What if the art isn’t the image, it’s the system? Jack Butcher believes the most interesting thing happening in digital art isn’t beautiful pictures. It’s people digging through a system, trying to figure out what’s rare, what’s worth something, and why anyone cares at all. His latest experiment ran entirely on X Money, turned a flood of payments into a single artwork, and moved faster than any gallery ever could. Jack and I explore the collision of crypto art, NFTs, digital scarcity, and financial markets, from why collectors obsess over rarity to whether Bitcoin has actually fulfilled its original promise. We also get into X Money, the future of banking, AI-driven software development, and why self-driving cars could make today's transportation feel completely absurd. The internet has made it easier than ever to create, distribute, and monetize ideas. But when everyone can build something, what makes anything worth owning?
