Raised by a high school coach, named all-state as a high school senior and then appeared in 40+ games over four seasons as an NCAA D-1 player for Princeton.

Thought to myself, "That dude's looking for crypto books." As god is my witness, not 30 seconds later, an employee walks past and the guy goes, "Y'all have anything on crypto?"03 Oct 2026 03:58 +0000at://did:plc:eppsmw5nfmdzhfeymtzd3xbe/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwwyobkt4s23https://bsky.app/profile/brandonfriedman.bsky.social/post/3mwvxlqwlwk2gGood thread.
