About Stickman

Stickman was born in 1988 in Dimitrovgrad, Bulgaria, and moved with his family to Istanbul, Turkey, in 1990, starting life in a renovated basement. Despite growing up in poverty, he had a lively and social childhood, with a passion for dancing and helping others.


He pursued Electronics Communication at university, sharing a house with friends and dreaming of hosting parties and events. However, his life took a tragic turn after a car accident left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Following months of physical therapy, he returned to Istanbul to continue his treatment.

Post-accident, he faced heartbreak when his girlfriend, who initially vowed to stay, eventually left him. This led to a period of deep depression. Stickman was introduced to Bitcoin early but hesitated to invest. Later, he traded cryptocurrencies and became active in NFT communities, creating fan art with a stick held in his mouth, earning him the nickname "Stickman."


The Neuralink project gave him renewed hope, offering a chance to restore his health and rebuild his life. As he approaches the age limit of 40, he faces the challenge of moving to the USA and qualifying for this treatment to overcome the limits of his paralysis. Here is the full documentary of his life:
