"Fiat art vs bitcoin art" may sound silly, and maybe it is silly.

But remember: art and culture often emerge from economic systems.

So advocating for sound art and culture can help us fight the battle on cultural, aesthetic, and philosophical grounds.

It will help us make bitcoin relatable and approachable.

Consider how fake fiat post-modern art is: banana on the wall and toilets worth millions. Because "experts" say so,... So fiat!

Now consider art that touches the soul for its aesthetic beauty, strive for mastery, heroing sacrifice and responsibility.

I believe most people would prefer a return to the sound art movement.

Bitcoin can elicit a new art era. A new sound art and philosophy era carrying with it the principles of bitcoin can usher in a new bitcoin economic system.

I agree wholeheartedly.

And I hope Flemish high art can be restored!

I 100% agree with this. See Sir Roger Scuton’s work on beauty - he recognises the outcome, albeit does not quite grasping the underlying incentives.

I fully agree, we need to go back to artists actually spending time working their craft 👇

Interesting thought. So im wondering what art would look like under a btc standard. I guess it may take the monetary value out of it and art becomes more about appreciating what it is and what it means to someone.

I think its sort of happening with AI generated digital art. Most images have little meaning to most (scrolling through mid journey showcase) but to the person who generated it maybe has a bit more meaning.

Either way a system where we have meaningful art will be good. Meaningful could be measured likely by time put in (PoW) and connection to the person appreciating the art.
