The work reflects on the elements that brought this technology to life, and challenges the underlying security model. Hidden in plain sight lies something more: a treasure hunt. 1 BTC is concealed within the work.”

Bitcoin is one of the most important virtual currencies in the market and has captured the attention of many investors in the last months and year. This situation has inspired several artists to express their ideas by hiding seeds and private keys in paintings and art.
Many different challenges like that have appeared in the past. For example, back in 2015, an artist hid 4.87 in a painting puzzle. The picture has been uploaded on Tiwtter by the user @coin_artist. Until April the 29th, the puzzle was still unsolved, according to the creator of the tweet.
