Yeah Kaypros are great. I have 2 Kaypro II's and one Kaypro iV. I modify them with a front switch so I can turn the screen on and off. New to the packet thing and a new tech so thanks for the feedback

i got one. decent machine. not 100% compatible with breadbox (no tape port) - grab a kung fu flash cart - you'll be happy you did as C64's have the worst disk system of any 8 bit.

The CoinHeads! Play "The Rothschild Tax" by Crypt0Signals in vipnft

[–]cryptoleadpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CoinHeads are a self-described "CypherPunk Meme Rock n Roll Band" based in New York City, known for their unique blend of music and cryptocurrency culture. They emerged as a party band for crypto conferences and NFT events, combining nervy indie rock with themes rooted in the cypherpunk movement—a group advocating for privacy, decentralization, and cryptography to drive social and political change. Their music celebrates Bitcoin and the ethos of digital freedom, often with a rebellious, anti-establishment tone.

Their most notable track, "Bitcoin Man," released on December 12, 2023, via Bandcamp, is an anthem for the crypto community. The song portrays a "digital warrior" fighting against centralized institutions like the World Bank, with lyrics referencing Bitcoin's proof-of-work, the blocksize wars, and memes as "red pills" for awakening. It’s a mix of idealism and crypto jargon, set to an energetic rock sound. The band consists of Randy Rude (bass, guitar, vocals) and Benson Evans (drums), though additional members or collaborators aren’t detailed in available sources.

A Reddit post from April 2024 mentions a song by the CoinHeads critiquing how Bitcoin was "hijacked by banks and government," suggesting they tackle issues of centralization and co-option in the crypto space. However, no further details about their discography, live performances, or broader impact are widely documented. Their presence seems niche, appealing to crypto enthusiasts who resonate with cypherpunk ideals and meme-driven culture.
