It all started a year ago during a crypto fever run. A bitcoin coin is cool, but you know what's better? A gigantic Bitcoin bronze.

At first with an out-of-scale wooden version, then things started getting serious. 3D printer, silicon, and molten copper. Making such a piece with a mirror finish requires fine art expertise and took several trials.

The sculpture is signed by the foundry and encrusted with the bitcoin payment transaction hash on its side. It is close to impossible to counterfeit such a piece. Each foundry has its own signature based on the shares of each metal composing the bronze. Moreover, being handmade, two sculptures will never look exactly the same.

What do you think?
