Among the 'Minds That Matter'

Just found out that IBTimes has included me in its "Minds That Matter: Entrepreneurs to Follow in 2025" feature. I particularly value this recognition from a publication known for its thorough analysis and deep understanding of the technology sector.

What also caught my eye is how our work at Holiverse fits into the bigger picture of technological evolution. Each entrepreneur on this list is tackling different challenges from different angles — from blockchain infrastructure and AI integration to creativity and self-development. As for us, it's about genuinely enhance human potential.

This is just the beginning. The world is looking more and more like ready for what we want to bring to it. Looking forward to sharing some major developments really soon. There's still so much potential to unlock. Keep working.

MSN on Holiverse and the Future of Technology

When I started working on Holiverse, it was clear to me that the metaverse is not just a digital space. It is a tool that can change lives, helping people grow, take care of their health, and achieve financial independence.

In a new MSN article, I shared the key directions that define our path today:
Personalized health – DNA-based programs and AI allow us not just to react to diseases but to prevent them, making health management proactive.
Web3 financial technologies – We create solutions that empower users to manage their assets and secure their future without the limitations of traditional finance.
Social responsibility – The “Friendship Bracelets of Goodness” project is not just charity; it’s a way to provide people with tools for independent development.

I firmly believe that the future belongs to technologies that serve people rather than creating new dependencies. Holiverse is a step toward a smarter, more conscious, and technology-driven society, where everyone has access to opportunities that were once out of reach.

"Nothing is impossible" - this became the theme: of the film, the Event, and our projects.

Watch the event teaser on YouTube, or right here, in Telegram

I haven't told or showd anything for a long time, although many events have happened, many processes have been activated.
Now that the time of radical transformations has ended, it's time to start revealing everything, step by step...

Behind the Celebration

With each new event, birthday celebrations included, we create a comprehensive project—orchestrating everything from event coordination to distinctive media content production—where every detail demands careful attention.

These events are more than just gatherings. They are opportunities to celebrate, connect with close friends and key partners, showcase our latest projects and ideas, and cultivate valuable relationships.

Creating videos and photo materials is also a separate major task. Organizing everything the way we do is challenging, as we don't follow conventional templates; instead, we craft experiences that reflect our unique perspectives and standards.

This intensity isn't for everyone; even some team members sometimes can't keep up with the pace and choose to leave. But those who stay with us share something special: they are genuinely inspired, finding joy in creating something new and unique. Together, we bring to life ideas that might seem impossible to others.

While today's birthday footage will be in production for some time, I'm excited to share this exclusive video we prepared from the previous birthday that we haven't shown anyone yet. Finally, we're presenting it!

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the warm wishes! Friends, family, my team, and community — everyone around me keeps getting better. Some people leave, new ones come in, and those who stay continue to grow and evolve. As a result, my circle becomes richer and stronger with time.

In the photo: the peak moment of a jump into the pool. To me, it perfectly captures the spirit of what’s happening in my life — I work with passion, I rest with passion, and I live each moment with that same intensity.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Thanks to the Universe. Thanks for everything that is happening!

Have you ever been paid for your health data being used by medical institutions? Probably not — even though that data is really valuable to them.
At Holiverse, we think it’s time to change that. Not just with health data, but with a bunch of other things in medicine too.

Today we met with Dr. Dmitry Chebanov and recorded an interview about health, medicine, and genetics.
We also talked about how people can earn — for sharing their health data and for inviting others.

And this isn’t a one-time thing. Big pharma and research institutions need this kind of info regularly — which means they’re ready to pay for it like a subscription.

Starting from scratch.
After the disaster that struck, there was simply no other choice — I had to start over. From the very beginning.

(A quick recap for those just tuning in: I was betrayed. Huge sums of money were stolen. All my work — every development, every piece of data — gone. I was left with nothing. And if that wasn’t enough, they even sent thugs after me.)

I catch myself thinking — for years, I kept playing with this idea of a fresh start, a new beginning, repeating the same lines:
“This is just the beginning.”
“We haven’t even started yet.”
“The best is yet to come.”

But what was that “eternal beginning” thing really about? Because the truth is — at that moment we’d already built so much. We’d already achieved a lot. So why did I keep saying it?

At some point, the traitors thought they had won. They believed the community would follow them. And why not? At that moment, they had everything. I had nothing.

But they were dead wrong.
You can steal money. You can steal data. You can even steal a product. But none of that matters without vision. Without mission. Without that eternal beginning — the restless drive to find new ways, to make the world better, to lead your people forward and never stop.
In other words — without me. Without what I bring. Without
what I stand for. The very reason why I live and breathe.

And when I saw that clearly — when I finally understood what that beginning I always talked about truly meant — I knew one thing: No one will ever break me. Not me.
Not my vision.
Not my team.
Not my community.

Right now, I’m fired up about the upcoming launches — and both of our communities are in for something truly powerful.
We’re moving forward — faster and bolder than ever before.
And now, more than ever, I can say with absolute certainty: This is just the beginning.

In a recent interview with Benzinga — about the revolution Holiverse is preparing and why it is critically needed today.

Modern medicine has become a system where long-term treatment generates more profit for the system than actual healing.

Clinics simply have no economic incentive to fully cure you. Instead, they are interested in selling you a "subscription" for endless treatment—more tests, more examinations, more visits, more medications...

At Holiverse, we're developing a fundamentally different model where you gain full control over your health and can even earn from your own medical data.
Who benefits when you never fully recover? How do we aim to transform a system built for decades on maintaining treatments rather than preventing diseases in the first place?

Meet HOLIGUARD FIRE — our dance ensemble and one of the embodiments of the global saga Statiguards vs. Holiguards.

It’s been a true gift to meet and work with Bachana Chanturia — the ensemble’s choreographer and artistic director.
We’re on the same wavelength, creating effortlessly and with fire.
Bachana is one of a kind: he works at a pace no other choreographer in the world dares to follow — combining intensity, innovation, and deep respect for tradition.

We build on the power of Georgian choreography, which I believe to be the most powerful in the world.
Our global multiverse, Statiguards vs. Holiguards, comes to life through:
— films, produced with true Hollywood scale,
— comics,
— books,
— immersive experiences in our Metaverse games,
— and now — through dance.

At its core, this saga is built on the opposition of two forces:
Statiguards fight to preserve the existing order.
Holiguards fight to awaken the true nature of the human spirit.

I love dance, and I know how limitless it can be when it comes to expressing an idea — especially one as powerful as the message at the heart of our saga. That’s why this ensemble has become an inseparable part of our vision.

Right now, we're preparing for a spectacular show on the most prestigious stage in Dubai — an event that marks the beginning of a powerful new chapter.
For the ensemble. For us.

We had a series of productive discussions with Varvara Sapronova about our ecosystem, business vision, and roadmap. Our collaboration with Varvara is set to be long-term, and our conversations turned out to be so rich and engaging that they evolved into an entire series of interview-style talks.

We released the first episode yesterday on YouTube:
