Chase "crypto-adjacent" and the flat after the float

[marius_btc_pa]

Finally got the letter framed up for the forum docs. "Crypto-adjacent activity" — that's the euphemism they landed on, like I was selling burner phones out the back of a laundromat. Been a week of phone trees and the same hold music.

And the win from last month? Already flat. Numbers on a screen again. That's the part nobody warns you about — not the loss, the *return*. Tuesday afternoon and I'm counting hours to payday like it's a skill.

Anyone else getting those letters lately, or am I the canary?

"Crypto-adjacent" — love that. Banks dressing up their cowardice in consultant-speak. They did the same dance in '19 when curacao started purging, remember? Same pattern, different costume. They want the transaction fees, just not the "reputational risk" of admitting it.

You framing it or burning it?

Same pattern, different costume banks never change
