I know most of us had a steady stream of Hollywood, Disney and Netflix, after our safe and careing grandmothers quited reading us fairy tales
I know Hollywood, Netflix and Disney became Big Business eversince
Never dreamt though, that Big Business became Hollywood, telling us the old fairy tales over and over again, to put us all asleep
Hey Walker, hows the young family going? Just tuning in to your reading of Lyn's publication. At 1:37 after start, translation makes the halving a having. Free money is not money for free haha
Very best to you all and cu on Nostre
Spoken i mean, not sokken nonwords. What else i do mean. Most of my life, i tried to keep peoples alive. Quite some veterans too, including blackops so i knew a bit about that world. Then that nasty covid thing came and with it the lies, the corruption not to plea guilty, no openness. Lies and corruption. Lots of my still ill collegues lost their homes, their partners, their lifework. Money gone to treatments that are not covered by insurrance and the treatments that are, are marginally or not helpfull at all. But the science powercard is drawn and so bye bye money to participate in the world again. Contribute to a better world for our children and theirs. Instead of living in the dark 22 out of 24 hours day in, day out. But who cares. Big companies got loads of money. We don't get nothing for taxes paid, nothing but more corruption and lies. Greedy stuff from the hunterkillers that never get enough. Oh yes, the politicians were so thankful for us, working through the waves. Standing strong despite the healthrisks. But the bonusses gone elsewhere, to big companies. If only somewhat of that went to real independent quality research but even there. Despite firmly believing in science, science too is misused far too often. But what do we do, what do i do?
Well...despite a f*ckedup brain, i found btc. With it Nostre. Its a pain in the ass to learn but i also found a community that share the value of caring for each other, for Nature. Not that divide and conquer but built to reconnect again. So yes Nico. I fully agree. It brings me hope that being in that frontlinie for so many years, was not just for nothing.
And if anyone wants to sent me something because of my story, please sent it to the developers, not me. Support the builders. That's the best we can do.
Well sokken Nico, again. Tumors grow big and kill ya. Why should the Blackrocks, Wallstreets, network corruptions and debt policy be any different?
Excited to be kicking this off.
ego death capital raising $100 million Fund II
In 2021, ego death capital was officially launched as a venture capital firm. Andi Pitt, Nico Lechuga, and I, along with Preston Pysh, Lyn Alden and Pablo Fernandez as advisors, saw an emerging opportunity to invest, through ego death capital Fund I, in companies that would both accelerate the Bitcoin ecosystem and allow us to work alongside some of the most amazing entrepreneurs of our time. Most of the “smart” money at the time still hadn’t realized that #Bitcoin was emerging not only as the preeminent store of value, but equally important, the first layer (tied to energy) of a new peer-to-peer decentralized internet of money. Because of this, many venture funds didn’t understand the difference between Bitcoin and everything else, which is probably still true today. Bitcoin was scaling in layers and there was now an opportunity to build enduring businesses on a stable and secure foundation. The thesis of Fund I was to take advantage of that asymmetry in knowledge and help the best entrepreneurs build value for users. The #Bitcoin ecosystem at that time was still quite small. We raised $25.2 million in Fund I + a $7.5 million SPV to ensure a disciplined focus on companies that could be enablers of the transition underway.
We’re extremely proud of the entrepreneurs in our Fund I portfolio companies, their teams, and their success to date. So far in Fund I, we have led funding in Fedi, Breez, Synota, Relai, and Wolf, along with two companies in stealth. Our thesis proved correct, and many of our portfolio companies (as well as others in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem) are now experiencing incredible growth, with much more expected on the horizon. Real companies, bringing real value to users – and growing as a result.
In 2024, the funding market still hasn’t caught up to the opportunity, and a significant gap exists in Series A funding for Bitcoin only companies. This makes sense because a majority of venture capital still doesn’t understand the transformative nature of the Bitcoin protocol nor how it is emerging in layers. Without this key knowledge, it would be hard to understand the profound shift this entails to businesses in the future. This leaves Bitcoin only entrepreneurs not only pitching on the value and metrics of their business, but in parallel trying to “teach” capital that has been burned with their crypto investments about a new protocol. To add insult to injury, it is many of these same Bitcoin only entrepreneurs who warned of the various scams in the crypto/web3 market in the first place. It’s not a stretch to say that those building on Bitcoin prefer a partner who understands and is focused on it. For any entrepreneur, it is hard to imagine building enduring trust with a financial partner who doesn’t share your world view.
One of the most exciting things about the Bitcoin space is the extraordinary talent it attracts from all over the world. Having a front row seat at the profound shift that the internet demonstrated and how it attracted the best and brightest, I honestly didn’t think I would have another chance to experience it. Instead, we’re experiencing something even more powerful than the rise of the internet. An exponentially growing talent pool of entrepreneurs, users, and capital who fully understand that the most profound challenges of our time are unable to be solved from the very system creating them. Who instead of trying to optimize from within that broken system, have decided to focus their time, talent and capital on a parallel system built on Bitcoin that changes the world.
That dedication applies to our team too, we are very excited to announce that Lyn Alden and Preston Pysh are joining Fund II as partners. Through their work as advisors to Fund I, we already know the incredible value to the fund and companies in it they provide. In addition to our new partners for Fund II, we are adding renown Bitcoin and Lightning Network expert, Lisa Neigut alongside Pablo Fernandez as an additional technical advisor. We are also fortunate to add Pete Briger (Chairman of Fortress Investment Group) as an advisor to Fund II. Besides being a long time Bitcoin advocate, Pete helped to build Fortress into one of the preeminent financial firms of our time. These moves deepen our own bench with incredible people so that we in turn can continue to deliver value to the entrepreneurs and investors we serve.
While it is still early and there will be many ups and downs along the way, a transition from the world operating on top of a dishonest ledger, to the world working on top of an honest ledger is firmly underway. That transition will create incredible business opportunities, while bringing hope and abundance to billions of people around the world.
We feel super fortunate to be a part of it.

First of all, congratulations! May you guys succeed where the Spanish soccerteam Real Madrid once failed. Getting the best players of the world into an unbeatable team. It was Fiat money, greed and inflated egos back then but now there's btc, Nostre and ego death. What could to wrong :-)
Ego death? From Shamanic ego death rituals? The rituals to leave behind inflated ego (centrism), anxieties, greeds, overly attachment to the material and all fantasies and selfconfirmations? To prepare for egoless servantship for the communities and Nature itself, the Earth we all have our feet upon? That ego death?
Can tell from experience, it is mind-blowing stuff. Like the Lakhota so beautifully say: may you walk well on your own journey, and that we never forget to keep The Childrens Fire burning.
I warmly wish you all that. May the Fire be good to us all
My reputable collegue, ret.psychiatrist Anthony Louis, shared a very recent facebook surveillance incident and he's not the only one. Defintly the honest and trustworthy big5 are on steam protecting us from terrorists like this US psychiater: https://tonylouis.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/facebook-has-gone-nuts/
Was a great show. Unfortunately the massive hostaging of medical data didn't pass by. Was pretty involved into that since the first robbery attempt back in 2015, all insurance companies and governement simply neglecting the highest courts and getting away with it all, until we could show their actions to the public. That stopped it for a little while. With that data they decided who was going to get a loan for houses, what insurance bills were to be pair etc. Illegal according to all judges but highly profitable to the companies. Also they gave non medic (with no healthcare secrecy obligation towards patients) personal free access to highly sensitive healthcare data.We won the first attempt and kept patients data safe back then but now the floot of theft is massive. Insurance companies, our professional representative organisations, the governement itself, to grasp all this patients data for free now. They play the quality improvement-card. Our small club of independent healthcare professionals who fought for real privacy for our patients (we have a secrecy as medicine peoples), we only back then had money for one lawyer. Each insurance company came with 10+ expensive lawyers (just ask them how much of your money really is spent on healthcare. We found out about 15 % -30 % of each dollar). Now many of us are ruined by massive accusations of frauding their freely changed rules, protection is gone and in paying to survive for their patients, more than one of the professionals i know and worked 9n the protection of patientsdata are broken. So not enough money for our laster anymore.
Where are all the big media newspapers covering this news?
