Cypherpunk Paradise: Ascension to Digital Heaven
"After our cypherpunk heroes have ascended to the network in the sky and triumphed over the devilish banksters, we get to see a glimpse of the cypherpunk paradise." -- Lucho Poletti
Cypherpunk Paradise is an NFT collection derived from Cypher Deos: Paradisus -- the right panel of the Cypher Deos triptych, Lucho Poletti's seminal work of Bitcoin Renaissance Art inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights.
The Vision of Paradise
In this digital paradise, anonymous whistle-blowers, martyrs for free speech, and visionary coders assemble around a radiant representation of the Bitcoin system. They are surrounded by legions of cypherpunk cherubim, seraphim, and dominion angels -- elevated to divine status for their contributions to financial freedom.
A network of meditating Bitcoin node runners arise above the lake of fire, escaping the flames of the burning fiat money system. The Bitcoin network lights up overhead, energized by the ever-increasing hash power from the proof-of-work consensus mechanism.
The Visual Narrative
The composition draws from Renaissance religious art, with figures ascending toward the light of financial sovereignty. But instead of clouds and harps, they're surrounded by circuit patterns, encryption visualizations, and the digital infrastructure of the Bitcoin network.
Below the paradise, a futuristic cityscape stretches into infinity -- the Bitcoin Citadel that the cypherpunks made possible. Endless nodes, each one a monument to decentralization.
The Collection
This collection allows collectors to own individual pieces from the Paradisus panel artwork, celebrating the triumph of cypherpunk ideals over centralized financial control.
To the cypherpunks who wrote code, not laws. Who built freedom, not asked for permission.
