The power of art to
change societal norms and shift paradigms is often underrated.
Nearly a century ago, artists like Thomas Moran traveled West to paint the natural wonders of Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite.
These paintings created awareness of the West’s natural beauty and directly led to the establishment of the National Park system. Arguably one of the only good things the Federal government has ever done, and it happened because powerful artwork shifted the “Overton window.”
The challenge with having the foresight to protect America’s natural beauty somewhat mirrors the challenge of having the foresight to adopt bitcoin. There were certainly powerful interests back then that were against the idea of conservation, as there are today with bitcoin.
There are some incredible artists in bitcoin already, but there is so much space more.
I recently commissioned one of my best friends, who is a a glass artist to “make something cool” with a bitcoin logo stamp I had custom made from a small business (that accepts bitcoin) in New Mexico.
This is what he came up with on the first go at it. If you want one shoot me a message and I’ll send it your way! #bitcoinart #glass #glassart
