I'm a Bitcoiner.

And I know how to tell stories people want to watch.

For five years, I’ve been immersed in Bitcoin, translating two books into Georgian and creating a fundamentals mini-course. I’ve also co-created a YouTube channel and co-founded a strong brand as a Marketing Lead. At River, I want to bring those worlds together.

Stories that connect.

Here’s a selection of my work from Bitcoin and football videos to expert interviews and social content.

YouTube · Panenka · 2023

Building a YouTube channel from scratch.

I co-created Panenka, a Georgian-language football YouTube channel that reached 300K+ views in approximately six months.

My contribution focused on video concepts, title and thumbnail ideas, and creative brainstorming with the team.

Comfortable asking
the next question.

At TOK TV, a Deutsche Welle partner, I hosted a podcast and news show, conducted interviews, and worked across editorial formats.

04 / Hooks & short-form

Ideas that earn attention.

As a Marketing Co-Founder at Gojirajj Academy, I lead social content ideation, hooks, copy and everything marketing-related. The academy generated 2.1M+ combined Instagram and TikTok views in its first few months.

05 / A creative starting point

Three video directions
for River.

Everyday situations that open into bigger questions about money, ownership, and Bitcoin.

DIRECTION 01

Your Money Is Stuck in Another Time Zone

Opening: “The message arrived instantly. The money is waiting for Monday.”

Story: Follow a real cross-border payment and investigate what happens between “sent” and “received”: banking hours, intermediaries, and settlement. Then test the Bitcoin alternative, including fees, confirmations, and converting into local currency. Let the actual experience shape the conclusion.

DIRECTION 02

What Your Bank Balance Doesn’t Tell You

Opening: “Your app shows a balance. Let’s follow the money behind it.”

Story: Trace a deposit beyond the app screen: who holds it, who can use it, and what you actually own. Compare that with holding Bitcoin directly and choosing a custodian. Use a concrete example to make ownership, reserves, and trust understandable.

DIRECTION 03

Bitcoin With the Price Turned Off

Opening: “Imagine Bitcoin had no price chart. How would you decide whether it mattered?”

Story: Hide the market commentary and explore Bitcoin through three demonstrations: sending it, verifying its supply rules, and holding your own keys. Bring the chart back at the end, after establishing what the price is attached to.

06 / About me

Editorial instinct.
Hardcore Bitcoiner.
Strong Marketer.

My first encounter with crypto was in 2018. Back then, my friends and I thought cheaper coins meant a better opportunity. The disappointment pushed me to look deeper.

Books and podcasts changed how I thought about money. Over time, I became convinced that Bitcoin was the best form of money.

I’ve since translated two Bitcoin books into Georgian and created a fundamentals mini-course. What I enjoy most about creating content is educating people and helping them understand complex things in simple language.
