+Puncher is a Bitcoin Twitter regular and Maxi Madness bracket participant, a
+fixture of the morning and evening Twitter Spaces circuit.[^spaces-staple]
+In July 2026 he became one of the timeline's biggest ongoing crash-out
+stories: a former military fighter pilot and officer used to automatic
+deference, he found himself openly dunked on — by [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod
+Palmer]]'s account, "Timothy Bitcoins," "Vinny Bitcoins," and a group-chat
+pile-on involving "Mars" and "David Daley" — with none of the institutional
+respect he was used to.[^crash-out] Palmer read the episode as a symptom of
+[[storylines/boomer-problem|generational entitlement]]: nobody had ever told
+Puncher no before.[^nobody-said-no]
+
+By August he had pivoted his post-crash-out timeline presence into a
+peptide business, "Time Chain Peptides," trading on his veteran
+background.[^peptides]
+
+> irl: none. Puncher is an in-universe Bitcoin Twitter persona.
