Up for auction are a limited-edition of 21 TULIP MANIA! prints. These prints were created from my latest original reflecting on the perseverance of Bitcoin through countless MSM attacks.

The prints measure 24 in x 24 in (61 cm x 61 cm) including the white border. They are signed, numbered, AR-enabled and printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 Matte Fine Art Paper guaranteeing archival standards.

The top bidder can select their preferred edition number and will receive several notes used in the making of the piece. Each subsequent highest bidder will be able to select their preferred edition number from the remaining editions. Tied bids go to the first bidder. If you placed multiple winning bids with the goal of ONLY purchasing a single exclusive edition, email aryan@scarce.city to remove your lower bids.

About TULIP MANIA!:

The artwork is composed of banknotes from countries which have experienced extreme hyperinflation atop headlines from years past likening Bitcoin to the 17th century tulip market bubble.

At first glance the art appears painted, but upon closer inspection one realizes there is much more afoot. This parallels the ease with which “experts” have overlooked Bitcoin.

The reverse side of the original features the notes used in the work:

Yugoslavia 5 Milijardi (Billion) Dinara, 1994
Argentina 1 Peso, 1983-1984
Argentina 500 Pesos, 1977-1982
Venezuela 20,000 Bolivar Fuerte, 2016
Venezuela 50 Bolivar Fuerte, 2007-2015
Venezuela 100,000 Bolivar Fuerte, 2017
Zimbabwe 1 Billion Dollars, 2008
Zimbabwe 20 Dollars, 2007

The prints’ augmented reality better highlights the various FUD headlines displayed in the art. With BTC now above six figures, TULIP MANIA! makes for an ironic walk down memory lane.

Prints ship rolled in a heavy duty mailing tube w/ buyer to pay shipping.

Maximum estimated shipping cost added to the winner’s final balance:
North America: $25.00. All other destinations: $130.00
