Matchbox Belief

Drawing parallels from Christianity, Matchbox Believe explores Bitcoin not just as code, a network or a movement - but as a religion.

Satoshi Nakamoto is pictured hanging on the cross. The raw hex data of the genesis block of Bitcoin is embossed on the wooden beams - his burden to bear. The nails impaling Satoshi are fiat currencies, restricting freedom and dooming him to departure.

However, is it not all despair.

By Satoshi making the ultimate sacrifice and disappearing, his creation continues to grow stronger each day. This is symbolised by setting the piece in a matchbox, a place where a small spark is made and can grow into fire guiding humanity.

This artwork is a miniature version of the Belief piece and is designed to be portable. The first edition is a marble finish (of 21), the second edition is a tarnished gunmetal finish (of 21). Each piece comes with a letter.
