The image above contains everything you will need to solve this puzzle. It emerged in the Bitcoin subreddit as a post roughly 4 hours ago (at the time of writing this post). The original poster used a new account and as a "hint" he left this message in the comment section:
This work is comprised of Satoshi Nakamoto's famous whitepaper words, scaled by Log N. Disparate ideas inspired Satoshi to create a solution to revolutionize modern socio-economics and industry. The work reflects on the elements that brought this technology to life, and challenges the underlying security model. Hidden in plain sight lies something more: a treasure hunt. 1 BTC is concealed within the work.

The only real hit was a reply to a comment stating:
There are 239 BIP39 seed words in that picture.
The reply reads:
You can throw at least half of those out. This is clue #1.
So far no one has been able to come close to cracking this cipher. If you have some ideas you can share them in the comments below.
I will try to keep the post updated if new hints get released from the original poster.
Happy treasure hunting!
