10/31/23: Will SBF Remember BTC's Quinceañera? 🎂🥴🙌

Top News

  • 🎂 Bitcoin Whitepaper was published on this day 15 years ago

  • 🥴 SBF claims to remember nothing during cross-examination

  • 🙌 Nouns community launches NOGS coin to incentivize participation

⌐◪-◪ → Today is a very special day - Bitcoin’s Quinceañera + el Día de los Muertos. If you haven’t read the BTC whitepaper yet, stop what you’re doing and read it now. Fun fact: There’s a hidden copy of the whitepaper on your Mac. To find it, open Terminal and copy/paste → open /System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf 

⌐◪-◪ → SBF got “murdered” by the prosecution yesterday during his cross-examination. He apparently remembers nothing according to Tiffany Fong’s 10-min video recap. His go to responses was “I don’t remember” or some variation of it, despite mounting evidence from the prosecution. Molly White describes his replies as pretty evasive; he probably shredded all credbility with the jury. RIP SBF.

⌐◪-◪ → Nouns, Nouns, Nouns. As a holder (who didn’t fork) I’m always delighted to include Nouns in Specs. The new NOGS token is another excample of the Nouns ecosystem working to solve problems that plague all DAOs - with this solution focused on addressing the infamous free-rider problem. What surprised me however, is that NOGS will be issued on Base. Nothing against Base persay, just wouldn’t have been my first pick.
