Lego sculpture hide a Bitcoin fortune

During the last years, Bitcoin price has sky rocket, touching the ATH 20.000$ in December 2017.

You can hang the sculpture on your wall embedding thousands of dollars’ worth of Bitcoin. If you can crack the pattern, you can unlock and redeem an estimated US$10,000 worth of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Bauch developed the pattern by combining  “human and algorithm input”:

utilizes computer algorithms and software assistance to create his mosaics, work that reflects the physical manifestation of the abstract threat of technological singularity.
