+
+**Opti** — short for **Optimist Fields** — is the cohost of [[media/simply-bitcoin|Simply Bitcoin]] and a self-made e-girl. Like host [[characters/nico|Nico]], Opti's principal documented fear is that Bitcoin's victory over fiat will end the best job either of them has ever had.
+
+## Arc history
+
+Opti's canon opens in January 2023 on Simply Bitcoin's daily Spaces, weighing in on the show's post-hyperbitcoinization succession planning: "I have put my heart and soul into becoming an e-girl, and it's difficult to think about doing anything else." Thinking, per The Bugle, with low time preference about the future, Opti continued: "Maybe I can do something normal like settling down with a girl and having a family one day. I almost don't want Bitcoin to succeed because I love my job so much" ([[news/simply-bitcoin-discusses-future-rebrand-and-pivot-after-bitcoin-defeats-fiat-currency|Simply Bitcoin Discusses Future Rebrand]]).
+
+> irl: Opti is the real cohost of Simply Bitcoin; the e-girl bit is his own long-running joke.
+
+Under the full name he surfaces as a recurring drive-by target. Rod blames his on-air raspiness on "swap[ping] some spit with miss Hidalnott" — [[characters/mshodlnaut420|MsHodlnaut420]] — at a BTC Sessions party, "and Optimist Fields" moments later.[^kiss] He is the punchline of a running music feud: hearing that [[characters/noa-gruman|Noa Gruman]]'s choir Hellscore covered Linkin Park's "In The End," Richard notes "Optimus Fields would have lost his mind."[^linkinpark] And he is folded into the pleb-slop machinery — Richard pictures him doing his morning routine before he "squeeze[s] some slop on simply Bitcoin."[^slop]
