin Can Help You Follow Your Passion
by The Great Print
Most of us know how this story goes.
As we grow older, we slowly adapt to the expectations of the world around us. Our dreams become smaller. The hobbies we once loved gradually turn into obligations, and the passions that once defined us are pushed aside by the realities of everyday life. This article is for those people. The ones who still carry a dream somewhere inside them, but struggle to make space for it. My belief is that Bitcoin can help create that space.

BMAG Gallery Exhibition: There’s More of Us Than There Are of Them!
BMAG Nashville is currently showing the massive 7×8’ canvas by Mear One, painted live over 3 days at Bitcoin Las Vegas 26.
“"THERE'S MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM!" – my mantra for synergizing the masses through art to inspire revolution. I painted this 7×8' Live Art beast in 13 hours at the Bitcoin Conference 2026 (Las Vegas). I have ridden the storm of so many criticisms ever since I discovered Bitcoin & it has shown me that you can't criticize something you don't understand. The monetary trap we're currently enslaved by is the true conspiracy that Bitcoin slices through.
In the end, none of this is ours anyways, we are just dust in the winds of revolution & change and I choose to surf this wave.” ~ Mear One

PODCAST EPISODE HIGHLIGHT
The Movement of Art w/ Yonat Vaks
Ep. 9 – Gus Grillasca & MadMunky on Bitcoin Art
In this episode, host Yonat Vaks sits down with two artists from the Bitcoin art world, Mexico City-born illustrator and creator Gus Grillasca, and woodworker, chef, DJ, and community-builder MadMunky of 2140 WTF.
A wide-ranging talk on freedom, critical thinking, community, and using creative work to fight back. Together they dig into why visual art and memes cut through propaganda in ways an article never could, how they each found Bitcoin from a place of privacy advocacy and distrust of the state, and why they see a closing window of time to make people reflect on what money really is before cash disappears.
