Before NFTs, before the metaverse hype—there were posters. Physical, tangible pieces of Bitcoin propaganda designed to hang on walls and spark conversations. This is where HODLCRYPTO began.
The HODLCRYPTO Era (2018-2019)
I started creating Bitcoin art under the HODLCRYPTO brand in 2018. The focus was simple: create powerful visual propaganda that could spread the Bitcoin message beyond the digital realm.
The Poster Collection
The early poster designs drew from vintage propaganda aesthetics, pharmaceutical advertising, and political art movements:
From Posters to NFTs
These designs laid the foundation for everything that followed. When I minted my first NFT on SuperRare in September 2019, the visual language was already established.
"The best propaganda doesn't feel like propaganda. It feels like truth you've been waiting to hear."
The HODLCRYPTO era never really ended — several of the original designs still hang on walls as bitcoin propaganda posters, and the full journey from those first posters to today lives on the About page.
