Between 2012 and 2015, the GCR scene was wildly prolific. It was akin to the Wild West of an evolving GCR landscape. I was writing prolifically on Dinar Land chat sites, always asking the “inconvenient questions” which often times got me outright banned from nearly every public chat room there was.
We were being constantly told by the Intel Gurus of the day that the GCR was happening and even completed on a daily basis. Yet there was always a reason that we couldn’t exchange our IQD or VND. It was simultaneously stressful and frustrating.
These were the days when it was all about the IQD, VND, Iranian Rial and the Indonesian Rupiah. But then, the Zimbabwe Dollar hit the scene sparking an entirely new sphere in the RV/GCR landscape. Until that point, most of us couldn’t imagine that a currency denominated in amounts up to 100 Trillion could even exist Not to mention that these ZIM were Bonds, not currency notes.
Through all of the frustration and confusion, I began creating a series of GCR Comics to break the tension of the times with parody and humor. Thus was the adoption of the “Bad Robot” persona and avatar in 2013. The avatar graphic was eventually noticed by Hollywood legal folks and I had to abandon the Red Robot graphic in 2016.
