Drawing Bitcoin Turns Bitcoin Blocks Into Comparable Visual Art

The free explorer sizes transaction circles logarithmically by satoshi value and grew from a physical-art project based on block 865,318.

An artist and architect using the handle @architect_btc has turned Bitcoin (BTC) transactions into circles, giving users a consistent visual scale for comparing activity across blocks.

Each transaction appears as a circle whose radius follows a logarithmic scale tied to its value in satoshis. This format lets users examine patterns, relationships and structure within a block.

Drawing Bitcoin began with block 865,318 as a basis for physical artworks. It has since become a free public block explorer where users can view and compare Bitcoin blocks using the same scale.
