The Bitchcoin Certificates are the only traces of Meyohas' first blockchain project, launched in March 2015 during a performance at Where Gallery in New York.
The artist mined her own cryptocurrency, the Bitchcoin, from two computers in a container. The buyers of the tokens, which cost $100 each, received a paper certificate with a key allowing them to access the Bitchcoin exchange platform. This first blockchain no longer exists and the Bitchcoin project migrated to Ethereum in 2021, paradoxically making the paper certificates the central record of this digital currency.
