A masterpiece is a piece of art that is never done saying what it has to say.

It’s eternal. It speaks to people long after the author is dead.

Bitcoin is a masterpiece.


Facts.

I'm starting to think Satoshi might have been a genius or something


Crazy how fast good ideas spread. Ioni sure has a lot of them.


I hear you bro I do.  But I don’t agree.

Bitcoin isn’t art.

It is the most influential discovery of the third millennium.

Eh, all art is never done saying what is has to say. All art is eternal. Masterpieces just say more to more people.


No.


Yes?


My point is people make shit to say something. A Rothko says (way) less than a Picasso. But it says something as long as it exists.


Visual art reminds me of music - it's an experience the listener has just as much as the performer. Not all who listen to Bach find it pleasant. No one appreciated impressionists at first either. Art, all art, is an attempt at an expression of some truth about the world. If it isn't that, then it isn't art. How well it lands (and usually with how many people) are just criteria for how we collectively decide what we consider a masterpiece.


I mean, I find Bach pleasant. And some art is truly just lazy bullshit, but I wouldn’t then classify that as art at all. If someone is truly trying to convey a universal message or simply create beauty, it is art. It is a masterpiece if it expresses this in a way that is universally understood and appreciated.


Well said, and agreed.


The number 21 million may echo down the halls of time far longer than most think.


Have you never seen either in person? Genuinely


Profound. Bitcoin is mesmerizing.


Sure, love most art museums. You get a different sense after seeing these first hand.


Is this a cryptic way of saying bitcoin is work, keep working?
