I started working on this piece thinking about the multitude of evils the FED feeds. Sending our babies to war, Big AG, Big Pharma, the "Medical" Industrial Complex, Indebted servitude, Consumerism, Violence, Diseases, etc...

It evolved into picturing the oppressive state in which many of us are kept as we're fed and fattened like beasts for the slaughterhouse.

What better way to keep us down & obedient, than by keeping us sick, weak, & vulnerable?

The FED feeds us to keep us physically, mentally & spiritually malnourished enough to prevent us from developing the capacity to stop the feed itself!

Many of us are trapped in the fatten & weaken bodies the violence of Interest Rate Apartheid builds.

Bitcoin Fixes this!

Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the fear of change itself and our true selves emerge. The true versions of ourselves, empowered by Bitcoin and its community, can take down giants. Including our old FIAT selves.

Fed by the FED is part of a project called The Orange Pill Effect series.

Each illustration is made for it to have complete meaning on its own, but to also work along the other pieces in order to complete the strip.

Each piece has its own story, but to HODL with diamond hands during Bitcoin’s volatility, you have to zoom out, and zooming out is what’s achieved when the full series is on display.

To achieve the Orange Pill Effect, one graduates from blue pill addict, to the red pill rehab, then to the relentless optimism of the Orange Pill.

The candles on the chart are affected by the color of the pills, or are the pills affected by the candles on the chart?
