"Fiat Tears" utilizes shards from Zimbabwe's hyperinflated million, billion, and trillion dollar notes to depict a universal story of the anguish wrought by unchecked fiat inflation. Drawing inspiration from PIV's WojakPunk, this piece employs the blockchain-synonymous Cryptopunk archetype not just as a derivative reflection, but as a symbol of the transition from traditional to digital monetary systems. It subtly underscores the potential of cryptocurrencies as a bulwark against the volatility and vulnerability inherent in fiat currencies. This artwork resonates as a poignant commentary on economic resilience in the face of systemic financial challenges.

Or - it's just a dank derivative.
