Samson Mow is the CEO of Jan3, a company focused on accelerating hyperbitcoinization. He is also the CEO and Founder of Pixelmatic. He was previously CSO at Blockstream. Most importantly, he is the rhythm guitar player for Satoshi Rockamoto 🎸🤘🏼😂 Samson is a #bitcoin all-star and titan of the industry. It was great having him on to hang and get something in our archives. Jan3 is currently in "stealth mode" and working on several new products, including the Aqua wallet for Bitcoin, L-BTC assets, and implementing Lightning in their next release. Aqua integrates Liquid, Lightning, and sidechains for enhanced privacy and lower fees. Most of what Jan3 is up to is on the hush-hush.... including who else is on their team, plans for mining, and all that fun stuff. We're lucky to have invested in Jan3 through our NODE 1 FUND and are excited about what they're building. THEY'RE ORANGE PILLING COUNTRIES! If you can get countries to DCA, that's a pretty big deal. Jan3 advises governments on adopting Bitcoin, particularly mining and issuing "Volcano Bonds" backed by mining revenue. El Salvador was the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender. Jan3 helped architect the Bitcoin bonds and is now speaking with leaders from other countries interested in Bitcoin adoption. Rare Toshi is an NFT marketplace built on the Liquid Network and initially developed by Blockstream. It allows artists to tokenize their work without needing Ethereum. Jan3's revenue will come from Aqua, consulting deals, and a cut of any Bond issuances or advisor agreements they arrange with countries adopting Bitcoin. The goal is to create a self-funding flywheel to drive further hyperbitcoinization.

#Bitcoin is Art! What the heck is a rare #pepe? Are you a YOLO #nft person? Talking about Scarce.City, the auction house where artists sell both physical and digital art. Did you see them at #bitcoin2023 or the previous three years of their massive art collections in Miami? Maybe you saw their incredible display in Lugano or in Vegas for PlanB/Unconfiscatable? The in-person art displays are super impressive! Commerce + Bitcoin is Scarce.City, and they have seeded the market with four cool brands. We're diving into the exciting world of Scarce.City, where art, #nfts, streetwear, a niche eBay alternative, and Bitcoin intersect. Join us as we explore the innovative platforms and projects that are reshaping the art and commerce landscape within the Bitcoin ecosystem. In our conversation with Chris, the co-founder/CEO of Scarce City, we uncover how it started and how it's going with its various brands. How they bootstrapped this company, only doing one small pre-seed round and posting 8 out of 10 quarters of profitability. This is a great example of how founders should approach their funding needs. From the ordinal inscriptions craze and sales with Ord.City, to the vibrant community-driven AI marketplace of SatsCrap.com, the "sick threads" from Pepe Flyers (streetwear brand) with a record sellout of their first shoe drop, to their flagship auction house, which has sold more than 300 #BTC in art or.... other #Bitcoin fine goods. Scarce.City offers diverse platforms for artists and collectors alike. Discover the intricacies of their revenue model, including fees and sales formats, as Chris provides valuable insights for artists looking to sell their creations on Scarce City. Furthermore, we delve into the partnership between Scarce City and Bitcoin Magazine, exploring their shared endeavors to support causes like ALS research and Free Ross. Witness how their collaboration extends beyond conferences and media coverage, seamlessly merging events, media, and commerce into a powerful synergy. As we wrap up the conversation, Chris provides a glimpse into the future plans of Scarce City, teasing upcoming events and conferences that they plan to attend. The excitement is palpable as they navigate the bear market, firmly believing in the long-term potential of Bitcoin adoption. Scarce City exemplifies its unwavering commitment to the Bitcoin ecosystem with a corporate treasury that is nearly 100% held in Bitcoin. This episode is a must-watch if you're passionate about Bitcoin, NFTs, and Bitcoin artwork. Join us as we uncover the untapped possibilities and extraordinary growth potential within the Bitcoin commerce space. From art to collectibles and beyond, Scarce City is at the forefront of the revolution, empowering artists and collectors to transact in Bitcoin seamlessly.

FUJI Money: Empowering Lending and Stability with #Bitcoin | Unlocking the Potential of #DecentralizedFinance, Lending, and Exchanges. Welcome to FUJI Money, revolutionizing lending and stability with Bitcoin-backed solutions. Unlock the immense potential of decentralized finance, Bitcoin-backed stability, and noncustodial lending with FUJI Money. Bitcoin smart contracts? Say whaaaa? In this video, we hang with Marco and dive into the exciting world of FUJI Labs. With a focus on operational conservatism and sustainability, FUJI Money stands apart from its competition, those custodial players like Nexo and Coinlend. We're in the wake of the centralized blowups! These entities, often linked to insolvent platforms, pale in comparison to the vision of FUJI Labs. FUJI is solving this. On the other hand, non-custodial players like Sovryn Zero, Liquidity, and MakerDAO, building on non-Bitcoin Layer 1 protocols, lack the native integration and security of Bitcoin and the compatibility with Lightning Network that FUJI Labs offers. From a stablecoin perspective, FUJI's FUSD distinguishes itself from the crowd of so-called "Bitcoin-backed stablecoins." Competitors like Sovryn Bitcoin's DLLR and ZUSD and DoC (Dollar on Chain) stablecoin exhibit interesting concepts but lack the purity and association with Bitcoin that FUSD embodies. Similarly, other purported Bitcoin-backed stablecoins and tokens, such as sBTC, pBTC, renBTC, BTC++, and CWBTC, rely on non-Bitcoin protocols, and actually are nothing close to resembling a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin that is actually built on Bitcoin! FUJI Money's roadmap showcases the team's remarkable progress over the past two years. FUJI Labs has laid a solid foundation from extensive research and incubation at Vulpem Ventures to the launch of FUSD and establishing exchange listings and partnerships in 2022. Looking ahead to 2023, FUJI Labs has ambitious plans, including the launch of FUJI stocks & indexes, a mobile app with an FUSD-denominated Visa prepaid card, the prototype of the Fuji Exchange perpetual futures exchange, and the introduction of Fuji Savings. These developments further expand lending and stablecoin adoption possibilities on the FUJI platform. As FUJI Money enters its open beta phase with over 1,000 testers, it aims to integrate seamlessly into the Liquid Ecosystem and collaborate with prominent wallets like Specter, Lava, and Aqua. Exciting exchange listings on Bitfinex, BTCTurk, Bitcoin Reserve, and The Rock Trading are on the horizon, along with a Premium offering in partnership with industry leaders Nexo and Ledn. FUJI Money's GTM approach demonstrates its commitment to seamless user experiences and expanding utility, including potential collaborations with Pay with Moon and Sellix.

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with IBEX CEO Jose Lemus (poweredbyibex.io).

‘A modular API platform to build Lightning fast payment and remittance applications like never before.’

IBEX is a Bitcoin infrastructure-as-a-service company that builds Lightning infrastructure for enterprise clients. It is focused on making Lightning technology ‘scalable, secure, and reliable’ for businesses that are looking to use the Bitcoin network and integrate it into its operations and services. 

IBEX is in its first stages of integrating Lightning at Grupo Salinas, one of LATAM’s largest conglomerates with 18K+ employees that ‘handles nearly 50% of remittances into Mexico.’ IBEX has already reached 5M of its users via its retail operations.  

IBEX has already connected millions of users to the Lightning Network with existing clients including Starbucks, Dominos, KFC, Subway, Wendy’s, and Pizza Hut in El Salvador. If you heard about El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin, and its Chivo wallet ecosystem, IBEX’s infrastructure was an important piece of the puzzle in setting that up. In fact, at its peak, IBEX was processing 10k+ transactions/day with 99% uptime. We love it.

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with #Relai (https://www.relai.app). Founder and CEO Julian Liniger and the Muzz Man sit down to talk about Europe's easiest #bitcoin app. Boasting that their users can buy or sell bitcoin in as little as 1 minute. This Swiss company is live across Europe and through their unique Swiss registration has been able to offer "KYC free bitcoin." You know we prefer to call it "no registration necessary" but you get the picture. Super cool company.   

How about Julian just being named one of Forbe's 30 under 30s for 2022? Well technically he has now since turned 30 but he got it just in time. Cheers to him.   

They're selling a lot of bitcoin and growing like crazy across Europe. Numbers don't lie and they have shown some serious growth since 2020.   

How about Relai being named the #4 best way to buy Bitcoin according to a recent NASDAQ article? Or even Relai being listed as one of the top 100 Swiss startups. They've been on fire and nearly every metric looks awesome for Relai.    

Talking fundraising, markets, regulations, competitors, and more. Great hanging with Julian.   

A ton of stuff to unpack here!  We're lucky to be investing, and have some great questions from our Lightning⚡️Ventures group. Excited to get something in our archives for this amazing team and we're eager to support them. We're pumped to be investing (for a 2nd time) and supporting both their mission and roadmap to come.

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with Bitcoin Beach Wallet CEO and Co-founder of Galoy Chris Hunter. Hunter sits down and talks about the progress made over the past year as well as the roadmap for the future. Soon to be rebranded as Badge, a Bitcoin first neobank for El Salvador and LATM markets, they have been firing on all cylinders since we first invested in December 2021. Badge has a lofty goal of becoming the #1 Bitcoin Bank in Latin America. In terms of El Salvador, the aim is to be the #1 bank in the country by 2030.  Wow!  2024 expansion includes Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. They are already a leading #finance app in El Salvador with over 100,000 downloads and rave reviews. The recent implementation of StableSats (by Galoy) allows people to avoid volatile price movements and maintain a stable balance without the need for a "stablecoin." Bitcoin Beach Wallet is already fully registered with El Salvador's Central Bank. We have a lot to cover here and it's always good to catch up with Chris Hunter. Just getting back from the 2nd annual Adopting Bitcoin conference in El Salvador, Bitcoin Beach Wallet made some serious waves out there. The packed product roadmap, next phases, and big-picture opportunities are very exciting. This is our first follow-on investment for Lightning⚡️Ventures. If you missed this one last year, we have another chance for our all-star group of misfit Bitcoin-only investors to participate.  

So let's dig in!  We're lucky to be investing AGAIN, and have some great questions from our Lightning⚡️Ventures group. Excited to get another episode in our archives for this amazing team and we're eager to support their efforts in building the world's largest Bitcoin community bank. We're pumped to be investing and supporting their mission, bringing Bitcoin to parts of the world that need it the most.

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with Cloaked Wireless. Co-founders Jonathan Wilkins (CEO) and Jeremy Hill (President) sit down to talk about the multi-billion dollar industries they are aiming to disrupt. These include MNOs, VPNs, ISPs & more. For starters....... Cloaked Wireless is a nationwide 5G MVNO wireless service that is focused on privacy. They claim to have solved the plaguing SIM swap/port out attack vulnerability that has become increasingly more common in recent years. Their second offering is an open-source, VPN service/Tor alternative built over the Lightning Network. LN and Cloaked Node operators will be able to earn additional Bitcoin by anonymizing data. This leverages the Bitcoin ecosystem to browse the internet privately. They forecast the average routing node operator will earn 10x more by simply upgrading his node to perform these additional tasks. Finally, this all comes together with the future option to upgrade the hardware by adding a femo cell tower and increase earnings by further supporting their wireless 5G "mesh style" network.  

Who is working on this? 🏆 Adam Back is a confirmed technical advisor for the company along with Rusty Russell, Austin Hill, and another who cannot be named at this time. Cloaked Services is getting support and feedback from multiple leaders in the cryptography and blockchain community like Greg Maxwell, Matt Corralo, and Ian Goldberg. Their previous investors include the former CFO of Blockstream, Hammie Hill, Brad Mills, Jay Gould, Michael Terpin, and John Falkory.  

A ton of stuff to unpack here!  We're lucky to be investing, and have some great questions from our Lightning⚡️Ventures group. Excited to get something in our archives for this amazing team and we're eager to support their efforts in building the world's most private and secure communications systems. We're pumped to be investing and supporting their passion for privacy being a human right.

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with VIDA Global (www.vida.page) Founder and CEO Lyle Pratt, COO Brandon Robinson, and CPO Noah Hayes sit down to talk about VIDA. For starters....... Vida helps influencers meaningfully engage with their audiences via paid calls, texts, and streams. But that's not all!  Not even close. Vida is building a valuable communications network. Vida is a movement about self-worth, time preference, and respect. If you value your own time, why give any random stranger in the world a way to distract you by making your phone buzz for nothing? Vida’s goal is to take this simple app and turn it into the largest global opt-in market for human time and attention that has ever existed. Boom!  

A ton of stuff to unpack here!  Their Vida page (10x better than linktree), newly released Vida calendar for scheduling (Calendly alternative), video streaming & audio calls w/ micropayments over Lightning, and finally the SMS and telecom capabilities.  Growing over 20% MoM with no marketing spend, they've experienced some remarkable organic growth thus far. VIDA gives legitimate people an easy and high-signal way to get in touch without spam risk. 

We're lucky to be investing, and have some great questions from our Lightning Ventures group. Excited to get something in our archives for this amazing telecommunications company, leveraging the lightning network, killing SPAM, and helping the world monetize their time and attention. We're pumped to be investing and supporting their mission of improving the standards for how we communicate.

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with Slice (www.addslice.com) Co-founders Darina Oumanski and Paul Rumpf.  Take back what belongs to you! Monetize your browser, get paid for ads, and cash in with Slice. Slice splits the ad revenue with their users 50/50. It's extremely sticky and addicting.

Slice is a Bitcoin company and people redeem their sats via Lightning for free or can withdraw via PayPal for an additional fee.  Browser-agnostic Slice works with Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge. Their second product is the Slice tab. These 2 products sit side by side as browser extensions that monetize your ads with sats. Slice also has 2 patent applications for their advertising technology.

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with DIGTL (Digital Markets) founders Kyle Fry & James Wallace McCreary.  DIGTL is best known (to date) for its work on the Blockstream Mining Note.  This is a comprehensive regulated-markets platform with a unique global infrastructure. What they have built and set out to accomplish is potentially the largest TAM we have ever seen for a Lightning Ventures opportunity.  DIGTL is deconstructing oppressive systems of control by constructing democratized and decentralized investment alternatives.  DIGTL is the only true global securities marketplace.  All asset classes are tradeable (debt, equity, funds, etc) to investors globally.  DIGTL supports digital and non-digital securities.  They have built a multi-faceted global marketplace servicing both investors and asset issuers.  We're all huge Blockstream fans, so this is right up our alley.  We're lucky to be investing, have some great questions from our Lightning Ventures group, and wanted to get something in our archives about this amazing company!

Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with Bitstack Founder/CEO Alexandre Roubaud.  Fresh out of YC (S22) batch, Bitstack is onboarding people to their Bitcoin friendly "round up" app.  Starting with an "Acorns style" round-up feature with a lot more on the roadmap.  Users stack their first Bitcoin by rounding up their purchases and saving spare change in Bitcoin. Bitstack is an on-ramp that lowers Bitcoin's barriers to entry and democratizes it for the average consumer in Europe.  Is that it?  No!  Of course not.  On the roadmap are a VISA debit card, Bitcoin cashback, Pay me in Bitcoin (payroll services/direct deposit), P2P payments on the platform (fiat and BTC), and Bitcoin-backed loans.  Bitstack launched in France 5 months ago and has gained nearly 4k active users that are saving an aggregate of $400k EU per month.  North of 70% retention after 3 months.  They are focusing on the hardest regulated EU markets first and have a very unique strategy.  Incredible co-investors and we're pretty excited.  We're lucky to be investing, have some great questions from our Lightning Ventures group, and wanted to get something in our archives about this amazing company!
