Description:
The caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, portrayed with Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto’s face, blows out smoke in the shape of the Bitcoin “₿”.
Just like the oracle in the story, Satoshi made almost prophetic predictions while remaining intentionally vague about how things would unfold.
Original in Bitcoin Museum Nashville. Prints limited to 99
"Truth doesn’t arrive with certainty. Between signal and noise, meaning accumulates along the timechain, slow and irreversible. The oracle speaks not in answers, but in the unfolding of value."

Story
I originally started this painting after finishing the rabbit. While watching Alice in Wonderland again for references, I felt inspired to paint the caterpillar as well. After an initial burst of motivation, I turned to other projects, and the piece remained half-finished for about three years, even moving with me through two apartments.
After returning from the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas 2025, I finally felt ready to pick it up again and complete it. As soon as I finished, I posted it on Twitter, where Tommy, whom I met in Las Vegas, immediately decided to include it in his museum in Nashville.
