Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian spotlighted Monumental Labs’ massive Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) marble sculpture in an X post on Wednesday.
‘Decentralied Digital Currency’
Monumental Labs uses AI-driven robotics to create large-scale, Renaissance-style stone and marble sculptures. It aims to progressively automate stone fabrication and reduce costs up to 90%.
In the latest X post, it showcased a 4-foot-wide, 1,000-pound marble Bitcoin sculpture, carved with intricate circuit engravings and inscribed with “Decentralized Digital Currency.”
The coin was also commissioned for Ti Morse’s interview set with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong
“We made this 4ft, 1000lb marble bitcoin,” Monumental Labs said, to which Ohanian responded, “Of course y’all did.”
Ohanian’s History With Crypto
Ohanian has used public forums to support cryptocurrencies and once compared Bitcoin to gold. He also took an early gamble with Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), grabbing 50,000 of them during the asset’s presale in 2014.
As far as Reddit was concerned, the social media giant allocated a part of its excess cash reserves in Bitcoin and Ether in 2024.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $69,832, down 1.81% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
