The real story behind my robot and how it became my online identity I've actually explained this before, but I realize a lot of people probably missed it, so I figured I'd share the full story once and for all My graphic designer is from Indonesia, and he's actually the guy who's been drawing my robot all these years. We've been working together since my early crypto days. Super chill dude who's been with me for years At some point, I wanted to help him build something of his own because realistically, I knew I wouldn't always have an endless amount of work for him He told me he wanted to open a tobacco shop because smoking is extremely common where he's from, and he believed it could provide him with a stable future I was hesitant at first because obviously I'm not a fan of the health consequences of smoking, but I also understood that this was how he wanted to make a living Ultimately, I decided to help him get the business off the ground We ended up using my robot as the branding for his shop, and somewhere along the way, it became my online persona too So no, I'm not actually an Indonesian tobacco shop owner. I just helped a friend start a business, and we've been running with the robot ever since I never imagined something so simple would become such a big part of my online identity, let alone turn into years of lore and speculation Funny how things work out sometimes
