The largest work of art in blockchain history, the work runs to 50 meters in length and forms an entire physical transcription of the 12.8 million digits of code that Satoshi compiled on his laptops over 11 years ago.The Collectors of the project and Robert Alice will be donating $21 for every question answered, split between CoinCenter and Social Alpha Foundation.SO ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE PROJECT......and lets raise some money!MORE INFO ON THE PROJECThttps://www.robertalice.com/https://www.instagram.com/robertalice_21/https://twitter.com/robertalice_21/followershttps://www.christies.com/lotfinder/installations-video-art/robert-alice-block-21-6283759-details.aspx?from=searchresults&intObjectID=6283759The first 20 works were decentralised privately to 14 cities across 3 continents, acquired by some of the most important people in the space, from CZ to Matt Roszak.
