On Cards, Crypto, and Christ

A former professional poker player describes how his dismissal of Christianity gave way to openness after a series of personal and financial collapses. He says he lost 90% of his peak net worth after a poker downswing and crypto losses, then worked on an Ethereum game project with Kyle Davies and Su Zhu of Three Arrows Capital. During a spring 2019 stretch of heavy drinking, he tracked suicidal thoughts in a spreadsheet. The piece ends with a date, Gwen, inviting him to church, which he says he would have declined before reading Jordan Peterson and René Girard.
