The Power to Exit
It’s vulgar. It’s blunt. And it’s been the dream behind every investment since investment began: fuck-you money.

Not wealth for status. Not riches for show. But enough capital to say no — to the job, the system, the rules. The freedom to choose, or disappear.

This work captures that sentiment. It’s not about excess. It’s about escape.

Crypto intensified the dream. It wasn’t just about financial independence — it was about digital sovereignty. A wallet that no one could freeze. Assets without borders. Exit liquidity turned literal.

But fuck-you money is also a mirror. It asks: who are you when you don’t have to comply? Who do you become when no one can say no to you?

This isn’t a celebration. It’s a confrontation. Autonomy has consequences.

The phrase is crude. The concept is profound.
