I'm Tony Long.

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.

Today I run Galaxy Arbitrage Weekly, a newsletter for Americans living abroad, and ExpatBuildr, a studio building landing pages and conversion funnels for expat founders. ExpatBuildr is where I document all of it — the wins, the math, and the mistakes.
