I'm Tony Long. I lost $300K in crypto, moved to Cebu, and started earning in USD while spending in pesos. Now I build online businesses from Southeast Asia and document everything in public.

The story

I didn't leave because things went well.

I lost $300K in crypto. Not in one trade — in a series of increasingly confident bets on things I couldn't control. I had skill. My position was wrong. Skill in a bad position still loses.

That loss forced me to look at everything differently. Not just how I earn money — but where I earn it, where I spend it, and what systems I build in between.

I moved to Cebu, Philippines. Started earning in USD. Spending in pesos. The gap between those two currencies became my weapon. That's arbitrage. It works in 15 countries. I'm running it from one of them — and building it all in public.
