I thought it would be a good time to post about my thoughts on ‘Autumnal Cannibalism’ and it’s relation to #bitcoin as the conference hangover kicks in.

I’ve seen a lot of people in #bitcoin use Dali’s persistence of memory as a metaphor for time and #bitcoin within the space but in my opinion ‘Autumnal Cannibalism’ is much closer to the mark.

Most studies talk of Civil war being played out in in the backdrop and timing of the paintings construct and rightly so but it’s Dali’s stance on this that is most interesting. He is merely the bystander and watches on like most of us do as the two sides eat each other.

After viewing the recent conference this painting suddenly has new a delightful new meaning for me. We plebs stand sidelined whilst the characters in the backdrop eat themselves up. The watching suddenly becomes more interesting. We are watching this painting being brought to life all over again but it could oh so easily become a different composition. Are we making the same mistakes as before. We all dream of this new world with bitcoin but it’s also slightly surreal as it’s hard to imagine. My first thought was maybe the menu needs another look.
