$HPNN In late August, I fell and hit my head hard enough to break a granite countertop.
I thank God I’m still here to tell you about it.
I want to share something personal with our shareholders and everyone who has stood by me and our team.
I have put years of long days into this business. I don’t take a salary. I live modestly. I don’t drive fancy cars or live a flashy lifestyle. I work hard because I believe in what we’re building, and I take my responsibility to our team and our shareholders seriously.
That day, I was standing at my kitchen counter, with my feet underneath the cabinet, when I suddenly felt dizzy. I fell backward and hit my head. The impact broke the granite.
That is the broken countertop you see in the photo.
Neeraj was there at the house and saw me fall. I scared the hell out of him.
Thank God Renee was there too. She put ice on my head and helped me. I ended up in a trauma hospital, and I’m grateful to the paramedics, doctors, and everyone who cared for me.
When something like that happens, it changes how you look at your life.
It changed mine.
I think differently about my time, my family, and the people around me. I thank God for another day and for the people who were there when I needed them. I have a deeper appreciation for how quickly things can change and how much I still want to do.
I’m still dealing with some lingering issues with my foot and knee. I remain actively involved in the business, and I’m grateful to have a strong team around me.
As Hop-on’s chairman and CEO, I want our shareholders to understand that support. Digitalage has a strong CEO, and we have dedicated finance, technology, and engineering teams. Our CFO, CTO, and engineers bring their own experience and judgment to the work every day.
These are people I trust. They take responsibility, solve problems, and support me. That is exactly why you build a team.
The work at Digitalage continues. We’re focused on execution, and we’ll share specific product updates through our company announcements as they are ready.
My commitment to our shareholders remains strong. I know there are real people behind those shareholder accounts. People who have put their trust in us, followed our progress, asked questions, and stayed with us through difficult stretches.
I appreciate that support, and I take it seriously.
This experience has given me more reasons to make the work count. I want to be here for my family. I want to see our team succeed. I want to see what we have spent years building reach the people we built it for.
To Renee, Neeraj, the people who cared for me, and everyone who has stood by us: thank you.
Most of all, I thank God I’m still alive.
I have a lot left to do, and I’m grateful for the chance to do it.
Your CEO is tougher than granite.

$HPNN MOST livestreams disappear into the feed.
What if every stream became a searchable, monetizable asset?
That's the opportunity behind Digitalage: live → replay → catalog, plus content protection and enterprise licensing.
Not another social app. Infrastructure.

The future of digital content isn't another social media platform. It's the infrastructure behind it.
Live streaming. Replay. AI-powered discovery. Content protection. Creator monetization.
We've spent years building Digitalage. Now we're preparing to bring it to market.
See what we're building. 🚀

@elonmusk Elon, I heard reports on TV tonight about threats against you and your children. Somebody sent me a threatening text tonight, too. My first thought was FAFO. But I’m a father of seven and a grandfather. I’d stand up for your kids, and I’d stand up for the kids of the person who threatened me.
People have every right to say they hate my guts. What the hell happens to this country if we let anyone use fear to silence somebody else? Sometimes protecting America from itself means standing up for an American who can’t stand you.
Legacy media is dead. I founded Digitalage to take its place. When ten seconds of video makes national news, you deserve to see who recorded it, when it happened, and what was said before and after the cut. That’s what verified news should give you. You decide whether the headline holds up. And you should hold Digitalage to that same standard.
We’re building this for the citizen journalist who was actually there. Our facial recognition, OCR, and deep content analysis can find a face or words on screen and take you to that moment in the original footage. We can flag threats for review. We’ve also filed a patent application for a fully encrypted identity-verification app.
And Elon, we’ve got tools in the shed we haven’t shown publicly. They work. I’d love to show you and your team at X. I think a few would impress even you.
At the end of 2025, more than 150,000 people worked at Tesla and SpaceX alone. As one entrepreneur to another, I respect what it took to build those teams. Even if we never meet or do a dollar of business, I’m proud of you, sir. You’ve got a fellow American in Temecula who will stand beside you.
God bless you and your family.
Peter Michaels Founder, Digitalage
I just received a “nice” text threatening to take a private dispute to social media.
I was already focused on finding a solution for them. Now they’ve redirected my attention to dealing with their threats. My lawyers will handle that.
If you see some clown posting about me or this dispute, send me the link. I have the documentation, but I won’t trade accusations online.
Meanwhile, I’m working to close one of the biggest deals of my lifetime, with the potential to benefit all our shareholders.
Please look out for your chairman. If you see something, let me know.
Do not threaten me again!
FAAFO.
$HPNN Good question. The target is to launch before December 31. The core platform is built. We’re bringing in additional resources now, and my plan is to turn it on as soon as the funding and final launch requirements are in place. I don’t have a firm day to announce yet.
I want enough operating capital behind this to handle a strong response. If we take off and grow toward millions of users, we need the servers, the team and the customer support to deliver.
Have you ever tried to call Google, Facebook, YouTube or another social media platform and actually get somebody who can help you?
I want people to be able to call Digitalage, reach a real person and get their problem addressed quickly. That takes a team and resources. I’m making sure we plan for that from the beginning.
I’ve put years into getting us here. I’m eager to turn it on, and I want everybody who comes through that door to have an incredible experience. That’s what we’re working to deliver.
I want you to see what this team has built.
Neeraj’s new Digitalage feature tour is now on our website. Live streaming, co-hosting, OBS broadcasting, audience chat, search, creator controls and automatic replay. Watch it in action.
Our All-Access 5-Day Pass is priced at $9.95.
I’ve put years into getting us here. Take a few minutes, watch the tour and see why I believe we can compete with the biggest names in this business.

$HPNN Jack, dividends are still on the table. We need to generate revenue and the cash flow to support them first. I’m also working on other ways to deliver value to the shareholders who have stuck with us.
This is personal for me. My family, my team and our shareholders all have a lot riding on this. I’ve put years into getting us here, and I want that work to pay off for everybody involved. That’s what I’m working toward every day.
$HPNN Jack, dividends are still on the table. We need to generate revenue and the cash flow to support them first. I’m also working on other ways to deliver value to the shareholders who have stuck with us.
This is personal for me. My family, my team and our shareholders all have a lot riding on this. I’ve put years into getting us here, and I want that work to pay off for everybody involved. That’s what I’m working toward every day.
Let me put some numbers behind what I’m saying.
One of our planning scenarios puts an outside provider’s published image-rate benchmark at $281,880 a month. The modeled OOVE processing charge is $48,168 a month.
That’s a $233,712 monthly difference in that model. These are planning figures, not confirmed enterprise video quotes or proven savings. Final pricing, processing capacity, redundancy and other operating costs still have to be validated.
Now look at what that could mean for #Digitalage.
A lower processing cost can give us more room to grow our platform, bring in creators and compete on price. And under our agreement with OOVE, Digitalage has rights to license the covered technology to other companies. Those agreements can generate revenue for Digitalage beyond our own streaming business.
That’s the part I want people to understand. We can use the technology ourselves AND pursue customers who need that technology for their own businesses.
Moderation is one example. The broader work includes music identification, fingerprinting, timestamps, provenance, rights tracking, media search and newsroom technology.
I believe there is a substantial business here. A customer wants technology that works, solves a problem and makes financial sense. That’s what we’re working to deliver.
That’s why I brought Rob Braun in, with his experience at Microsoft, Intellectual Ventures and Nokia. He understands how to take technology into licensing negotiations with major companies.
I’ve spent years building toward this. I want Digitalage earning from the platform we operate and from technology other companies pay us to use. That is a much bigger opportunity than looking at us as another social media app. $HPNN @go_digitalage #AIInfrastructure #TechLicensing #DigitalRights #CreatorEconomy
Good question. Shareholders deserve an explanation when the outstanding share count changes.
We’re still resolving legacy share issues, including a matter dating back to 2021, with our new transfer agent. That’s the cleanup I’m referring to. An increase in the reported share count does not, by itself, mean I’m dumping shares into the market.
I’m handling that cleanup while building Digitalage, pursuing licensing agreements, managing our team, and making sure we do this right. Those responsibilities are happening simultaneously.
Look at what we’ve built: live broadcasting, multi-host streaming, OBS production, audience interaction, replay, discovery and creator catalogs connected through our own media infrastructure. The core platform is built, and commercial launch validation is underway.
The opportunity is substantial. Grand View Research projects the global video-streaming market will reach approximately $416.8 billion by 2030. We’re working to earn our place in that market.
I also brought Robert T. Braun in as CEO of Digitalage because he understood the vision and the commercial potential of what we’ve built.
Rob’s background includes licensing roles at Microsoft and Intellectual Ventures, plus nearly 12 years at Nokia leading patent-licensing strategy across the Americas and parts of Asia. Before that, he spent approximately 17 years at Discovision Associates, a Pioneer Electronics company, ultimately becoming Vice President of Licensing and Managing Attorney.
His career spans licensing programs that generated more than $2 billion+ in patent-licensing revenue. He has negotiated with global technology companies, led international teams, and built licensing businesses around sophisticated technology. That experience is directly relevant to where we’re taking Digitalage.
We’re pursuing two commercial paths: operating our creator and streaming platform, and licensing selected technologies to other platforms, publishers and major technology companies, beginning with AI-assisted moderation. We built infrastructure with applications beyond our own audience. Commercializing that technology is a major part of our strategy.
I don’t take a salary. I’ve invested years of my time and effort into Hop-on and Digitalage. The shareholders who have stood by us matter to me, whether they invested directly or bought shares on the open market.
My focus is turning that work into customers, licensing agreements and revenue. I want the people who believed in this company to participate in the value we’re working to create. $HPNN @go_digitalage #Digitalage

Digitalage is ready for launch. Now we’re securing resources to scale: more servers, creators and influencers.
Facts. Open debate. Citizen journalism. Room for different opinions.
I believe our technology can take on Big Tech and win. We’re preparing for growth. $HPNN @go_digitalage #Digitalage
The Digitalage train is about to leave the station. 🚆
We’ve been building a place where creators can go live, turn the best moments into clips, and build a catalog they control.
Turn the sound up. Here’s a taste of what’s coming.

$HPPN I’m not political, but seeing how divided our country is after this election bothers me. At Digitalage, we want you to see where a story came from, check the evidence, and make up your own mind. Here’s what that looks like.

Creators keep 85%. Broadcasts keep working after they end.
@go_digitalage completes its core creator platform and opens enterprise licensing for its AI-assisted text moderation.

Today I got the call nobody wants. Mom: “Honey, somebody crashed into me. I’m in the middle of the intersection.”
Thank God she’s OK. I think it scared me more than her.
Thank you to law enforcement and the fire department. Life is precious. Hug your mom. ❤️
