Set up your Lightning wallet dude 😁
Good work cunt!
Welcome 😁
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.
Welcome!
Take some time for yourself, and especially, be kind to yourself 🤝
I hope he gets what he most clearly deserves and has done for many years
He got utterly #rekt with leverage
There might be a lesson in that 🤔

Reading at the beach is never wasted time 😎
My bad .. Contempt of Court, not perjury
Faketoshi failed to appear as required regarding his perjury charges ..
Okay so TL;DR
Coinkite makes blockclock mini and sells it for $400, closed source
nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2 makes a similar DIY device that is fully open source named BTClock
They get harassed at launch by Coinkite
It goes well for a while, then Coinkite takes down their Github by claiming trademark infringement because BTClock is too similar to Blockclock
The irony is that the coinkite Blockclock wasn’t even the original block clock .. that was a year or two earlier
Yep .. i think I’ve heard either Lyn Alden or Preston Pysh quote double digit percentages (30%?) but cannot recall of which index .. Russell perhaps .. it’s a LOT
If, and only if, you’re generating free cash flow .. lotta public companies are “zombies” kept alive only by ongoing cheap credit and endless rounds of re-financing
Exactly what i started with 🙃
Savings are stored value, and that is the purpose of money 🤝
Value is subjective, but money’s purpose is to store savings as effectively as possible. The less money can be meddled with, the more accurately it will preserve for the future
