Purgatorio is the climb — the long ascent out of the fiat inferno toward something better. The middle chapter of the Cypher Deos series reimagines Dante's Divine Comedy for the age of monetary collapse, rendered in the visual language of the renaissance masters.
Read the panel closely and the symbolism unfolds: the Whore of Monetary Babylon, the Fictional Reserve Circus printing without reserves, three crucified cypherpunk martyrs — Ulbricht, Assange, Snowden — and the Four Horsemen of the Financial Apocalypse riding over the end of the fiat age. This is Bitcoin renaissance art: classical composition carrying a modern argument, that the way out of a broken system is a climb anyone can begin.

I bought this for my home office and it instantly became the conversation starter of the room. Friends and family keep asking about the symbols and story behind it. Lucho nailed the educational side without sacrificing beauty.
