The Art of Freedom

The Art of Freedom

I use art and a hidden treasure to promote the ideas of freedom.

Collect and trade works from the collection to gather 24 words that will unlock the treasure containing over one full bitcoin if you can put them in 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 and there is currently a waiting list (contact me on Signal to reserve an artwork). The remainder are 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. When you own a Minnaar you can trade it in for any other available piece of equal value.

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

  • 100 Days are 2.5″ x 3.5″ miniature paintings symbolizing our individual journey

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.
