JPG Is Not Bitcoin

A reference to Magritte's "This Is Not a Pipe": in the JPG icon, mountains become a volatility chart and the sun becomes the Bitcoin logo. Enlarge the image and it breaks into pixels. A JPG is simply not bitcoin, even if it can look like it. The motif expresses my position on Bitcoin NFTs and enters the heated debate the Bitcoin community had about them in 2024. The NFT was minted on the Bitcoin blockchain via Ordinals.
