Stepping Back—But Not Stepping Away
Hey guys—
This one’s a little different.
I’ve gone back and forth on writing this, but I think it’s time.
First off—thank you. Seriously. What started as me just sharing how I think about stablecoins, risk, and yield turned into something way bigger than I expected. The conversations, the feedback, the community—it’s been awesome to be a part of.
But I want to be upfront with you…
I’m going to be stepping back from running this as an active channel.
Not because anything is wrong. In fact—it’s the opposite.
I believe more than ever that stablecoins are one of the most important shifts happening in finance right now. The growth ahead is massive. I’m still fully invested, still on-chain, still allocating capital, and still positioned in public equities that benefit from this entire trend.
That hasn’t changed.
What has changed is my time.
My core fintech business—which, ironically, ties directly into a lot of what we talk about here—has really taken off again. And for the first time in a long time, I’m genuinely enjoying building it. It needs my full attention right now.
Between that and raising a family, I just can’t show up here the way I’d want to—without it feeling forced or like an obligation to post updates or constantly share the portfolio.
And that was never the point.
This was always about clarity, not noise.
So here’s what I’m going to do:
I’ll still write occasionally—when I actually have something worth saying
No forced updates, no filler, no “content for the sake of content”
Just thoughtful pieces when something genuinely interests me
For those of you who have supported this as paid subscribers—thank you. I mean that.
I’m currently working through how to issue refunds—paid subscribers will be taken care of first—and I’ll follow up on that shortly.
After that, I’ll start opening up some of the tools I’ve built. Most notably the DIY portfolio framework. Just to set expectations: the live risk grades and ongoing updates won’t be maintained anymore, but the core framework itself should still be really useful for anyone managing their own allocations.
That always felt like the right long-term move anyway.
Nothing about this is a goodbye to the space.
If anything, I’m leaning in even harder—just in a different way, behind the scenes, where my time is best spent right now.
I’ll still be around. Just… a little quieter.
Appreciate you guys.
Till next time,
The Stable Lad
