I got so caught up with boostagrams and Primal 2.0 I forgot to do something crucial. Here is my official #introductions post:

My name is Cole McCormick, I live in Los Angeles. I’m an early adopter and innovator. I came out here to Direct movies and tell stories. I am a podcaster, my first being in 2016, currently hosting AMERICAPLUS. I’m also producing promotional videos for nostr:npub1pj3a304qsdh99yr5wkug75rfznr284fzy7zalfnuwkctwyye2djsae7des .

In 2021 I discovered nostr:npub13ql75nq8rldygpkjke47y893akh5tglqtqzs6cspancaxktthsusvfqcg7 and his shows, one of them being podcasting 2.0, that took my down a wonderful rabbit hole. I rediscovered the magic in podcasting and was aligned with the ethos of V4V. I wanted to earn Bitcoin for my work, I was one of the first 1200 podcasts that had a value tag on their rss feed.

My vision for AMERICAPLUS has always been to seek positivity in the world. So I talk about a lot of different topics I think are good to talk about. Bitcoin, politics, spirituality, history, movies, Bible, and most recently Nostr. It’s been a solo mission but I have plans for more conversations/interviews and have that be the main thing.

I have made two short films (which I will be posting to Nostr soon) “The Break In” based a real and random night, and “Magic Mushroom Fun Time!” Which was the first V4V short film using V4V Music and distributed over RSS. I gave my small crew splits of payment from the podcast apps and we all made thousands of Satoshis. That was cool.

Fast forward to the last few months my life has been changing rapidly. My dad died in August 2024, I’m working at a steakhouse that, to be completely honest sucks ass, and I’m going through a break up 😂. BUT…I found Nostr.

I seek to be the best version of myself ultimately. Aligning my personality with my soul. So I am going into 2025 with creativity and an open heart. I want to be apart of this new world in the best way I can serve creatively. More videos and short films coming. More podcasts with cool and innovative people. More light.

If you would like to connect I’m always up to talk. If you want to help me make a movie, the answer is yes! If you want to come on my show, let’s schedule it! If you think this post is worth it, zap it!

My soul goal is to give value to people in the best way I can. We are in incredible unprecedented times, and I see only bright things for our future. Let’s go to the moon plebs.

I’ve always aligned with his preferences — moreso than Parker or Jancis Robinson (although she has great taste). But Suckling m seems to find the sweet spot/balance of elegance and power that I tend to like, as well 🍷

Is it too early…….? 😉

If you got hit by a bus as you read this, would your loved ones be able to access your Bitcoin?

smash grapes -> juice

what do you mean?

Love this idea (just signed up). But email is stupid. How long untill it can go to my dm's here?

I completely recommend people host their own media, especially if it’s sensitive. We make enough money from accounts to keep it all afloat for now.

One recommendation is to remove the metadata from your images before posting it, people can get your location from it.

I'm glad there is image hosting websites out there for people that don't want the hassle hosting their own images but I prefer hosting my own stuff. I use the image hosting software called Chevereto to host my own images.

In already up to 126MB.

nostr.build website says they are at 1,595GB

that's crazy. It's expensive to host other people's media. Hope they are making money.
