Cypherpunk Now

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.
