GM. In January 2019, French street artist Pascal Boyart, otherwise known as Pboy, created a mural in Paris inspired by Eugène Delacroix's 1830 painting "Liberty Leading the People."

This contemporary street version depicted figures in yellow vests, symbolizing the "Gilets Jaunes" protesting against economic inequality and high living costs in France. Pboy embedded a puzzle within the mural containing 0.26 #BTC as a prize for whoever could solve it. The puzzle was designed to require physical presence at the mural's location to decipher the clues and was funded by Bitcoin enthusiast Alistair Milne. ​

The mural highlighted the intersection of art, political activism, and bitcoin, engaging the public in both the appreciation of street art and the exploration of freedom tech. The puzzle was solved in 2019.
