Good morning traders and cryptoenthusiasts! 

It's time to work with the "crypto" in cryptocurrency. Namely, an artist in LA, Andy Bauch, has set up his newest exhibition in Castelli Art Space, LA and his works are not your usual panoramas or views.

Bauch has takes various cryptos - Bitcoin, Litecoin, Doge, various altcoins even and stashed them in cryptocurrency wallets, taken the private keys and **embedded them in his artworks**. His artworks consist of thousands of lego bricks, with those private keys of the wallets hidden in plain sight. The keys though, have been processed through various algorithms to make cracking the codes a little harder. Sciencealert.com quotes Bauch:

>"I am attempting to help those without computer science backgrounds visualise and understand the rather abstract concept of cryptocurrencies and simultaneous democratising the potential and volatility that comes along with them."

His art is dated and titled appropriately "Bitcoin initially valued at $70", "Bitcoin initially valued at $50" etc, so everyone can do the math, what the wallets should be worth today. Pictures of his art are already spreading on the internet and being on display at the exhibition makes it possible for anyone to try his hand at cracking the cipher. **Andy Bauch has promised, that the buyers of his art though, will get further hints to decipher the code.** If there is anything left to decipher, that is, in case someone got to it earlier.

And perhaps some of the challenges hidden within his art will get solved only after years of meteoric rise for those cryptos. Feel you are at home with cryptographic challenges? Check out his art and go get the money.

Want to swim in your Bitcoins? Still not possible, but you can literally experience Bitcoin in realtime from "inside", considering you own a HTC Vive virtual headset.

Publisher Indiesquare has released a Bitcoin VR game, thats rather just **a VR experience where you can chill around on the blockchain, see transactions as they pass through and ponder on your meager existence.** To give the VR experience some more bang, they have added some gimmicks like weird laser beams that enable you to grab the transactions to see the details, as you walk throught the Forest of Satoshi and possibility to shoot down some bugs with bow and arrows. And there seems to be a monkey too.
