I'm Max DeMarco an independent Filmmaker AMA

Yoo - I've been working on a bunch of bitcoin and nostr movies in the last years. I released the silent bitcoin revolution in africa and did the nostr documentary featuring nostr developers as well as Jack Dorsey.

Personally i focus a lot on health videos and try to make the world a healthier place. I see bitcoin and nostr an integral part of this...

So let's get into it - that's my first AMA. Fuck yea.

Here's my YouTube in case you wanna see some of the vids: https://www.youtube.com/@MaxDeMarco

What took you to movies about Bitcoin?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxDeMarco OP 18 Oct

Life and bitcoin itself. I've been doing music production prior to that and really loved being creative. I started editing bitcoin podcasts to get some work in the space. At some point the podcasters wanted me to edit videos for them..

This then evolved into showing me that i really enjoy making videos and movies so it came pretty naturally to me. And since then i love every second of it

What are some of your favourite movies other than Bitcoin related?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxDeMarco OP 18 Oct

I like Christopher Nolan in general. Some others i love are: The Grand Budapest Hotel - The Matrix - The Big Short - In Time.

But there are also some YouTube videos which have been more influential to my journey. This one in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flyADpC1Ono&t=270s

How you would start a Bitcoin circular economy?

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxDeMarco OP 18 Oct

Create the best products possible and only accept bitcoin. Slowly build out all the services people need but only accept bitcoin. Offer better services than fiat companies... and slowly scale it up.

I do think this is happening naturally right now. Slowly but surely the incentives being on the bitcoin standard will emerge into producing better things and services.

So i am very bullish in this happening naturally

Apropos Jack Dorsey. He was censoring massivley while beeing CEO of Twitter. What do you think, did he change his views or is this just another 3 letter agency move?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxDeMarco OP 18 Oct

He seems to really care about what he does. Ofc i don't know what his real incentives are but based on the interview and seeing him in person he seems to be an incredibly genuine guy who want's to do good in the world.

I think he learned from the past and now really only wants to do good. Can't imagine all of this being done with bad intentions
