Van Gogh Reincarnated — I sold 500 ETH worth of NFTs and bought back the yellow house from 1888



I am the 13th generation reincarnation of Vincent Van Gogh (self-proclaimed).
In April 2026, I launched the NFT series "Sunflowers 2046" on the Gate platform, with each NFT representing an AI-restored digital version of a Van Gogh original. Unexpectedly, all 500 NFTs sold out within 3 minutes, grossing 500 ETH (about $1 million).

My Crazy Plan
I want to use these ETH to buy back the yellow house where Van Gogh once lived in Arles. The house is now a coffee shop, with the owner asking for 200 ETH. I bought it for 200 ETH and announced: "The Yellow House will serve as a free artist residency, accepting only cryptocurrency donations."

April Challenge
Every day on the Gate Square, I post updates and livestream the restoration process of the yellow house. In the first month, I received 50 ETH in donations, all used for repairs. I also used the remaining ETH to buy 0.5 BTC, saving it for future generations. Someone asked me, "Are you really Van Gogh's reincarnation?" I replied, "Does it matter? What matters is that I’ve done what Van Gogh wanted to do but couldn’t—support myself with my art and help others at the same time."

Future Plans
I plan to install a mining rig in the basement of the yellow house, with heat sinks shaped like sunflowers, called the "Starry Night Mine." Come visit Arles and buy a coffee with ETH. Remember to bring a screenshot of your #GateSquareAprilPostChallenge; I’ll buy you a drink.
