@matthewb
he studied compsci at georgia tech, traded crypto for several years with a small but growing following. exploded in popularity in 2023 largely as a result of his SOL thesis since ~ $8 post-FTX (now $170+), which was probably the best trade anyone could take with size over the last 2yr. at this point I’d broadly characterize him as an influencer and SOL maxi, but he’s also gotten involved with the memecoin meta by championing WIF to 5B and many others. he remains controversial mostly as a result of onboarding celebrities to launch coins and occasionally soft shilling lower caps.

Good summary! 616 $degen I’d also add that he’s immature and misogynistic and also launched Ansem’s Angels essentially pimping out women and often posts from strip clubs etc.

yeah, I also find his vibe sleazy at times. he is very young too, like < 25 afaik. don’t think he launched it but he was an investor in the onlyfans competitor on solana. I forget the name of the app.

oh yeah? I’ve only seen his two kids. where are you getting age 40 from? I can’t find any reliable sources.

sounds about right I previously said < 25 because he has said this explicitly on bird app (“I’m only 21” or whatever) but hard to tell to what extent he’s joking. some people do have two kids in their early 20s. 29 makes more sense though.
