◆ THE DIGITS — COMPLETE SET

Every single-digit .foo domain. The atoms of counting. Every number ever written is a permutation of this property.

◆ THE COUNTING SEQUENCE

The digits accumulate like a counter that never resets. Each domain is the previous one plus one digit.

◆ THE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS — 50 DOMAINS

Every question you can ask about yourself, distributed across every TLD. Someone types a price — that's the digits. Someone has a 3am crisis — that's these.

The Portfolio in One Sentence:
A Swedish man in Thailand who co-built a multi-billion dollar DeFi protocol, owns every single-digit .foo domain, runs a fleet of AI robots named after his family, got banned from a Liechtenstein private bank for writing "CAM GIRL" on a tax form, and is currently trying to get his daughter's name changed to Patty Brockman while ordering a VR headset to a Romanian apartment building where the doorbell says someone else's name.
