small tangent for just a sec. Tangents are the best part. This one's hilarious. There's a long story to it, but the long and the short is basically there was one investor who offered to invest in us. I met him through telegram.

I used to work in crypto so I know a lot of, oh, you know, people in in crypto. And so he offered to invest in us. asked us to come to Amsterdam to meet him because he doesn't do business without a handshake deal first and seeing you face to face. So I went backdoor and started looking this guy up. Looked like he was a great guy.

Looked like he was investing through family offices and things like that. However, uh it turned out the man I was talking to on a Zoom meeting was actually not who he said he was. He was using some sort of AI filter to filter his face and pretend to be this person and try to get me to come to Amsterdam. So always do your research.
