EL REGALO - THE GIFT

[RebelMoney]

EL REGALO — by Rebel Money and Flo Montoya







Time is the most valuable thing we have.
And it is the first thing taken from us.
We live in a world engineered to extract attention, labour, and life itself—measured in hours stolen and moments diluted. Time waits for no one. It cannot be printed, commanded, or begged into existence. Bitcoin changed that. Bitcoin returned time to those willing to earn it.
El Regalo—The Gift—exists to honor that truth.

At its center stands Satoshi. Not as a ruler. Not as a god. But as a conduit.  Their heart is removed from the chest and offered freely to the world. That heart beats with the pulse of Bitcoin. Slow. Relentless. Honest.

The rhythm accelerates only when work is done. When energy is spent. When truth is proven. And when a block is found, the piece ignites—light erupting in recognition of an event no human can schedule, manipulate, or fake. This moment is sacred precisely because it is uncontrollable. It belongs to no one.
 It answers only to nature and Proof of Work.

El Regalo is not a sculpture.  It is a clock without hands.  A reminder that real time must be earned. Each work is forged from resin and electronics—matter and energy bound by code.

Each piece exists at 0.02 BTC + postage. Completion is expected late January / early February.
Some pieces are already claimed.

WHAT COMES NEXT
This is only the beginning. Bronze-cast editions are planned.  Those who hold the resin pieces will be given first refusal—and $1,000 off—because early conviction matters.

But the true vision is larger than ownership. 21 monumental, 8-foot bronze Gifts - placed across the world.  Permanent. Unignorable. Alive.
Spaces where people gather for halvings, first dates, weddings, births and endings.

Moments where humanity pauses—not to consume, not to transact—but to witness a shared block of time.
One heartbeat.
One block.
One truth.

If you want to help bring it into reality— acquire a piece. Resin, Bronze or Life sizes

Time is the gift.
Bitcoin made it possible.
El Regalo makes it visible.

Do you have any data on the dimensions, weight and material used?
In any case, please reserve #11 for me. Any chance some of the lower serials become available? If so please put me on the waiting list for a 1-digit serial.

Well done Rebel, the time we spend with our loved ones, for personal recreation, Hobbys or use it to support others in need gets less & less everyday...it's stolen time that nobody gets paid back...and within this process we miss opportunities, memories & experiences that could push us forward. The importance of time is what many of us forgot...the hamster wheel spins so fast & tries to keep us unreflected...thanks for this great reminder🍀

Thank you Kryptowerk. Number 11 or lower is reserved for you. It is made of Resin, 3d printed filament and mirrored acrylic. Approx 40cm tall. Weight approx 1 - 1.5kg. Will update as the final edition is completed.

Posting an update to make all collectors aware. Apologies for the silence. I've been hit with a bout of poor health amongst other things since xmas and am slowly getting back on my feet and into the studio.

The ETA has been pushed back to mid march. Any questions, please DM me.

Cheers

Hi All,

Just a quick post to let you know the upgraded El Regalo statue is almost finished. I had some fun times with a laser cutter this morning and it is looking good. Will share some images over the next week. Thanks for your patience.

Hello all,

Great news — El Regalo is complete.

A huge thank you to everyone who preordered and supported the piece early. The final model has a significantly more premium feel, with every material tested and upgraded (yes… including dropping components from a second-storey window).

Key upgrades:

Metal button
USB-C power input
Mirror acrylic finish on the top and sides to enhance transparency, with the edition number embedded
Improved light functionality, signalling each mined block
The block in Satoshi’s hands now features 20 LEDs (up from 9) — noticeably brighter

As always, a few hidden Rebel details are woven into the piece — for collectors to discover over time.

The current images are placeholders. A full website and video reveal are coming soon.

El Regalo will be featured at the BTC Prague Art Gallery, where piece No.1 will be auctioned.

There are now fewer than half of the statues remaining, priced at 0.04 BTC (aligned with the expected starting bid for No.1 in Prague), plus shipping. I’ll be bringing a small number to the conference — first come, first served.

Thank you again to everyone who backed this from the start. Shipments will begin mid-May, and I’ll be in touch shortly to arrange delivery.
