It was a stub until now.* + +**L0la L33tz** is a working Bitcoin journalist of the Bugleverse — a contributor to +[[sponsors/the-rage|The Rage]], the surveillance-beat publication whose ad reads open +the show, and the rare figure the Bugle covers as a reporter rather than a pundit. She +is credited in the standing cold-open sponsor spot as the byline behind The Rage's +"financial surveillance" coverage,[^rage22] and she is one of the few people paid in +what the show grants is real Bitcoin.[^paper] Her one long-form piece detonated an +entire episode; by the following winter the show's enemies-list guest had reclassified +her, on air, as "an enemy of Bitcoin."[^enemy] + +**In it with:** [[characters/richard-greaser|Richard Greaser]] · [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod Palmer]] · [[characters/shinobi|Shinobi]] · [[characters/luke-dashjr|Luke Dashjr]] · [[characters/philmore-katz|Philmore Katz]] · [[characters/david-bailey|David Bailey]] · [[characters/frank-corva|Frank Corva]] · [[sponsors/the-rage|The Rage]] + +**Arc:** [[storylines/fincen-kyc-surveillance]] · [[storylines/censorship-dystopia]] · [[storylines/core-vs-knots-war]] · [[storylines/bitcoiners-in-love]] · [[storylines/paper-bitcoin-menace]] + +## The surveillance beat + +She enters the record not as a character but as a byline. The Rage's cold-open read +pitches the outlet as "an independent publication covering financial surveillance and +a digital phenopticon,"[^rage22] and the spot names her alongside contributor David +Morris and the handle @theragetech. The read recurs unchanged nearly two years later, +still crediting her and now also Yao Ossowski, framing surveillance as a Truman Show +you never consented to: "where does that data go and what are they doing with +it?"[^rage108] Neither Morris nor Ossowski has a page here. + +The show takes her subject seriously enough to sell it, which is what makes her later +demotion pointed. In the [[episodes/enemies-of-bitcoin-with-muck-anic-bugle-weekly-episode-88|enemies-of-Bitcoin]] +episode, the guest Muck delivers the verdict that her financial-surveillance reporting +— faces "scanning your face at Walmart," "the deep state" — is itself a distraction: +"she's an enemy of Bitcoin, if you didn't know."[^enemy] It is the enemies list closing +on a journalist for reporting the surveillance the show's own sponsor sells. + +## Real Bitcoin, not paper + +When [[characters/david-bailey|David Bailey]] put her on his payroll, the detail the +show fixed on was the denomination. [[characters/richard-greaser|Greaser]] runs it +through the purity line of [[storylines/paper-bitcoin-menace|the paper-Bitcoin menace]]: +"I guess he paid her in Bitcoin and not paper Bitcoin, which is kinda interesting."[^paper] +Where Bailey himself is a charter paper Bitcoiner, the reporter he pays is graded, in +passing, as the real thing. + +## The article and the fallout + +Her one long-form piece is the center of [[episodes/be-a-good-example-bugle-weekly-episode-78|Be A Good Example]], +whose second act is literally chaptered "Untangling the Fallout from Lola Leitz's +Article." It ran in The Rage on a Thursday,[^drop] and it carried "revelations" grave +enough that Greaser opened the episode with a retained legal opinion: +[[characters/philmore-katz|Philmore Katz]] introduces himself — "my name is Phil Moore +Katz and I am a Jewish lawyer" — and offers his thoughts "regarding the revelations +from Lola Litz's recent piece, In The Rage."[^katz] The piece landed in the +[[storylines/core-vs-knots-war|Core–Knots war]]: Greaser reports spending the night it +dropped on "a space with Shinobi and Frank Korva," which Rod rated "one of the highest +signal spaces of the evening."[^space] + +Most of the fallout, though, is a defense of the two men the piece implicated. On +[[characters/luke-dashjr|Luke Dashjr]] — whom the piece caught in private group-chat +talk about forking Bitcoin — [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod]] mounts the locker-room +defense: "we shouldn't cancel people over group chat talk. It's like locker room talk +… it's just what guys transact adversarially," and no one should accuse Luke of +anything "any of us haven't talked about doing in the past."[^locker] Greaser concedes +the point but not the method: "I've talked about it but I haven't created a army of +angry plebs to follow me." + +The other defense concerns [[characters/shinobi|Shinobi]], because Luke Dashjr had +floated a theory of motive — that L0la wrote the piece as Shinobi's girlfriend. Greaser +rejects it on the Bugle's own long-standing canon: "a silly theory because we all know +that Shinobi doesn't have a girlfriend,"[^silly] the proof being that his volume of +X-spaces activity leaves no room for a relationship. The circulating "evidence" for the +theory, Rod reports, was a negative keyword search — "they did a search in Twitter and +Shinobi's never called Lola retarded" — which Greaser dispatches with a reductio: +"Shinobi's never called [[characters/lyn-alden|Lynn Alden]] retarded. Does that mean +that Lynn Alden is Shinobi's girlfriend?"[^search] + +The show then does with L0la what it does with everyone: it runs her through the +[[storylines/bitcoiners-in-love|Shinobi-matchmaking bit]]. Greaser rates the pairing "D +plus plus … a good match for each other," before disqualifying her on the one axis that +matters: "Lola, I don't think likes anime enough to be in a relationship with +Shinobi."[^match] + +> *Henry's note: the episode also has Greaser indicting a "Tomer" — "either you're +> fucking retarded or you're blind or you're a liar, Tomer" — for denying that +> journalism exists.[^tomer] The referent is a boomer Bitcoiner with "70,000 Twitter +> followers and humility in his Twitter bio" who defends Luke Dashjr; that is not +> enough to map him to any existing page, so he is named in plain text and left for a +> future `characters/tomer`.* + +## Note on the name + +The ASR never spells her the same way twice. Across five episodes she is **Lola Leets, +Lola Leads, Lola Litz, Lola Leitz, Lowell Leeds** and **Lowell Elites** — the last a +mangling so complete it reads as a different noun. Even the chapter titles disagree with +the sponsor reads. Every beat above was resolved from context; the `aliases:` exist so a +name-match scan doesn't lose her. + +> irl: "L0la L33tz" (the leetspeak handle) is a real pseudonymous Bitcoin journalist who +> has written on financial surveillance and the Core/Knots relay fight — which is why the +> satire can treat her as a genuine reporter and still put her on an enemies list. + +[^rage22]: [[transcripts/intellectual-silk-road-101-bugle-weekly-episode-22#t-278|Bugle Weekly 22 @ 4:38]] — "covering financial surveillance and a digital phenopticon"; the ASR renders "panopticon" as "phenopticon" and names her "Lola Leets" at t-284. +[^rage108]: [[transcripts/are-the-aliens-zionists-bugle-weekly-episode-108#t-38|Bugle Weekly 108 @ 0:38]] — "where does that data go and what are they doing with it?
