I speak with Brekkie Von Bitcoin about his pivot into sculpting and the role bitcoin plays in and around his efforts. Brekkie is someone I’ve admired from afar for years, his commitment to mastery and courage to learn in public wasn’t lost on me so it was a thrill to have this conversation. I hope you enjoy it.This podcast is my fledgling effort to move the needle for bitcoin so your ratings and reviews help immensely and I’d really appreciate you sharing this pod in your circles. I have no sponsors so the value for value model has great allure. If you’re not listening on Fountain or Breez apps, maybe down the line you can, and stream or boost some sats this way. I’ve just figured out splits and made OpenSats recipient of 10% of my stream.Guest Links:Website https://www.vonbitcoin.com/Instagram @bvbtcTwiiter: @BVBTCMentioned in the Episode:The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving StoneThe Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean AmmousCryptograffiti https://cryptograffiti.com/Rundown:0:00 Quote0:20 Title1:10 Finding himself as an artist3:45 Proof of work5:01 Pivoting into the studio6:00 Sacrifices7:25 Contrasting with the fiat world8:40 Bitcoin and art as a catalyst for change11:20 Hopes and dreams12:35 Upping his game14:15 Saifedean’s art chapter and modern art17:30 The role of aesthetics and beauty19:00 His current sculptural journey21:20 Don’t overthink it22:30 Tortured artists25:00 Art’s role in moving us forward25:30 The contemporary artist’s landscape27:20 “Bitcoin Lives”28:10 The cathedral metaphorListen NowOn Fountain https://fountain.fm/show/Auz9HAPsv8VRKBaiEXLwOther options: https://podcast.show/thebitcoinmuse/Music by Brandt EnosV4V on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/Auz9HAPsv8VRKBaiEXLwShow Links:The Bitcoin Musehttps://podcast.show/thebitcoinmuse/Clay Enos PhotographyFollow Clay Enos:VeroTwitterNostr public key: npub1kl6j2296mvw05ng6m86n4ra34ytycxqxv8df2nx6hk9ytkr06amq3kg5ku
