I've generally been pretty smart about my taxes. I set aside a good portion from any big wins and (try to) hold onto a bit of my earnings from content creation.

for example, I already have the money ready to pay my taxes from last year, but recently I got a letter from the government saying that now they want me to start prepaying based on what they expect I'll earn, relative to previous years.

now, even though airdrops and content creation income are wildly inconsistent from year to year, I need to drum up several thousand extra dollars and it's got me pretty stressed.

I'm really not an antitax human, but these are antihuman taxes.

right?

for over three years I’ve been writing, making videos, tweeting (and now casting) and just generally creating things in my own particular style.

and it’s a style that’s unapologetically me. it’s probably not for everyone but I don’t care. nothing’s truly for everyone.

things that are broadly popular are usually just so inoffensive that a larger group of people can tolerate them.

that’s not what I want to create. I create what I would want to see. I create for me.
