Looking at Bitcoin Art Through a Protest Lens | Bitcoin 2026
"It is pretty amazing seeing your own work up on a gallery somewhere. When I created it, it was simply a tool for the protest." That's Kolin Burges at the Bitcoin 2026 Conference, looking back at the Mt. Gox protest signs he hand-wrote in Tokyo in February 2014 and watched go viral within hours. Joined by Alex Schaefer, MEAR ONE, and BMAG director Dennis Koch, the panel walks through 20 years of street art, the 2008 bailout response, the Burning Banks series, and the Relics of a Revolution gallery exhibition.Trade Bitcoin's next move on Duelbits Predict — get 100% cashback on your first bet, up to $100.
