"...an astonishingly beautiful painting styled after the famous work of art by Leonardo da Vinci, the Last Supper, which he calls the Bitcoin Supper.
The painting, 140cm x 70cm, was originally offered more than three months ago, but it received a muted reaction. All changed very quickly when a post was made on reddit introducing the work of art to the wider Bitcoin community. Ever since, the bids increased higher and higher, reaching4.65 BTC ($2,900) making it the most expensive Bitcoin painting ever sold."
$2,900 is a decent price, I would think the artist was hoping for more like $5k to $10,000. Getting paid in BTC is good, since the value will eventually go higher.
