A Dream sold for paper

A Dream Sold for Paper is a raw chronicle of the downfall of America’s currency. Inspired by Lawrence Lepard’s Big Print, it captures the dollar’s golden age — when it stood tall as a symbol of the American Dream, a time when anyone with grit and determination could carve out a better life.

But as the eye drifts downward, the dream begins to crumble. Government overreach and Federal Reserve manipulation creep in like a slow, inevitable rot. The dollar, once pure, becomes corrupted — overprinted, broken, betrayed. The dream that once fueled a nation is sold out for paper promises, leaving behind only a hollow shell of its former glory.

Yet from the ashes rises a new hope: the chance to tear down the old system and rebuild something stronger. A fresh start. A monetary revolution where value is real, power is decentralized, and transparency is non-negotiable. That revolution is Bitcoin.

The bottom of the piece signals this turning point — stark black and white replace the murky shadows of lies and control. Hidden within the artwork, currency-grade UV ink reveals cryptographic designs, symbolizing Bitcoin’s unbreakable foundation: a return to truth, freedom, and the real American Dream.
