VESA - Artist - Ethereum London Keynote - #ethldn

[Music] hello everyone I only have five minutes but this is actually a lot of fun because I know we'll just just run out but Sasha being here finally I'm not under so much pressure to deliver all of that other stuff which is not so interesting to me as it is to talk about the art about you loud okay well I have a few points these artworks that you see over here are mine and because I only have five minutes I'm gonna have to do a fair amount of number and name-dropping in order for this to be interesting so you might look into this a little bit later but I prepared a few notes so I have about 350 art pieces that are digital high-resolution originals and I've been trying to educate the art world that a digital piece can be an original of course they don't they didn't care because the blockchain didn't exist in the kind of form that it does right now and especially with all the applications that aetherium has it's really made it relevant I'm ever so happy that these kind of platforms and we get to work together with codex protocol from the get-go as well as now start to collaborate with Sasha but for example this piece over here it's been on Forbes a couple of times it's originally a digital original but the previous two were collected by an exchange in a hedge fund and they wanted their own logos in them so this is the last repaint that exists it was just on CD AM gracing the pages over here and it's my main website piece and it's gotten a ton of attention and that's the last one available I mean it's a disgusting price it's seventy thousand dollars but thinking that this is when Bitcoin forked into Bitcoin some call the core I find out ridiculous but Bitcoin let's call it for this book encore and echoing cash so at that moment that made a significant movement in Bitcoin into and sort of solidified it into an art object that is way more rare than 20 1 million so that's one thing I'd really recommend you guys if you haven't picked up a CD a.m. paper for a while it has a whole page on crypto but the crypto insider so I think that's one revolution in and of itself that there's a free paper given out as a mainstream publication that has a whole spread on crypto that's that's quite something so if you do want to read what I said in that because that would condense if I had a half an hour what I really have to say about this whole thing you'll find that on art for crypto calm on the fraud page so you can actually read it I'm not going to go further into that so onto the name-dropping this piece over here that you'll see in the back it's called the blood on the podcast floor and I made it because I did a trip to Las Vegas and we had a common mission with the bad crypto podcast guys and it ended up being my dodge coin and it started getting all of these super sized two signatures like you have Charlie Lee you'll have Brock Pierce you have vinnie Lingam you have Ronnie Morris you now have Peter McCormack Andres Antonopoulos signed it and basically work but I'm not gonna let it go before I get at least a million dollars raised to this charity called Hawk which is a women's Center in Houston fighting against sexual and physical violence towards women and next up I'm gonna be in Las Vegas again for the litecoin Foundation project as well as the world cryptic on again and I'll be on stage right after Tim Draper this time I think I'm gonna try and get it just sign it and a few others now me Brockwell is gonna go there so that's gonna keep building momentum and that was on Forbes as well a while ago so I'm just saying this kind of attention and these types of visual things of making blockchain into something that is pop culturally relevant helps the whole space and this is what I'm trying to do is to build these kinds of bridges I am selling some of these pieces that you cannot make me offers especially with Bitcoin and theorem and those kind of courtesies and I'll probably sell them for about half the price of what I'm asking on my website so if you are thinking about getting a very collectible like this and you might collect it with coins make an offer so I look at most of the museums and galleries kind of like some people who are heavy into crypto might look at major banks or the federal exchange or those kinds of things and without going into too much detail into that this is what I'm happy to see these kind of new art exchanges and people who are making these revolutionary concepts happen because they're doing the BTC of the art world which is the fight in the finance world bubble and this is how I see it yeah that's probably more than five minutes and please come and talk to me if you found this interesting I'll convince you further to let go of some of your coins so you'll get some of these Thanks [Applause]
