It was 6 years ago this month that Satoshi Nakomoto planted a seed, the first block of a technology that would grow to change the way that millions think about banking and commerce. "Culture Cultivation" is an artistic representation of how one mans seed, "bitcoin" as we know it, has grown over the past 6 years into something that has forever changed the world and will continue to grow like a well tended fertile garden.

"Culture Cultivation" is carved from the highest grade Purpleheart wood a person can ever get their hands on. This high grade Purpleheart only comes from the top 3 or 4 feet of trees that exceed 160 foot tall and contains the highest resin concentration of Purpleheart wood which leads it to turning the deepest "crown royal" purple color you will ever find.

When freshly cut the heartwood of Purpleheart is a  dull grayish/purplish brown. Upon exposure the wood becomes a deeper eggplant purple. With further age and exposure to UV light, the wood becomes a dark brown with a hint of purple. The high grade Purpleheart that this piece is made of has a super high resin content that leaves it more purple than others after aging. This piece was freshly cut and worked by hand so it still has 5-10 years to fully age to its darkest color but will start to show its deep royal purples within the next week or two.

The wood this piece is carved from is worth more than the 2BTC opening bid !!!

I bid 2 bitcoin! Love this piece!

Man, this is another amazing piece you have made. Keep it up, I expect to see more beautiful things from you.

Thanks Iron, If you end up winning i can probably ship it to you the same time your 2nd coin is done, i am just about finished with the reverse side of it and it should be dry this weekend hopefully if not, first thing next week as the humidity has been high this past week again.

16 hours left on the auction and bitcoin price continues to fall, now is your chance to get your hands on a stunning art piece at a very low price  ;)

does this art piece also includes carved btc private/public addresses?

i bid 2.2BTC.

No, it comes with a certificate of authenticity, The design is carved on the front & back of the piece so there is no place to put an address without messing up the design.

Thanks for your bid, i will message you if you win  ;D

Auction ends in 1 hour 15 minutes if anybody else wants to bid.
