Perhaps the most well known Bitcoin artist is on a mission to spread the Bitcoin word in Venezuela. Pascal Boyart has been working with the website SatoshiEnVenezula to help artists local to the South American nation monetise their work using the crypto asset.<\/p>\n
Boyart<\/a> is famous for his Bitcoin-inspired murals in his native France<\/a>. His preferred medium, city walls, make fitting canvases to experiment with the use of permissionless monetary networks.<\/p>\n Pascal Boyart is at the forefront of the cryptocurrency art<\/a> world. He’s made a name for himself with his enormous murals<\/a>, inspired by the racket that is central banking and the potential alternative offered by Bitcoin.<\/p>\n Although NewsBTC has featured Boyart’s work on numerous occasions in the past, his latest project sees him extend the tools of his craft to his fellow artists for the first time – particularly those in Venezuela.<\/p>\n Working with SatoshiEnVenezuela<\/a>, a group attempting to spread cryptocurrency awareness in the hyperinflation-stricken nation, the artist has produced an extensive guide, which details exactly how local street artists can monetise their own work using Bitcoin and, by doing so, promote the cryptocurrency in the process.<\/p>\n For many Bitcoin advocates, Venezuela appears to represent the ideal circumstances for widespread adoption of the cryptocurrency. The nation has seen its national currency, the bolivar, plummet relative to other fiat currencies in recent years at the hands of reckless government policies.<\/p>\n Despite rising interest in Bitcoin, as evidenced by volume data from LocalBitcoins (provided by UsefulTulips<\/a>), real usage of the digital currency appears to be isolated for now. Groups like SatoshiEnVenezuela are working tirelessly to promote Bitcoin as a workable alternative to the bolivar for those that have seen life savings dwindle before their eyes but are yet to see real traction.<\/p>\n \u00bfEres artista? \u00bfEres creador de contenidos? \u00bfTe has preguntado c\u00f3mo recibir donaciones utilizando bitcoins? \u00bfHaces murales? \u00bfObras de otro formato? \u00bfEscribes? <\/p>\n Este tutorial de @pascalboyart<\/a> es para ti:https:\/\/t.co\/ASfa8B0tvI<\/a><\/p>\n v\u00eda: @satoshienvzla<\/a> \ud83c\udf4a\ud83c\uddfb\ud83c\uddea<\/p>\n — Javier \u20bfastardo \ud83c\udf50\ud83c\udff4\u200d\u2620\ufe0f (@criptobastardo) October 14, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nVenezuela Primed for Widespread Bitcoin Adoption: Can Street Artists Give it a Push?<\/h2>\n
