Tselly
Tselly interviews Lina Seiche, creator of the bitcoin comic strip The Little HODLer, who entered the space in 2017 through a marketing job on a "shitcoin" project and made her first comic in 2020 on PowerPoint after the halving. Seiche says she never studied art or went to university, was usually paid in bitcoin as a freelancer, and keeps the work deliberately simple and non-toxic, sticking to bitcoin topics while resisting "forced linkage" between bitcoin, seed oils, diets and religion. She discusses Japanese pop-culture influences, her disappointment with Germany's direction, why she moved to El Salvador, and names the Salvadoran president as her favourite encounter with a pleb. Her advice to fellow artists is simply to do the work and find ways to get it in front of people.
