Then, on April 6-8, the bidding process for items will be opened on the Rare City platform. The collection consists of four physical framed paintings with certificates of authority verified by the bitcoin (BTC) network and a bitcoin-token digital animation.
In addition to fundraising, the collection is set to represent Ross Ulbricht’s effort to pay tribute to the global community of bitcoin (BTC) enthusiasts and promote petitions for clemency in his case:
I am working with my fingers on these artifacts for bitcoin2022. The most time consuming is animation. No computer in prison I have to draw every frame by hand.
Scarce.City Marketplace is going to leverage its own Bitcoin- and Lightning-based platform to conduct this auction.
