I am a conceptual artist sharing the ideas of freedom through art. To this end, I have created a treasure containing over one full bitcoin. You can collect and trade works from the collection to gather the 24 words that will unlock the treasure if you can guess the right combination.
Authentication
Each artwork comes with a cryptographically signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Scarcity, Abundance and The Art of the Trade
My collection is fiat-free, meaning artworks are available for barter only. I trade only the minimum required each year to cover operating expenses, with the remainder kept in the collection for exchange and display.
This creates a scarcity of available supply, yet an abundance of exchange opportunities for those who own a work from the collection.
Popular Pieces
- Pocket Prints are FREE limited edition prints that you can carry in your pocket and trade to pick up the 24 words. Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Minnaar Museum if you wish to receive one (limit one per person). Pocket Prints are the only works in the collection that do not come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
- Minnaar Billfolds are currency-sized canvas paintings designed to hold your Pocket Prints and folding money. They are made from orphaned paintings that I adopt from second-hand stores. View collection
- Battle Royal is a series that tracks the battle for value between bitcoin and the US dollar. The block time, date, and USD price of one bitcoin is recorded directly on a new painting every 1000 bitcoin blocks ending in “777.”
- Bitcoin Mint™ Block Height T-Shirt Only one T-shirt is minted per block with the block number printed directly on the shirt making each a true one-of-a-kind.
- Gold Minnaars are some of the rarest coins in the world. Contact me to get on the waiting list.

Value Scoring System
Each artwork is assigned an individual Value Score. The larger the number, the higher the value. You can find the Value Score for each piece in the ‘tags’ section of the listing. Each unit of the Value Score equals one ounce of silver in trade value. This Value Score also represents your trade-in value if you wish to trade your artwork for another in the future.
You can search the collection by Value Score using the drop-down menu below.
