Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: bracek on April 03, 2013, 11:37:13 PM it would be nice if it always had a price of exactly 1 bitcoin :)
effectively inflating the money supply from 21 000 000 to 21 000 001 Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: Charm Quark on April 04, 2013, 10:05:43 AM It looks all wobly and stuff. I'd pay BTC0.5 but only if it came with a frame that emulated the coin shape.

The value for this painting comes from its status as the first painting ever made, devoted to the Bitcoin. I think it's potential worth is much more than 1 BTC.I can include a simple frame for free.

The value of the painting comes from what people are happy to pay, I could stencil the exact picture you have done for a fraction of the price I dont think it's worth much more than 1 BTC, if that at all... £100 on a canvas sheet is a hell of a lot Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: giantdragon on April 06, 2013, 04:45:01 PM I could stencil the exact picture you have done for a fraction of the price But your painting will not be the first painting ever devoted to the Bitcoin!Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: sega01 on April 08, 2013, 11:23:43 PM Ladies and gentlemen,
I give to you the first painting of a Bitcoin, created on a laptop touchpad, for the sole purpose of sale. Because you may dispute it as the second-ever painting solely for Bitcoin, and because of advances in efficiency, we are able to offer this painting at 0.5BTC. That's not an auction. Just a flat, half-Bitcoin, to give this masterpiece to the world. Unwatermarked painting (in the same resolution) will be send via link in a PM, or dedicated into the public domain and posted here on the forum. Humbly, Teran https://i.imgur.com/lLzj3IB.png I do realize giantdragon's painting is much better. More artistic. Physical and tangible. I wish by no means to hijack his thread. But perhaps my painting, made with the humble and open source GIMP, will win over your heart.

Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: bitsalame on April 11, 2013, 02:25:45 AM satire is the lowest form of wit Especially when it is obviously a plagiarized version of the seven legged spider.Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: loszhor on April 11, 2013, 04:31:34 PM Taking it at face value your sales pitch is that this is the first painting of a Bitcoin symbol. Going off that you also stated "As I know" which is just another way of saying that you think it is. With Bitcoins being around as long as they have how can you prove your claim that some other person has already painted a Bitcoin symbol already?
Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: giantdragon on April 11, 2013, 07:40:38 PM how can you prove your claim that some other person has already painted a Bitcoin symbol already? It is impossible to prove... I just cannot find similar painting in any public place (Google, Bitcointalk, Bitmit).Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: Malawi on April 12, 2013, 07:25:37 PM satire is the lowest form of wit No, that title is reserved to the act of bidding below a former bid. Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: giantdragon on April 13, 2013, 02:34:11 AM Auction extended to April 20, UTC 20:00.
BTW, starting price is more than two times cheaper due to recent Bitcoin exchange rate plunge! Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: Sander on April 17, 2013, 05:43:01 PM No offence, but it looks a bit shoddy quick and simple, all lines are crooked. Painted only for the 'first bitcoin painting ever' gimmick and expecting it to be worth something without putting effort in it.

I am not a professional painter and this item is the first in my life, so don't blame for the quality ;)Anyways, your are right, I believe that my painting can have some value as it is the first painting ever devoted to the Bitcoin.

Move on. Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: giantdragon on April 18, 2013, 04:17:39 AM No it doesn't have any value. Absolutely none? How much are you ready to pay for it?Move on. Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: Noitev on April 18, 2013, 10:02:41 PM I will pay 1 LTC... you pay shipping

Historical value comes from documentation. Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: Matthew N.

Even in my own auctions, I always crack up when people do that, or people bid 0.01 when the starting bid is 1 bitcoin.

Historical value comes from documentation. How can I prove that I am really the first?I will pay 1 LTC... you pay shipping Postage cost are not cheap. I could agree for 50 Litecoins.Title: Re: Handmade painting "Bitcoin" Post by: otter on April 20, 2013, 06:59:40 PM Hey sorry but without proof and without a chain of title proving where it came from you can't add "first bitcoin painting ever" to the price. Historical value comes from documentation. How can I prove that I am really the first?You probably can't unless you bought it around when bitcoin first came out and have documentation of that purchase. If you made it yourself and you made it recently it's not really that valuable. It's not a bad painting but just randomly doing something and claiming your the first one to do it isn't anything special. The painting itself isn't that intricate either. It's a single color with the bitcoin symbol on it. It's cute but not really worth $100+. |
