This is a very good question. I love it.
From my heart I would be tempted to tell you the second one is the real art because someone has put his soul into it, but if I need to be told which one had more human efforts put into it does it really matter? If it mattered for me appreciation of it then I would see it by myself.

Leatherwork is more Proof-Of-Stake than painting.
In painting everyone starts on the same ground level. On the other hand, starting with a good amount of capital to start with a good workshop, the right tools and the best materials will put you at a much greater head start than someone who is broke.

2025-04-01 13:30:10

Here we're assuming both started at the same time. But even if not the case the point I'm making still stand and I don't think what you're saying here really disproves it. Sure there's other small factors, but someone who started with 10 000$ capital will never compete with someone who started with 1 000 000$. Even if the smaller miner has some advantages like cheaper electricity.

2025-04-01 05:25:47

Bitcoin mining is, in a way, Proof-Of-Stake.
If two person were to enter a competition to become the best miner, the biggest factor will be who had the biggest starting capital.
Take painting on the other hand. Assuming one of them isn't dead broke, money will have little to no influence over which one can be the best painter. Therefore painting is Proof-Of-Work.

Very hard to explain.
I think people conflict their craft with art. Crafts, be it drawing, sculpting or making, are mediums of expression. But they are not necessary art by themselves alone. The art is the person story. It's meaning and purpose. All this is expressed through the medium.
Just because you draw something dosen't mean it's art. Art, Art with a big A is much deeper than that. It's a divine relationship.
But all this is abstract and new thoughts in my head. I could be wrong in the details.

A lot of people don't understand that his tariffs are central planning of the economy. He's basically forcing everyone in the US to buy certain products over others.
The only way this can be somewhat justify is if people admit and accept that this is a preparation for war. Protectionism is aar economy.

Plastic does not blend well with a natural material like leather. The two energies clashes against one an other. When you intertwine plastic into the leather you break this beautiful aura emitted by the leather. Linen will instead amplify it.
This short article will explain in more details:
https://theleathermint.com/the-frequency-of-quality-why-leathermint-only-use-linen-thread/
In my beginnings I was using linen until I switched to polyester. I used it for a while out of convenience but I always knew something wasn't quite right. I knew polyester wasn't "real thread". I think I could feel it wasn't supposed to be mixed with leather.

When it comes to leather work I'm a craftman for sure. I'm good at making plans, following them and refining the craft more and more.
To me the artists in leatherwork are the people carving. Or those who vibe craft. They just go with the flow without a plan and obtain good result.
I realize saying this is extending my previous definition of artist but I think it's true. The artist dosen't need to work with a plan. But an artist can also be so much more than just tangible work. It's an overall creative person in all domains.

I'm currently at a crossroad when it comes to how I use the social media accounts of Leathermint. Especially on Twitter.
I could continue to use the account solely as a business account sharing content directly related to the brand and what we are selling.
OR
Make it about craft in general. Sharing content from a wide variety of artisans from wood workers to goldsmiths and even leather workers other than me.
My goal is to share beautiful, entertaining and satisfying content and, Hopefully, inspire people to take on a craft the solely.
What do you think? Should I keep it Leather from Leathermint only? Or should I share craft content from anyone who makes Bitcoin craft without knowing?

Tariffs distort market signals and function similarly to subsidies. They make goods or resources that were previously unprofitable to produce locally seem viable. However, this isn't a true gain in efficiency through innovation or technology. It’s an artificial shift driven by state intervention.
When we imported goods from countries that were more efficient at producing them, we could allocate our own limited resources to areas where we held a comparative advantage. State intervention in the market disrupts this natural flow and leads to capital misallocation, hindering true economic progress.

2025-02-03 02:21:25

- reply

Ot isn't about the capital allocation of individuals persay. It's how the whole economy shifts towards producing ressource A instead of of ressource B.
Let's say it used to be more profitable to produce ressource A instead of ressource B but the tariffs changed that. They would essential be producing something that is more profitable only because the state influenced in that way. Not because it is truly more profitable (and therefore better for society as a whole) to produce it.
In the long run this is what I see. Americans producing more cars instead of doing something else because the state didn't want Chinese cars even tho they were same quality at a lower price.
