The Rebel Bear
The Rebel Bear Bitcoin Miner
- Originally painted in Glasgow in 2022 during a Bitcoin surge.
The Rebel Bear’s Bitcoin Miner was first painted in Glasgow in 2022, at the height of a dramatic Bitcoin price surge. The artwork reflects on the hype, speculation, and volatility surrounding cryptocurrency.
In this mural, Bitcoin Miner, a wide-eyed gold prospector kneels by a river – not panning for gold, but collecting shimmering Bitcoin tokens. The Rebel Bear Bitcoin Miner cleverly blends the imagery of the 19th-century gold rush with the modern digital obsession, prompting viewers to ask: Is this a new era of wealth… or just digital fool’s gold?
Now repainted at full scale for the BOXXS Self Storage Linlithgow exhibition, The Rebel Bear’s Bitcoin Miner stands as a visual bridge between old-world ambition and today’s virtual markets. Displayed across one of our outdoor containers, the piece invites visitors to consider how financial pursuits evolve – but human nature often doesn’t.
