# WeazyCough

> Personal site of Weazy (@weazycough), a Spec Miata racecar builder at East Street Racing, Bitcoin and Web3 advocate, and Biblical truth-seeker. The site covers four things: professional racecar and engine building, crypto/Web3 education, the Doginal Dogs collection on Dogecoin, and long-form analysis of media symbolism and conspiracy topics from a Christian perspective.

Weazy builds turn-key Spec Miata racecars and balanced & blueprinted engines professionally, and separately runs weazy.studio, an independent web design studio. He is not a financial advisor; nothing on the site is financial advice.
