Bob
Pseudonymous memoir signed "Bob" (tipped via the handle @happyclowntime) about a 36-year-old New Orleans poker player and heroin and whiskey user who got sober in an AA meeting on October 8, 2011. He was orange-pilled around 2015 by a poker-room friend who gave him three rules - take custody, never sell, buy more - and rode the 2017 and 2021 cycles while reading and posting on Twitter. The piece ends with him finding the tip on July 18, 2022 after seeing ArizonaHODL's smash-buy tweet, stacking $6, then $8 to out-stack anon "nobody".
