• How Michael became disaffected while working on Wall Street during the Great Financial Crisis
• How Zero Hedge amplified Liberty Blitzkrieg and sent Michael on a decade-long writing path
• How Michael discovered bitcoin and the bitcoin community in 2012
• Why social media platforms need to be regulated with the principles of the First Amendment

• How outrage culture has become endemic, commodified and co-opted by existing power 
• Why the only option to fight outrage culture is to opt out
