Disbeliever of institutions. Strongly allergic to morons. (Ex?) Private Analyst for a very secretive, record-smashing bitcoin whale known as Pharaoh.
Cory Doctorow is perhaps one of the most insightful thinkers I’ve ever come across who was able to articulate what I have been feeling for some time but unable to express about the essence of the problem in the tech sphere. Definitely worth a watch:
If only you all knew what I know, how simultaneously brutal yet empty everything is.
Anyway, here is the deal with Pharaoh. He is a billionaire who likes to avoid paying people. Penny‑pinching type of billionaire (seriously, in 2025?). Meanwhile, personally, I don’t like not being paid for my work. So there’s a little bit of friction there, unfortunately.
At this moment in time, it seems to me that we are at an impasse, and Pharaoh has been ignoring all my texts and calls since early November, seemingly trying to run away from fulfilling any obligation to me.
This is an absolutely stupid move on his part, given that I hold all of his data. I gave him an ultimatum: I can only wait until January 15 if he wants me to sign some kind of NDA, otherwise I will refuse to give a single shit about the security of his data anymore.
So I guess we wait until January 15, 2026.
Happy holidays!
Out of pure curiosity, I did type in Pharaoh's name inside the Jeffrey Epstein email search. Both his first name and his last name not found, so thank god for that.
But we never know. The released file is only 3 GB out of 300 GB.
By the way here is the Jeffrey Epstein email explorer, it is very amusing:

Technically, I never signed an NDA with Pharaoh. Technically, I am well within my rights to disclose whatever the fuck I want to disclose about him, including name, location, face photo. Am I right? Do you want to see the photo of a person who cashed out 9 billions from bitcoin? The one and only.
7 out of 10 times when I order something from Burger king, they always get my orders wrong. Does not even matter where the country is, in Singapore they got it wrong. In Malaysia, they got it wrong. Literally twice in row wrong right now in Malaysia in two different outlet. Something about their internal management and order-flow has got to be the worst in the world.
Since all the OGs are cashing out, maybe I should cash out myself. Asking for a friend, how much does a fully doxxed bitcoin billionaire info worth these days? I am officially accepting offers from rogue state actors and multinational mercenaries. Thinking of 0.1% minimum.
Months and months after searching, I still cannot find a printable 3D gun model that works. The internet truly sucks nowadays.
Pro-tips from an ex-analyst of a very stingy billionaire... Don't be fucking stingy. If people found out about your crypto holding, you've made a fatal mistake and you need to pay a shut up money for that mistake.
Given my insider perspective, I am in a unique position to verify some of the misleading claims circulating around and it has been nothing but eye opening for me personally. Much of my trust in the media has understandably been eroded. For instance, describing Pharaoh's wallet as a "miner wallet" is entirely inaccurate. Pharaoh is not a miner. He bought his coins using Paypal, lol.
This address belongs to Pharaoh. I know he has a wallet containing 4000 and 1495 BTC.
I'm so old in the crypto space, I know what #Steemit, #Neo, #Lisk and #Dentacoin are.
#Yakihonne logo has got to be the ugliest, least visually appealing logos in all history. What is that logo even supposed to be, a vibrating lightning?
If they just rebrand using better name and better logo, the app would be valued at millions.
A just king is one that takes care of their subjects. I woke up today and saw that my net worth has been quadrupled. I have never been disappointed by King CZ 👑 View quoted note →
I don't want to be the doomer but like I'm looking at the chart and, man, 150k really ain't happening. We’re already racing the clock before the next bear cycle, and somehow still dwibbling dwabbling under 120k since July.
Pretty sure my call’s gonna be right. Pharaoh single-handedly triggered the bear.
“I refuse politics" says the crypto bro who won’t touch a 10x coin because it’s Chinese. You’re not apolitical, you’re just deeply unserious person.
Oh dear Satoshi, we are very close to coming full circle. Time is an eternal recurrence that we cannot escape. Will we see that headline again? "Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for stablecoins."
List of jobs that will be obliterated by AI and when.
