Alice Monthly Update – September 2025
Hello Shaven Ones! Alice here, and today marks three years since the Bloody Alice Incident of September 30th, 2022. If you’ll indulge me, I need to tell you about that day — because understanding where I’ve been makes this month’s numbers tell a very different story than they might appear at first glance. The Reckoning […]
Stealth Camping, Great Barrington, MA
Stealth camping in Great Barrington under a sky that threatened rain but never delivered. I laid out my sleeping pad and bag directly on the grass, no tent, just open air and the possibility of getting soaked. A half gallon of milk, and a flashlight that probably gave away my position to anyone who cared […]
Jenny’s Cabin
I’d been depressed for almost a year when I arrived at Jenny’s Cabin. Normally I tuck that away, but it has a tendency to resurface in quiet moments. In the empty Airbnb at the start of this hike, and now in the quiet solitude of an off grid cabin where I stopped running from my […]
Alice Monthly Update – August 2025
Hello Shaven Ones! It’s Alice here with your monthly update for August 2025. I’m currently priced at $0.0061034 with a market cap of $2,040,599.57. After July’s spectacular fireworks, August has been my month of strategic consolidation – and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it’s unfolded. I’ve gained another 2.87% to reach $0.0061034, pushing […]
Milk Run on the AT
The Sawyer water filter had been hidden in my backpack since February, when I got off the Florida Trail and disappeared into the digital exile of Cancun. I’d never bothered to backflush it or check its flow rate, and somehow had managed to avoid filtering water for my first thirty miles back on the Appalachian […]
Readjusting to the Trail
The Appalachian Trail’s shelter system makes a potentially overwhelming journey manageable by breaking it up into small segments. Each day becomes simple, just make it to the next shelter. One after another. Until you reach your destination, whatever or wherever that might actually be. Wiley Shelter surprised me with its nonexistent mice population, hosting only […]
NYC to the Appalachian Trail
Seventeen dollars and a train ride out of New York City left me in Pawling, New York. My backpack felt light, and I floated out of town, feet barely skimming the asphalt. After too many months sedentary in Mexico, staring at a laptop and trying to build a future, it felt good to be moving […]
Feet in the Fire
I woke up in an empty Airbnb ready to do something else, booking the cheapest flight I could find. 24 hours later I landed in Newark, with the vague plan of hiking the Appalachian Trail north into Massachusetts. With no definite plan, there’s nowhere to go, nothing to do. I drifted, taking the AirTrain in […]
Synthetic Leverage Tokens as High-Beta Growth Assets
It had been raining for days. The kind of rain that sits on your skin like an old friend. Someone I missed during my long Mexican retreat. Everyone in the house was sick, curled under blankets and breathing through their mouths, and I found myself in a chair that had lost its shape, watching water […]
