210 000 panel

in Bitcoin art2 years ago (edited)

"210 000" is the second artwork from the "Halving blocks" series dedicated to the block where the first Bitcoin halving in history happened.
The composition is again a hexagon, representing a two-dimensional view of a three-dimensional cube with all 457 transactions at its core.

A merkle tree is visible in three of the corners, with different information about block 210,000 engraved above each one. At the top is engraved the hash of the block.

In the left corner the merkle root

And on the right, the number of the block, the bitcoins mined in the block, the number of transactions contained in the block, the date the block was mined as well as the date the artwork was finished along with the name of the author.

Engraved into the crown of the trees are the digital "leaves," which represent the computer language through which any computer system of ones and zeros functions. It is through these base units that the digital photosynthesis takes place that supports the complex life of any technology that serves us in our daily lives.

Two ouroboros snakes are placed under the roots of the merkle trees. Biting their tail, they symbolize the endless process happening in the Bitcoin network, mining block after block every ~10 min.
