Drop 002 of 100

The t-shirt priced to Bitcoin

Its price changes every few seconds, and nobody involved in making it decides what it costs.

Cigarettes 2 costs one one-thousandth of whatever Bitcoin is worth at the moment you check out. When Bitcoin sits at $63,600, the shirt is $63.60. When Bitcoin moves, the shirt moves with it, in both directions, all day and all night.

The rule: price = live Bitcoin price ÷ 1,000. It moves with the market and no one overrides it.

Buy the dip

This turns a t-shirt into something you time rather than something you simply order. A bad morning for Bitcoin is a good morning to buy a shirt. A rally means you pay more for the same cotton.

It is the opposite mechanic to Drop 001, whose price can only rise and rewards whoever moves first. Drop 002 floats on a market that nobody in the project can influence, so paying less is a matter of watching rather than of hurrying.

Two hundred for sale, two hundred and ten in existence

Two hundred shirts are available. Ten more exist and were never for sale.

Those ten are trophies. The five people who pay the lowest price and the five who pay the highest each earn one. Both ends of the distribution are rewarded, so the cheapest buy and the most expensive buy are equally worth having, and the middle is the only uninteresting place to land.

210 exist. You can buy 200. The other ten are earned.

When it opens

Thursday 20 August 2026, at noon Eastern. After that it stays open permanently until the run is gone, so there is no window to miss, only a price that keeps moving.

Where this sits in the project

100 Cigarettes is an art project of exactly one hundred numbered drops, ending permanently after Drop 100. Each drop is priced by a rule that is part of the work. Ninety-six are still unrevealed.

Common questions

How is the price calculated?

One one-thousandth of the live Bitcoin price. If Bitcoin is at $63,600, the shirt is $63.60.

When does it open?

Thursday 20 August 2026 at noon Eastern. From that moment it stays buyable until the run sells out.

How many are there?

Two hundred are for sale. Two hundred and ten exist.

What are the other ten?

Trophy shirts that were never for sale. The five people who pay the least and the five who pay the most each earn one.

Does the price go down as well as up?

Yes. It follows Bitcoin in both directions, all day, which is the difference between this and Drop 001.

Can I get a discount code?

No. A code would override the rule, and the rule is the artwork. What you pay is decided by a market nobody here controls.
