What happened

Bitcoin artist A13MW argues the BTC symbol is a necessary mental-model hook for adoption, then traces Pepe the Frog's mythic genealogy and the alt-right appropriation of the meme. She critiques Pop Art's heirs, NFT and Ordinal adoption by Bitcoin artists, and reports from the first African Bitcoin Conference in the Diaspora in Boston, noting Bitcoin art is nearly absent in Africa. She closes by asking fellow artists whether they are "here for the money or for the revolution."
