Fierce… Courageous… Heroes

Creating a World of Heroes with Bitcoin and NFTs

By: Jamil Hasan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Heroes arise during times of great uncertainty, despair, and unforeseen disaster. Heroes can be found in purposeful commitment, dedication, and conviction. They are people who take many shapes, sizes, and forms and can be from anywhere in the world. This book explores heroes from war-torn countries, and countries with inflation. From art backgrounds to venture capital and finance. And from fierce wintery conditions to warm climates. In fact, we can all be heroes in our daily lives.


This seventeenth book in the Crypto Hipster series, entitled Fierce… Courageous… Heroes, draws upon four Crypto Hipster podcasts. Kate Taylor, a Ukrainian artist and mother, shares her story of courage during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, while fighting for both her sanity and freedom. Carlos Zambrano, a Venezuelan American, discusses his Substack article entitled What it feels like to pay $947 to fill up your gas tank. In this podcast he shares his wisdom and personal account growing up in hyperinflation in Venezuela and the role Bitcoin has in helping Venezuelans escape the impact of financial ruin. David Osterczy, founder of Oz Fine Arts Studio, shares his story of how he began to create NFTs and for philanthropic purposes. And Tim Draper, venture capitalist, author, early-stage investor and early Bitcoin pioneer, shares his vision for Bitcoin becoming a way for open governments to enrich their countries and what it is like to become a hero through Draper University.
