Gentlemen, have I got an investment for you. Now I'm sure you're mighty skeptical of the markets right now in light of the recent downturn and that bit of funniness with Bitcoin Cash, but I assure you, this is no fly-by-night altcoin copypasted into creation by a handful of over-arrogant autistic individuals -- no, I say again, I have a real investment for you boys.

Lumens are the flagship currency of the Stellar Network, a tool to ensure liquidity on the platform, which plans to handle cross-currency transactions on a global scale. "Plans to handle", right? Well I tell you it's already doing so -- in Africa and Southeast Asia, trustworthy remittance companies are already using this platform, and they have their sights set taking down the big ol' Western Union, which I must, despite its size, is looking a little clumsy these days. A real David and Goliath story we're looking at here, boys.

And who better to have front and center in such a story than a real Hell of a little Jew with a chip on his shoulder, Sam Altman. That's right, I say Sam Altman is an advisor to the project. Got a problem with Jews? You wouldn't be the first. Aside from advisors, we Patrick and John Collison onboard and, through their company Stripe, in possession of 25% of all Lumens. Boys, these are a couple of fighting Irishman you sure as hell want on your team -- one of them, John, is the youngest billionaire in the world!

Now I could hammer you over the head with details -- Lumen ownership by Deloitte, one of the Big Four accounting consulting firms, or Stellar's partnership with IBM -- after all, the devil is in the details, and damn important to get them right. But I look at you fellas and I see a crowd that can smell a deal from a mile away like a real Minnesota hunting hound, am I wrong?

I'll let the snek speak for itself ;)
