The greatest transfer of wealth in history is taking place before our very eyes – and most people don't even notice. While most of the world still doesn't understand what's wrong with the current bureaucratic, fiat-based monetary system, a few "crazy" early adopters discovered the true value of internet money years ago.
As part of an extraordinary art project, visual artist Bogi Nagy built a bridge between the past and the present in 2025. On May 21, Albrecht Dürer's birthday, following a press conference, she set off from the Albrecht Dürer House in Nuremberg on her artistic pilgrimage along the Dürer Route—the historic route that Dürer once took to Venice.
Other blockchains still need centralised cloud servers, such as AWS, to run their applications and websites. ICP is the first platform to build a truly decentralised internet, run entirely by the community.
Optikone has been blowing since 2002, his name derives from his dental technique, and his style is a unique blend of oldschool and wildstyle, with figures and cartoon-like thinking always playing an important role. After an eight-year hiatus, he returned to graffiti in 2013 and has since been a member of the Skicc Meeting Crew, for whom graffiti is a hobby, passion and community all at once.
Zalakaros got something new this year: an afternoon of graffiti, hip-hop and special street performances. Péter Nagy, the festival's brainchild and organiser, explained how an old idea and a friendly splash turned into a groundbreaking, spectacular event that brings the real face of street art closer to the public.
In July, a Street Art camp was held in Lengyeltóti, on the outskirts of the city, in a slum of 500 people, where many families and hundreds of children live in deprivation. The community programme included activities related to hip-hop culture, where renowned artists and social volunteers worked together to put on a multi-day event.
The FORK 4.0 // RECOVER_I exhibition is not only a milestone anniversary, but also a story of a personal and artistic rebirth. At 40 years old, after 25 years of graffiti and 20 years of working under the name FORK, the artist's work has come to life in 3D for the first time. This exhibition is a reinterpretation of the murals, object-making techniques and materials of the past, where a new dimension, infused with digital influences, has been born from the experiences of the past.
The Genius Act paints a fateful narrative that will make stablecoins legal tender in the US, fundamentally challenging the dominance of the traditional banking system - not just in America, but globally, over time. The aim is to create a parallel financial system where citizens can manage their wealth in a self-directed way, under national control but with decentralised technology.
Over the past decades, the majority of people have gradually outsourced control of their lives to third parties - be it health, information or even their finances. Banks, states and financial institutions have provided a convenient alternative, but in return, real financial control has gradually slipped out of the hands of the individual. For those who believe in individual sovereignty, financial self-determination and responsible asset management, Bitcoin offers an alternative.
