Adopting Bitcoin 2024

monika bravo

I was born in Colombia and moved to NYC in 1994, escaping the matrix in 2020 to reside in Miami Beach. I am a multi-disciplinary artist and polymath, embodying my own perspective and no longer seeking “truth”; my vision synthesizes all disciplines, guiding me to manifest a reality that aligns with my desire to evolve. I create mesmerizing environments for public spaces, intimate interpersonal interactions through astrological readings, and meaningful spaces for individual and communal development through talks, study groups (on Bitcoin and Evolutionary Astrology), and workshops. I enjoy directing and producing diverse projects, from complex multimedia installations and public art commissions to artists’ books and textile design.

Recently, I’ve delved into what I consider the most significant innovation of our times: Bitcoin. I have completed a nine-month seminar on Austrian Economics with Saifedean Ammous and am here to inspire others to embrace authenticity and evolve.

Currently, I am producing "Arcana," a public art commission for the IEB at the University of Washington in Seattle. I have completed notable public art projects, including "Ouranos, Above Us Only Sky" for MTA Arts-Design in Grand Central Madison NYC, "LIMINAL" at St. Paul International Airport, and "Unus Mundus" at the East Boston Police Headquarters. My forthcoming book, "The Nature of My Reality," captures my journey from disempowerment to self-awareness, exploring economic systems, the historical roots of banking, and their ties to political and ecclesiastical authority. My philosophy merges Eastern, ancestral, and cosmological traditions with psychological inquiry, praxeology, and Austrian economics, emphasizing liberty, value, and self-worth in service to both the individual and society.

Bitcoin as the Promethean Quest for Individuation [and liberation]
monika bravo

Bitcoin is more than a financial tool; it represents a state of consciousness integrating diverse practices to support human liberation. Reimagined as Prometheus, Bitcoin is a force challenging centralized control and empowering autonomy. Through Greek mythology, evolutionary astrology (a language of numbers, harmonics, and planetary cycles interpreted through myth), the presentation explores Bitcoin's alignment with the archetypes of Aquarius/Uranus/Prometheus, symbols of disruption, awakening, and enlightenment. Contrary to Michael Saylor's view, which likens Satoshi Nakamoto to Prometheus and Bitcoin to the stolen fire, this keynote suggests Bitcoin itself is the Promethean fire within all humans, transforming society and guiding us from economic oppression to self-sovereignty. Prometheus, as a Titan on Earth, aligns more closely with humanity than the gods of Olympus, while Satoshi remains in a more distant, almost mythical realm.
