DonTSelly Joins Pleb Underground For A Chat

— Don T-Selle has transitioned from BTCsessions management to founding Chicken Tender, a media company representing 12 podcasts and producing two animated cartoons: Maxi's Club and the new Selly and Friends series.

— Rekt and Shorty, a Rick and Morty parody animated series, premieres Wednesday at the Midwest Bitcoin Summit; Part 1 drops publicly in early October, Part 2 on November 5th (Don's birthday).

— The BIP 110/Bitcoin core fork split is framed as a false dichotomy; Don advocates for multiple parallel implementations rather than picking sides in what he calls a "Republican vs. Democrat" style conflict.

— The Bitcoin community faces a shift from "ignore you" to "fight you" phases as mainstream adoption and corporate money flood the space, diluting original cypherpunk messaging with a "get rich" narrative.

— Chicken Tender provides business development, sponsorship placement, marketing consultation, and voiceover work; Don manages ~40 Twitter handles and writes for Stackchain Magazine.

— Animation production combines hand-drawn work with selective AI tool use; all voice acting is performed by plebs (Yellow, Carla, Grepples, BTC Sessions, Walker) rather than AI-generated.

— Avoid picking ideological sides in technical disputes (BIP 110, Taproot, SegWit); instead run the Bitcoin version that aligns with your values and allow the ecosystem to explore multiple solutions in parallel rather than consolidating around two narratives.

— Expect continued corporate media saturation and derivative-focused Bitcoin marketing during this cycle; seek out independent creators still focused on "why we Bitcoin" rather than wealth extraction alone.

— If producing content, prioritize human talent (voice, writing, direction) over AI for creative integrity; use AI only for labor-intensive technical tasks (animation frames, backgrounds) and retain full creative control.
