NOWWAY
A Digital Artwork on Bitcoin, Crypto and Warren Buffett
The artwork Straight from the Oracle stages an epic clash between opinion and reality. Warren Buffett’s harsh critiques of Bitcoin appear in glowing letters as the markets unfold in the background – relentless, unpredictable, contradictory. His words are fixed, yet the numbers tell a different truth. That’s why this piece is one of my favorites: it’s alive, ever-changing, and a powerful reminder that the story is far from over. It also serves as a lesson that one should not be married to past decisions – adaptability is key in an ever-shifting world.
Many thanks to TRADINGVIEW for their technical support, without which this project would not have been possible.
