INTRODUCING:
@Open Source Culture Creator Contest #2 Winners ๐ฅณ ๐
WHAT ARE WE DOING? Bitcoin Wall Calendar 2026 will feature photos and artwork from bitcoiners, quotes from Satoshi Nakamoto and is marked with the important dates in Bitcoinโs history and pre-history.
WHY? Why not? Why not create something that is a symbol of the collaborative nature of Bitcoin, that honors the timeless wisdom of Satoshi, that pays homage to the cultural and entrepreneurial spirit of Bitcoin, and something that is a remembrance of a long windy path that led us here?

Big thank you to everybody who participated, voted, zapped, shared info about this project & event or supported in any other way! It means a lot ๐
All winners have been contacted, most #Bitcoin prizes have been paid out, now all that's left to do is some formatting, a tiny bit of designing and if all goes well, we'll have actual physical calendars in our hands by November ๐ค Special shout out to the sponsor companies:

@npub1c74n...2cj2 who are helping make this (and hopefully many other) similar projects a reality.
My fellow plebs, if I may put this on your hearts - I know we all want each other to succeed, but often times, it is hard to distinguish genuine intentions from malfeasance. Just like with humans, with companies - pay attention to the small gestures. Pay attention to how they treat their most lowly customer, or someone who isn't a customer at all. This can say a lot about where one's heart is - and businesses & brands, like humans, are in a very real sense living organisms.
Who we share our money, time - energy - with, is of utmost importance. Where attention goes, energy flows - and where energy flows - grows, glows, lives and thrives.
If you made it this far reading this note, I will thank you again, good sir or madam. Thank you for paying attention to art; and thank you for having a heart ๐งก ๐ ๐ค
