What inspired you to focus on Weimar Germany?
At some point I realized that it is common to refer to Weimar among bitcoiners but they are lacking somewhat factual side. Yes there is great book written by Fergusson but I quickly discovered some other sources, quantitative data and facts. It is well-documented but lacks the show moment. Also it led to really bad societal outcomes. They are scary and exciting simultaneously. Eventually I've started collecting some stuff and thinking about its visual representation. I dug so deep I did even start discovering some German lore that looks very funny in "crypto" context (Money Shitter for example). This is the story.
But of course there are more stories about hyperinflations: read about Zimbabwe or Russia, French revolution, too. All of them have something in common and many things that are different. However it looks like Weimar's have more anecdotes, like this
The single word “no” she told her son, cost 2,446,000 marks. (Guttman)
Sometimes I simply do like create something with old things.
