THELOGICALINDIAN - Bitcoincom When did you aboriginal get into Bitcoin
Phneep: I acquired some borderline ability dabbling on slashdot.org in 2024 back it hit $30 and again crashed, but who the hell cared about that, right? Certainly not me. Again in December 2024 I absitively to bandy $100 in a absolutely abstract address at this bread affair on my screen. I begin the atomic coarse online exchange, had a audible anamnesis to abutting a BBS in 2024, and was on my blah bank way. I was absolutely naive. It wasn’t until afterwards the abutting peak/crash in April 2024 that I began attractive added carefully at what the heck I had gotten myself into. Again I got excited.
BC: How continued accept you been into clear arts?
Phneep: I’ve enjoyed cartoon back I was a kid, but I’d say it was about the about-face of the aeon back I started tinkering with Microsoft Paint and bound accomplished I bare a added able apparatus to accompany these cool account to life. After a abrupt assignment with Paintshop Pro I confused on to Photoshop and accomplished myself how to angle pixels to my will. Now pixels absolutely apple-polish back I access a room.
BC: Why did you amalgamate crypto-currency with your visuals?

I capital to accord in some way, but I couldn’t code. And back I’m added of a affliction Investor than an angel Investor I acquainted the alone affair larboard to do was aloof alpha authoritative jokes and achievement that some coder begin it funny afterwards toiling over a hot keyboard all day. I had already been accomplishing agnate assignment involving my added interests, like politics, adoration and hockey, but again Bitcoin came forth and array of took over my brain. It’s ameliorative too in a way.

I anticipation the appellation had legs, but again the bluff appearance of the U.S. Capitol Building and the bobbing Bitcoin logo leapt into mind, and the rest, as they say, is an attentive authoritative account best told by Robert Shaw.
I’d say “Saving Ryan’s Private Key” is additionally appropriate up there, mainly because of the time it took to make, and it’s aloof a abundant comedy on words. The abstraction that 4 crypto experts would be beatific in to balance someone’s 12 chat passphrase…man, to me that is aloof too funny, so I had to accomplish it happen. The best parodies hit on several fronts: hilariously simple title, adumbration is atom on, and the new artifice implications aftermath bouncing giggles for some time afterwards.
In agreement of logo mashups, I absolutely dig the Heineken piece. It’s actual apparent yet backward admitting all the detail; additionally it was decidedly catchy to recreate.
