This acrylic artwork, created by me, mx12art, marks the beginning of a new series. It's the second piece of its kind where I have the option to load artwork via a Satodime card by Satochip. Similar to Opendime but with more features, it allows you to check the balance and if the card is sealed via NFC technology. The artwork tells a story - The Way to the Bitcoin. We embark on a journey, equipped with the Flower Key (the first painting "Satochip Revolution"), Satodime, exploring for treasures and unlocking chambers along the way.

Each of my artworks represents my memories. After my accident in 2015 and waking up from a coma with memory loss, I began to draw and sketch to express my feelings since I couldn't speak. Art became my memory, my journey, hence why I comment on my own art threads - to remember. It's interesting that I immediately combined art with Bitcoin after my accident because everything seemed to intertwine, the fight for physical and financial freedom. This artwork symbolizes the beginning of a new era, where art includes loadable Satodime, mirroring my journey towards financial freedom.

In the auction thread's conclusion, you'll find a link to my art thread where almost every artwork I've created so far is listed, over 50 artworks

Even if I one day forget everything or don't overcome my brain issues, my journey will be kept alive by the people here. Even after my passing, they will honor my last wish by hosting numerous free lotteries. And there are already nice items in this lottery bag :) This may be lengthy, but it provides insight into who I am and why I'm a Bitcoin artist.

As for an IRL gallery, currently, there is no physical gallery space. Due to challenging times, I find myself theoretically on the street, without a main place to live. However, there is a vision for the future, one day, living in their own gallery. For now, the focus remains on creating with the resources available. Actively investing in private exhibitions, an upcoming one will take place in Hannover, Germany from 9th to 12th May. They plan to sleep under the clouds in a sleeping bag, adding a unique touch to the experience. Another exhibition is scheduled for London from 19th to 21st August.
Despite online purchases, I do strive to connect with people personally, ensuring each piece of art carries a real, tangible connection. (Inclusive handwritten letter)

Another cool thing about loading is that it's open and public for everyone, I can't do anything about it. The only way to access the bitcoins is to destroy the artwork, retrieve the card, and insert it into the USB drive. After that, you can access the bitcoins. Occasionally, as a thank you, people send bitcoins over, which increases the value of my art. And of course, if I make some sales, I send them bitcoin as well. About my limited editions, there is a hidden feature: if you bought, let's say, number 1 out of 12 artworks, after the second number is sold, the first number will receive a little tip. After the third one is sold, the first and second numbers will receive a tip :) and so on. This is a thank you to all early collectors.

As we barrel towards the auction finale, in just half a day, we'll hit the final countdown, 24 hours left until the gavel drops! Buckle up, folks, the bidding blitz is about to get real!

So guys, we're approaching the finish line! The auction ends in around 12 hours. But I want to say one thing, I'm happy with how it turned out, so don't worry 😉 for me if there aren't any bids. My last 1 of 1 artwork was sold and received positive feedback, even being nominated as the number 1 favorite among my artworks. This makes me truly happy and proud. 😊 Thank you all and good luck with this one.
Being an artist brings me so much joy. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration you've given me, and for being my friends. I've gotten close with a couple of collectors as well, and it's truly beautiful to know that there are real people, friends, who will help you when you're in trouble. Thank you!

Introducing a new frame design for this artwork. Stay tuned for another photoshoot soon!
