similar story.

Was on the academic track -- grad school offer in hand. Decided to take a year off; Covid hit and instead of reading dusty old archives I was traveling the world and writing about the madness.

Started working with Bitcoiners, editing/writing/stacking like a maniac. Settled down in an expensive country.

If #bitcoin doesn't pan off the way we expect, I might be royally fucked. (Well, I'm in good company for that kind of high-stakes risk-taking lol: https://x.com/dogeofficialceo/status/1843382048767258909)
