The Californer/10092686

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Producer Max Musina announced today the new dramedy series, "HODL" (Hold On for Dear Life), with duo David Budin and Brendan McCarthy who recently wrapped 6 seasons on Netflix's Grace & Frankie.

Set in Blockchain Beach and Crypto Rico, HODL revolves around a young token founder who launches an ICO to pursue dreams of becoming a crypto whale and finding a lost childhood friend.  An absurd squad of cypherpunks, anarchists, lambo-bros, libertarians, no-coiners and Satoshi take on nemesis megalomaniacs, centralized powers, and FUD.

HODL comes directly out of the crypto community and the series is loosely based upon actual crypto history. HODL's pseudonymous Creator describes HODL as "the decentralized story of decentralization," and also warns, "crypto is a wild ride, so… Hold On for Dear Life!"
