Biography

Rezzed September 29, 2006

IntLibber Brautigan first joined SL to promote his political blog, The International Libertarian and to hunt for new stories for it within the free market community of SL. While doing so, he interviewed Meta Bank owner Thor Columbia, who educated him on the ins and outs of the SL economy.

Recognising the SL economy was in the grips of an economic singularity, he chose to enter the land business as his first venture. Starting with just $200 in google adsense earnings from his blog, he was at first going to buy 1/8th of a sim in the Surreal Estates. However, Meta Bank earned so much new business from the interview article that they agreed to waive age-based lending rules (avatars normally were required to be 30 days old to borrow money) to finance a half sim purchase.

Within two months IntLibber had paid off this loan, and got in on the grandfathered sim pricing as LL was raising sim prices with the introduction of the Class 5 sim. Raising capital for 10 sims, IntLibber's company, Brautigan & Tuck Holdings, grew to 12 sims within its first four months.

During this time, IntLibber was also earning a reputation as an SL architect. He was commissioned to build the island of Wailoa in Peret region, and then was hired by LukeConnell Vandeverre to build the first World Stock Exchange/Hope Capital Building in Yawgoo region on the mainland.

IntLibber was also earning a reputation for anti-greifing and security devices, and when the WSE was griefed several times, he convinced Luke to move the exchange to the BNT sim of Friedman when it reopened after recoding in March of 2007, so as to provide better security. This began the golden age of capital investment in SL.

By June, however, WSE had moved from Friedman to its own sim, and AVIX took its place in Friedman. When AVIX was sold by its CEO to Arbitrage Wise of JT Financial in August of 2007, Brautigan determined that his estate needed its own exchange that it controlled to ensure its financial stability.

By the end of October, 2007, the Ancapistan Capital Exchange had opened its doors in the BNT sim of Venture Square, and has quickly grown to become the premier virtual capital exchange in Second Life.
