THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE BITCOIN

In the heart of the Clockwork Court, Sialia the Page notices a golden coin resting within the gears. As he lands on the coin, his clockwork wings shift with curiosity. The coin pulses with energy, and as it resonates with his core, Sialia begins to change.

In a flash, he transforms, his brass and copper body gleaming with intricate mechanisms. With newfound strength, he grips the bitcoin in his claws and soars through the aether, leaving only the hum of gears behind.

The lesson is clear: the early bird does get the bitcoin.

THE ARTWORK

This piece holds a unique place within the Clockwork Court universe, existing outside the central narrative and lore. Unlike the core story elements, the Bitcoin motif is not part of the overarching tale but was created as a standalone work. This animation and its accompanying text were conceived as an exclusive gift for 21 collectors who participated in the Archangel Collection drop and auction. It is a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, thanking those who have supported me on my creative journey.
