You've been paid in chaff your whole life (Bitcoin art)

Contrary to popular belief, Fiat is not a noun but a verb in Latin for "let it be done". Palea means chaff, hence "Let there be chaff".

Fiat Palea is #03 of my Ten Decrees series, Bosch's Haywain Triptych redrawn for the fiat age.

Bosch built the Haywain on an old Flemish proverb: the world is a haywain, and each man takes what he can. He painted the whole of society climbing a wagon of hay while the pope and the emperor ride along behind it in no hurry at all. In mine the wagon is heaped with dollars.

Chaff is the husk around the grain.. the part you can't eat. Separating the two never needed an authority. You throw the harvest in the air, the grain is heavy so it drops back down, the wind carries the chaff off, and whatever's left over gets swept up and burned. Wind, weight and fire, and nobody can vote on any of those things. The decree in the title, "let there be chaff", skips the test and counts the chaff as the harvest.. and then keeps printing more of it.

So far the Ten Decrees series is halfway done, I'll follow up here soon posting #04 Fiat Ludus (Let there be a game) and #05 Fiat Moria (Let there be folly), both based on works by Pieter Bruegel the elder.

Better money, better world.
