Crypto Disruption

Bitcoin truly hit mainstream consciousness in 2017 as it skyrocketed in value hitting an all-time high of almost $20,000 by the end of the year. Public interest and the media frenzy were rampant, and bitcoin became a red-hot talking point and one of the year’s most popular Google searches. I became involved in cryptocurrency mid 2017 by investing in some bitcoin. As I read more about it, I soon became aware of blockchain’s potential as a disruptive technology. By the end of the year, I began to conceptualise a crypto inspired exhibition of augmented reality oil paintings.
