Art without ideas is just decoration. I use my art to advance the ideas of freedom while challenging common perceptions.
I believe that Freedom is a state of mind; and Liberty is a state of affairs. When you free your mind, you can free your world.

Good article because it makes all the salient arguments, but it falls flat to me. I find it lacking in passion - almost as if it was written by a sterile AI (which it probably was). Maybe bitcoin's usefulness is just becoming so "common knowledge" that it is now becoming boring to people who figured it out a long time ago. I always knew that day would come...

I asked ChatGPT what it knew about my #art, and this is what it gave me:
ChatGPT
"Steven Minnaar is a contemporary artist known for his unique approach to exploring the themes of art, value, and currency. His notable project, "The Minnaar Money Collection," involves creating 10,000 artworks, each containing clues to a hidden #Bitcoin treasure. These pieces are released daily over 10,000 days, making each artwork a part of an extensive treasure hunt (GlobeNewswire) (Digital Journal).
"Minnaar's work often combines traditional art forms with modern concepts of value and economics. He has produced a diverse range of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and readymades, despite only taking up art a few years ago. His projects have garnered interest from art collectors, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and treasure hunters alike (Harpist Los Angeles).
"For more about Steven Minnaar and his work, you can visit his official website [StevenMinnaar.com]."
I think it did a pretty good job 👏 . The only things it left out are my central themes of freedom and liberty. What do you think? Did ChatGPT explain it well?

Many, otherwise smart, people still don't understand that there is no such thing as "intrinsic value." All value is subjective and is imputed by the observer. People value things for all kinds of reasons and it doesn't have to make sense to anybody else.
