2021-03 summary

Across March 2021 recordings, Daniel repeatedly described a stock market correction tied to Treasury bond yields that erased much of his prior trading gains, with portfolio losses reaching as much as 40% before yields stabilized and he rotated back into tech and Bitcoin-mining stocks.

Technical streaming problems recurred throughout the month, including Streamlabs disconnections and stream cutoffs when leaving the bedroom, prompting switches between the Twitch app and mobile streaming; a February copyright strike and ban from Tim Schofield stopped Daniel's livestreaming until April 22nd.

Interpersonal conflicts featured prominently: Cesium left Pia at Daniel's house and later sent Chihiro messages accusing Daniel of breaking up his relationship, while separate messages to other creators alleged Daniel had stolen footage, been unfaithful, and inappropriately touched girls.

Daniel discussed the end of his relationship with Mila (also called Meida), described across sources as a mutual breakup, a Boxing Day split, and a second post-Christmas breakup followed by blocking her, alongside resurfacing feelings of missing his former wife Chihiro.

Daniel described ongoing feelings of loneliness, boredom, and emptiness during lockdown, questioning whether his life had been wasted, expressing disappointment over limited birthday contact despite his subscriber count, and reflecting on aging and past choices.

Gaming and gear content included a negative review of Apex Legends on the Nintendo Switch Lite, an unboxing of a RAT PRO mouse for Rainbow Six, and Rainbow Six Siege gameplay and operator discussions.

Investment strategy shifted repeatedly between speculative growth/tech stocks and value assets like banks and oil, including selling NIO for Exxon, Bank of America and Walgreens Boots, and later moving back into Tesla and Bitcoin mining shares.

Several matters remained unresolved or unclear, including whether Cesium's actions were trolling or reflected a mental health issue, whether the Pia incident was a prank, whether an assault in Rotterdam was racially motivated, and why feelings about his former marriage resurfaced in March.

Through March, Daniel's portfolios swung sharply: a mid-February market decline tied to Treasury bond yields wiped out prior gains, with Riot Blockchain falling from 22,000 to 15,000 and another account dropping from 7,800 to 6,800 before stabilizing.

After exiting BNGO, Microvision and NIO at heavy losses, Daniel rotated funds into bank and oil stocks, then back into tech and Bitcoin mining shares, buying Tesla near $660, Riot Blockchain shares for £5,000, Argo Blockchain for £4,600, and BNGO shares for £1,000.

A February copyright strike and stream ban from Tim Schofield led Daniel to stop livestreaming until April 22nd to protect his channels.

Cesium drove overnight from Somerset and left Pia at Daniel's house; Daniel arranged a hotel stay for her, after which Cesium sent messages to Chihiro alleging Daniel had broken up his relationship, prompting Daniel to explain the situation to Chihiro.

Daniel's relationship with Mila (also referred to as Meida) ended, described variously as a mutual breakup after repeated friction and as Mila ending things on Boxing Day; a second breakup after Christmas was followed by Daniel blocking her.

Despite relief after the Mila breakup, Daniel later described missing his former wife in March after reviewing old photos, feeling nostalgic and empty about the marriage, though the reason for this resurfacing was unclear.

Messages sent to creators Elvis the Alien and Tim alleged Daniel had stolen footage, been unfaithful, and touched girls inappropriately; the extent to which these allegations influenced Tim's copyright strike was unclear.

The cause of recurring stream dropouts when leaving the bedroom and whether the heating was ever fully repaired remained unclear.

How long the market correction and recovery of specific stocks would take remained uncertain throughout the month.

Whether Cesium's behavior toward Pia and Daniel stemmed from trolling, a prank, or a genuine mental health issue was unresolved.

Whether an assault Daniel experienced in Rotterdam was motivated by anti-Asian bias remained unclear.

Whether hostile messages sent to other creators influenced Tim Schofield's decision to issue a copyright strike against Daniel was unconfirmed.

Whether Daniel would resume streaming on April 22nd as planned, and when Japan might reopen its borders, remained undetermined.

Whether Daniel's described boredom and reduced sexual interest reflected depression or a resolved 'sex addiction' rather than simple laziness was left unclear, and should not be read as a diagnosis.

Why feelings of missing his former marriage resurfaced in March, and whether Daniel genuinely wished to return to Japan, were both left unresolved.
