About The Galleoneer-In-Chief
Forkbeard is a graduate from a prestigous London Business School who has lived in the Philippines for 15 years. He founded the very first BTC mining farm in that country in early 2013, in partnership with a local factory owner.
He imported the very first ASICS into the country in 2014 and if you bought an ASIC in the Philippines before 2016, you were probably answering one of his classified ads, or pestering him interminably to sell you one on one of many long-gone forums (Forkbeard misses decent forums. Why scroll up when you used to just be able to search? ). He used to devote the endless spare time that one gets with chronic insomnia to mastering the theory and practice of the newborn cryptophere, reaching such a precocious level of competance that his colleagues quickly nicknamed him “Mr. Nosebleed”.
Forkbeard was thus the first cryptocurrency consultant in the Phillipines. He is pretty sure he’s the first man on earth to ever charge by the hour for that particular service. With clients rangeing from individual investors, bored housewives, Portfolio Managers, trust fund babies & factory owners not knowing what to do with all thier excess solar power. He certainly “did his bit” to help plant the seed of the still-embryonic Filipino-centric cryptosphere.
Forkbeard diversified into DOGECOIN mining in mid 2014, accumulating several million which eventually became the
foundation of his rural estates (Thanks Elon!), which are colloquially whispered of in hushed tones amoung the Galleoneer community as “The Mountain”, where he does occasionally go on sabbatical for a few days on those rare occasions he loses hope in the internet. Forkbeard is a firm believer in self-sufficiency and food security and is pleased to be producing regular crops to “do his bit” in helping to eliminate the need for food imports thereby liberating the Republic of the Philippines from the oppressive tyrrany of bankster food-price speculators. The mountain also makes its abundant natural spring water resources available at no cost to some of his neighbors without a well, and he employs 3 families there.
He has also operated a very successful copyrighting business. He barely has time for it anymore but if you can’t write for shit and “like the cut of his jib” he can make your text sizzle for just $18 per word. But only if you;re trying to sell something useful. Forkeard speant years as a starving Graduate student having to spit out copy for some very scummy clients and he has earned the right to be choosey.
He has over 20 years experience in marketing (Affiliate marketing purchased his first insanely oversized SUV) and used to run an SEO and social media marketing company based in Manila but those days were long before crypto happened and ended shortly after Google decided to clusterfuck thier SEO system and cost a lot of hardworking entrprenuers and thier employees thier livleyhoods but hey I suppose Mr. Page & co figured that adding to the stock of human misery was a small price to pay in order to shoehorn the plebs into dumping thier hard-earned cash into the black hole that is adwords. Guess they failed at “Don’t be evil” long ago didn’t they?.
His other businesses include several retail and property ventures in which his waifu’s level headedness is invaluable. Thank you waifu. Everybody needs a waifu. He probably doesn’t deserve such a good waifu but then again Forkbeard never has been able to make much sense out of God’s plan for him.
Forkbeard is , yeah, believe it or not, a practicing Christian and family man with several children (That he knows of). He is a dog person but tolerates a small army of cats since waifu brought home a pregnant stray they she “just won’t get around to spaying”. However, there are so few rodents left on “The Mountain” now that he has a genuine fear that some of the kittles on the outskirts of his domain might resort to cannibalism. He is accepting DM’s if you want to adopt a Cat in the Manila area. Please. Take them away. He can’t hear himself think sometimes…
He is well-travelled and has seen 5 of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, spent a summer in Australia, visited Japan, attended 3 world cup games, has seen Rome, Constantinople, &Â Bombay, and survived being stabbed 27 times in Eastern Europe once and was just too darn stubborn to die. Julius Caesar couldn’t even take that sort of punishment. Is a man really devoting his life to a Good Cause if no one has ever tried to assasinate him? A question for the philosophers perhaps. But then again, Forkbeard has long since given up trying to make sense of the Alimighty’s plan so he’s Larping as Neptune for awhile in hopes of some new revelation whilst awaiting his next moment of clarity.
In case you haven;t figured it out, our Galleoneer in Chief has walked a unique road in life in a multifaceted variety of roles, is independantly wealthy, and does not have “quitter” written anywhere in his DNA. The GALE crypto project is in capable (If eccentric) hands, on that we may all rest assured.
