Cypherpunk Now

I only open the vault with gloves on :-)

Timothy C. May, Nick Szabo, Hal Finney and Julian Assange — 11 cypherpunk legends in total, in one of my most elaborate projects: Cypherpunks Of The World.

My exhibition at Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis (HCPP), 2019. The first print on the left is my collaboration with @BitkoYinowsky; the rest are my own designs. 2019 was a productive year…

My studio at Továrna, around 2017. Portraits I was screen-printing under the name Pop Machine, alongside my first I Am Satoshi Nakamoto prints. We weren’t calling it “Bitcoin art” yet.

The slideshow on my new website brings together photos I love. They represent my work over the years, and probably a bit more of my life than I first realised.

I’ll be sharing them here, one at a time, with the stories I remember.

I’ve been working with ChatGPT to prepare this series and set it up in Social Magnum. I choose the photos, check the captions and add the memories. We prepare the posts ahead of time, and the scheduling takes care of the rest.

THE CRYPTOANARCHIST MANIFESTO (2018)

This print contains the full text of The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto by Timothy C. May.

It’s the only motif I have reprinted multiple times - because the manifesto is a foundational text that, in my view, every Bitcoiner should have on their wall.

The visual expands on my first print from 2015 and includes the line “Cypherpunk Future Is Now” a reference to May’s 1988 prediction of a cryptographic future that Bitcoin eventually made real. That phrase later inspired my artistic name.

Released in October 2018.

I AM SATOSHI NAKAMOTO

Around 2016-17, the public debate about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto became extremely intense. The first “Faketoshis” started to appear, claiming the name for themselves, while journalists published increasingly fantastical stories. Dorian Nakamoto, Craig Wright, endless speculation yet none of it ever produced any real proof.

This atmosphere inspired me to create a visual in which Satoshi is depicted almost like a “god”: a figure whose face we never see, yet whose creation shapes our world.

Around this time, I realized I finally had the opportunity to show my prints at the Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis, our annual October event. I had no expectations - only excitement that it was happening at all. To my surprise, the prints were received with enthusiasm.

Technically, by 2017 I had a much better grasp of screen printing than in 2015, but I still struggled with editioning. This print existed in two color variants - a light blue version and a purple version. I printed 15 of each, but mistakenly numbered the entire run from 1 to 30. As a result, this purple print is marked 24/30, even though only 15 purple prints actually exist.

At the time, I was literally heating my studio with Bitcoin miners.

Life got in the way in December. I lost my studio – the landlord turned it into an Airbnb.

Instead of printing, I spent weeks searching for a new space and rebuilding my workshop from scratch. The table is still half assembled, screens leaning against the wall, inks in crates.

This is the current state of things.

So I’m returning to what I had to leave.

CypherpunkNow – The First Decade (2015–2025) a curated @verisart drop revisiting ten years of my Bitcoin art.

The drop is not just a sale. It’s a retrospective pulled from my personal archive – early works signed “Mfish”, the Fischer years, and the full CypherpunkNow era.

Each print corresponds to a specific moment in Bitcoin history. Each was created at a different stage of my own evolution as a screen printer.

From $250 Bitcoin to $110k. From basement workshop in Paralelní Polis to international collectors.

Over the next days, I’ll revisit each work one by one and share the full story behind it.

I spent the winter in the warmth of the glass furnace. Turning crystal glass into a Bitcoin meme. Handcrafted using traditional glassmaking techniques, I dare say this might be the very first blown glass Bitcoin art ever created.

We're almost at 100K, but the visionaries are already there, and yet they won't take off their laser eyes.
