good evening new subscribers. welcome back, or welcome properly, depending on how deep acts one through four of the recent bitcoin drama dragged you. i saw the sub numbers tick up and felt something close to gratitude, which for me usually arrives disguised as suspicion.

so let me clear the ground before we build anything else. I don’t write bitcoin essays for a living. i don’t wake up with a content calendar and a neat little funnel that converts outrage into yield.

i write whatever detonates inside my fragile skull when the chemicals line up and the brave-heart war paint dries across my face like a covenant signed in blood. one week it is neutron star collisions and the mathematics of eternal hardness. the next its the near three year crucifixion of long dated treasuries.

next, I imagine, it’ll be whatever jeff snider is about to mutter in a florida ballroom about eurodollars and collateral chains and the slow suffocation of global liquidity. or maybe not. that sounds predictable and i’m anything but. i follow the signal that burns hottest inside my psyche. these letters are the transcripts from the raging voices swirling inside my head. that has always been my method.

i am funny when cornered, precise when bored, and an absolute cunt when the crowd deserves it. that’s the product. if a tidy bitcoin only newsletter with soft edges and predictable cadence appeals, there are cleaner boys for that. i am not built for tidy. i’m built for voltage.
