I get a ton of questions about my husband. As a somewhat public figure I suck at privacy, while he is a privacy maxi.

He’s my main editor, oversees support on my website, and yet quietly is like “nah, don’t want any attention.”

In 2021 when I went to a dinner/meeting at Saylor’s house, my husband dropped me off and then picked me up as my personal ride. To Saylor’s credit, he came out personally at night to make sure I was safe while I waited on the curb for a ride, as his only female guest that night and Miami at night can be challenging.

The next day my husband dropped me off at some VC event and my friend Elizabeth Stark was aware enough to be like “you got out of the front seat of that uber. It wasn’t an uber, was it?”

And I was like “No, that was my husband, lol.” He dropped me off at every similar event event that year (Ubers were hard to hire in 2021, amid pandemic constraints, so he rented a Camaro, since normal utility cars were sold out, and he drove me around in it to my various events and then wouldn’t enter them even though he could.

For years since then he does stuff like this. Touches events but purposely won’t attend.

We have a ton of pictures, but he doesn’t like them to be public, and allowed a 2022 vacation post, which I still use. Adding a second one here as a Nostr exclusive. The second ever public pic of him.

His first name is Mohamed, the most popular first name in the world, and yet hardly anyone knows his last name. Which is how he wants it.

He had dinner with Peter McCormack in Manhattan once, and then the only side event I ever got him to show up at was in Bedford at Peter’s CheatCode event. So Mohamed met Natalie Brunell, Preston Pysh, and a few other people there. And then went dark again.

In 2022 amid the bitcoin bear market capitulation depths while I was buying, he was like “So, how many do we have? Okay thanks for the breakdown, add way more here.” It’s up 500% since then.

When family members ask me about. Bitcoin, I’m like “well it’s this open source people can…” and then Mohamed intervenes and is like “She’s being polite. And also kind of her robotic retard self. You should buy a lot of it, here’s why.” Then proceeds to orange pill the entire extended family.

He watches some of my podcasts and knows a ton of people in both the bitcoin space and macro space, and then quietly is like “I’ll literally drive you there but then I’ll stay away, privately.”

He’s the GOAT at not drawing attention.

He also lies Nostr but doesn’t post here; or anywhere. He likes hearing updates though.

He unintentionally made himself as a meme by not posting publicly and being private. And yet if he saw it, embed be like “it’s ephemeral. Building a fitness facility is her gets direct sun. Need your input on whether it will meet our goals, since you optimize all these details.”

My favorite bitcoiner, who isn’t a bitcoiner.

He does sound like a bitcoiner though :)

Finally orange pilled my uncle and it feels amazing to have another ally in the family. He's been buying like crazy on nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en but had a question that I'm pretty sure I know the answer too but wanted to check. #asknostr

it charged me $11 and some change for fee. I know all of them do that, but the price I paid was $256 higher than the price that was displayed on the graph when I initiated the purchase. I’ve been watching it and it’s very consistently when the transaction actually happens. Are they pulling a fast one,  or is that common practice? It’s consistently around a one percent difference, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s always higher what your charged.

It could be the micro volatility, but it always seems like it’s higher ???

Hard to say without trying different exchanges?
