Bitcoin artist says ‘fascination’ brought thousands to BTC art exhibition

As an analyst with a background in art and finance, I am thoroughly impressed by the success of Street CY₿ER’s Bitcoin Art of Revolution exhibition in Barcelona. The fusion of traditional and contemporary art to illustrate the potential of Bitcoin as a catalyst for a fairer financial system is not only visually captivating but also intellectually stimulating.


As an analyst, I’ve recently learned that a Bitcoin street artist reported a substantial “achievement” from their Bitcoin art showcase in Barcelona, attracting more than a thousand visitors who were subsequently “enlightened” or “educated,” a phenomenon often referred to as being “orange-pilled.” This trend signifies a steadily growing worldwide interest in Bitcoin.

Speaking to CryptoMoon, the street artist known as “Street” from Street CY₿ER said his Bitcoin “Art of Revolution” exhibition brought in thousands of attendees to the Artevistas Gallery in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter — where world-famous painter and sculptor Joan Miró was born.

“[It] demonstrates the growing global fascination with Bitcoin and the need to understand the traditional financial system.”

From September 24th through late October, the Bitcoin exhibition attracted up to 100 visitors daily, presenting an assortment of both traditional and modern artwork that demonstrated how Bitcoin (BTC) could potentially create a more just and balanced society.

Around 7 out of 10 of the 400 Bitcoin artworks were purchased by a variety of buyers, including students, entrepreneurs, art experts, collectors, and even other artists, as pointed out by Street.

Street noted that the Bitcoin display led numerous attendees to question their previously held misunderstandings regarding Bitcoin and its potential impact on transforming the financial landscape.

“Many visitors have reported that the exhibition fundamentally changed their understanding of Bitcoin, leaving with a newfound appreciation for its potential to revolutionize the world.”

Interest in Bitcoin art in Spain might be growing due to the country’s economically volatile situation, as suggested by Street.

But “our primary goal is to educate and inspire, rather than to capitalize on economic hardship.”

Originally scheduled to run from September 24 to October 20, the exhibition titled “The Art of Revolution: Bitcoin” has been extended for an additional week by the gallery’s proprietor.

Previously, we spoke with Street, whose distinctive artwork was garnering notice due to the increasing number of Bitcoin-themed graffiti appearing on city streets across Europe, such as Barcelona, London, Berlin, Madrid, Prague, Riga, and Tallinn. This attention has now drawn interest from other galleries in Europe who are eager to host upcoming exhibitions featuring Street’s work.

As a researcher, I find myself immersed in the vibrant world of Street Cy₿er, a collective of more than 100 individuals – educators, enthusiasts, artists, musicians, and activists alike. This dynamic group has taken it upon themselves to share the Bitcoin message in an innovative way, circumventing traditional media channels by using street art as their medium.

The bitcoin-themed graffiti they create seeks to educate people about Bitcoin by delving into topics such as financial confidentiality, price instability, and conflict, encouraging viewers to ponder the role of money within our social structure.
