I’m joined by HACKZERO whose humble demeanor finds a prolific outpouring of imagery using midjouney in service to bitcoin. He pours his unencumbered passion for bitcoin into the latest AI tools for image-making. As someone not at all versed in the fine arts, his pure commitment to educating and inspiring deeper understanding of bitcoin hints at a brave new world of voices like his tapping these newfangled beauty engines to express themselves visually for the first time. It’s thought provoking stuff.

This podcast is my way to move the needle for bitcoin so your ratings and reviews help immensely and I’d really appreciate you sharing this pod in your circles. I have no sponsors so the value for value model has great allure. If you’re not listening on Fountain or Breez apps, maybe down the line you can, and stream or boost some sats this way. I’’m proudly tithing 10% of my stream to OpenSats to help them support bitcoin and other free and open source projects.
