First Sit-Down
Blog icon"Pegged", a crypto*thriller
Aug 25
The Acapulco is quieter on weeknights. A few locals linger on the terrace, their voices softened by the warm air. Buba sits at a corner table, a scarf draped across his lap like an afterthought. He looks up as Alias steps out from inside. “May I?” Alias asks. Buba grins, tilting his head. “Of course, Mr. Banker. I thought you only watched from behind glass. Now you sit with the merchandise.” The waiter sets down two coffees without a word. Buba thanks him quickly in Spanish, then raises his c...

Aug 23
Act 1The Acapulco bar is wedged between a pharmacy and a real estate office, two streets back from the sea. Its terrace is crowded in the late afternoon: golfers with pink faces, French families in linen, a handful of locals nursing coffee. Waiters slide between tables with trays of olives, beer bottles slick with condensation. Buba moves easily among them, a folded stack of shirts under his arm, a scarf draped loose in one hand. Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton—good counterfeits, discree...

Chang’s Masterpiece
Blog icon"Pegged", a crypto*thriller
Aug 22
The lab was a converted basement in Seoul, humming with the constant breath of machines. Fluorescent tubes buzzed faintly overhead, a second pulse to the steady churn of cooling fans. Chang sat alone at the terminal, eyes dry, fingers restless. On the screen, a lattice of code folded into itself, unspooling and locking down like a trap that would never release. Finality. That was the word that had held him for years. Every blockchain bragged about it, but he knew better. They patched, forked,...

The Wisdom of Crowds

Aug 20
The hall in Stockholm was all glass and steel, the kind of place where economists liked to pretend they were engineers. Rows of professors, NGO staffers, fintech consultants, and a scattering of crypto bros in slim suits and pastel sneakers. The banner across the stage read: “The Economics of Uncertainty.” Sofia glanced down the table. She was the youngest panelist by two decades. The moderator opened with a broad question about the “wisdom of the crowds.” A senior professor from Zürich leane...

Aug 19
The Hôtel Métropole’s bar in Geneva was made for secrets. Its lights glowed low amber, the tables polished like piano lids, the air heavy with the unspoken fact that everyone here was on someone else’s expense account. Raj adjusted the cuff of his charcoal jacket, the wool tailored to fall just so over his wristwatch. He never wore anything that glittered, nothing that screamed for attention. His presence drew eyes because he carried it lightly, not because he demanded it. She was already the...

Aug 18
Amara sat cross-legged on the mat, folding each slip of paper the same way — square, anonymous. Some had names, some numbers, some only marks; all went into the bowl. It didn’t matter how you entered — once folded, each slip was equal. Above the grocery shop, two dozen people sat on plastic stools, waiting. A single bulb buzzed overhead, shutters drawn tight. Everyone knew what the lottery funded: teachers on strike, banned papers, rice for prisoners’ families. Hope was dressed as luck. Ko Th...

Alias left them at the table and did not return for hours. By midday he had gone all the way down to the village. He walked fast, as if distance could burn the rage out of him. In the bakery he bought bread he didn’t need. In the grocery shop, coffee, salt, soap — things anyone could have carried. At the post office he stood in line behind farmers, pensioners, students sending parcels. Their ordinary errands moved with a rhythm he no longer felt part of. His own packet — blank envelopes and s...

Aug 16
The kitchen smelled of woodsmoke and bread. Sofia was slicing a loaf, Chang’s laptop cast a blue glow over the table. Raj and Amara came in together, brushing snow from their coats, still laughing at something unheard. Alias froze. His jaw clenched before the words were out. “You think this is a game?” The laughter died. “Two of you walking in like that,” Alias pressed on, voice rising, “like nothing matters. Like the world isn’t watching. Affection gets people compromised. Patterns get peopl...

Dear readers, The primary goal remains: Complete the first draft of the Pegged thriller by September. The past weeks have been split between structural adjustments to Acts 2 and 3, and significant progress on the Pegged Protocol White Paper. While scene drafting has been limited, the groundwork for both the narrative and its embedded philosophical ideas is stronger than ever.

Blog icon"Pegged", a crypto*thriller
Jun 15
(Ava’s thoughts and annotations in italics) The National Unity Government (NUG), operating in exile following the February 2021 coup in Myanmar, launched a dissident lottery on 15 August. The objective was precise: replace the junta’s state lottery as a fiscal mechanism and fund the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM)—a nationwide strike of public-sector workers refusing to serve the military administration. Of course. You always look for counter-systems that operate inside the familiar but red...

June 14, 2025 Dear readers, It’s been a slower writing month, at least on the surface. I didn’t get as much time to draft new scenes as I had hoped—but I’ve been working beneath the narrative line. The core goal remains the same: Complete the full first draft of the book 1 by September. In the background, I’ve been focused on the deep structure of Acts 2 and 3, with significant rewiring of narrative flows—especially how emotional and philosophical tensions escalate.
