Dude! Funny as hell but my young daughter was watching. A little NSFW warning would have been nice. Now I have to give her the "money" talk!!
Discount Gilbert Gottfried is OK. Thanks  He would have been just as funny without all the screaming. At least he didn't tell The Aristocrats. Yeah... I never understood why anyone would even refer to that as a joke but then someone decided to make a feature length movie out of various comedians telling it. That didn't make it funny either. |

Well, I think it's high time someone looked up what the Simpsons had to say about Bitcoin. That is probably the best indication of where we're headed.  |

Don't mess up the match, I have to shut you up. no tweets in the stadium This is a real "fuck with your head" image to suggest that the scam facilitator and smoke and mirrors piece of shit of ethereum has anything close to equality with bitcoin... what a fucking bunch of nonsense.  I can't see Bitcoin being caught dead with a fat gold chain either... unless it was fake Bitcoin BSV I suppose but then BSV could never afford such extravagance. |

(AP) — Swashbuckling billionaire Richard Branson hurtled into space aboard his own winged rocket ship Sunday, bringing astro-tourism a step closer to reality and beating out his exceedingly richer rival Jeff Bezos.
The nearly 71-year-old Branson and five crewmates from his Virgin Galactic space-tourism company reached an altitude of 53.5 miles (86 kilometers) over the New Mexico desert — enough to experience three to four minutes of weightlessness and witness the curvature of the Earth — and then glided back home to a runway landing.
“The whole thing, it was just magical,” a jubilant Branson said on his return aboard the gleaming white space plane, named Unity... Not to nitpick. But the Karman Line, the line that conventionally limits the space, is at 100 km. So, this is bullshit marketing. Close, but no cigar! I learned something new today. |

Sellbot crashed.
 Been watching him a bit the last week or so. Not sure how he got in my feed but he's building a tunnel from his house to his shed which is something I always wanted as a kid. His hoverbike look a little dangerous. Maybe tunneling is best. |

The bizarre statements follow a running gag that the 71-year-old twin brothers control the crypto markets...and the world.

In brief
- Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff claim they knew about Satoshi Nakamoto through a Japanese scientist and influenced Bitcoin’s development.
- The bold claims come years after being subject to a long-running gag in crypto that portray them as omnipotent market forces.
- French TV personalities and former theoretical physicists Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff claim they knew of Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto and were involved with the creation of the cryptocurrency.
“Igor and I, as mathematicians, were able to participate in the elaboration of some of the source code, especially the ‘predictive code’,” said Grichka Bogdanoff on French TV show Non Stop People on July 1, who expanded on his claims on L'Heure des Pros on July 7.
In the early 90s, the two brothers said they worked with François Mizzi, the inventor of the touchscreen, whose lab included a Japanese scientist, Soďtchiro Shimoda, who was “someone close to the mythical person or a group of people” called Nakamoto. The Bogdanoff twins said they would often discuss ideas about a digital currency with Shimoda, though they didn’t specify any details.
What if Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly returned?
His return is imperceptible, at first a faint rumour in some dark reach of the web. A lone cybersecurity researcher uncovers curious activity on a long-dormant Bitcoin wallet, unused since 201...
The Bogdanoff twins also claimed that Nakamoto gave them two “ancient Bitcoins” in “physical form” when Bitcoin was created in 2008.
Hellmouth Banner, editor-in-chief of French crypto media outlet Journal du Coin, told Decrypt that these claims should be taken with a pinch of salt since, “in terms of credibility, [the twins] are equivalent to a scientific version of the Kardashian family.”
Who are Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff?
Physicists by training, the Bogdanoff twins rose to prominence in France as hosts of science education show XTemps during the 80s. These days, they're treated as socialites rather than scientists.
“Their atypical look and their often offbeat and original statements make them good recruits to attract audiences,” Banner said. They have been the subject of many controversies over the years, including disputes about the veracity of their academic credentials and a recent court case alleging that they scammed a bipolar millionaire.
Despite the bold claims about their involvement with Bitcoin, the twins’ passing mention of their investment in Ethereum has attracted even more attention.
There is, after all, a long-standing meme that the twins are able to control the market.
The rise of a conspiracy-meme
The brothers became a running gag in crypto following a series of parody videos in 2018 by the YouTube channel Bizonacci, which portrayed the Bogdanoffs as omnipotent market actors who conspire against an average crypto trader.
“Get Vitalik on the line,” one Bogdanoff orders in the video. “Pump Ethereum for two hours and then wake him up,” he tells an obeying Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder. Once the trader FOMOs into Ethereum, Bogdanoff orders the market to crash, and it crashes.
The popularity of the Bogdanoff meme follows an online trend that began in 2015 when a Reddit user posted a photo of the twins in the subreddit r/wtf, with the title “How do they think is attractive?!” in reference to what looks like botched plastic surgery.
In 2017, an anonymous 4chan user posted a made-up list of conspiracy theories about the Bogdanoff brothers, such as direct contact with aliens, the ability to control the French prime minister and “evidence which suggests that the Rothschilds are operating under their supervision.”
The conspiracy meme was best captured by a photo of Grichka Bogdanoff speaking on the phone. And that photo, said the Bogdanoff twins on July 1, will become an NFT soon.
"It is probably Nakamoto who made [the photo] circulate,” Igor Bogdanoff nonchalantly suggested. That photo was “in all blockchains between 2010-2012,” and it’s been downloaded more than 1.3 billion times, he claimed.
“Anyone with two hours of crypto culture can see that it's a bunch of improvised nonsense,” said Banner. But the Bogdanoffs have access to the entire Parisian intelligentsia, he added, so if they were to launch a crypto project, it could well be a success.
During the interviews, the Bogdanoff twins also announced they would launch a cryptocurrency called Exo-Coin. They didn’t share details, but if the conspiracy theories are anything to go by, the mighty Bogdanoffs will force their way to victory.

I guess we're going to have to go back to first principles. https://www.amusingplanet.com/2021/03/conrad-haas-16th-century-rocket-pioneer.htmlexcerpt: " In 1961, a professor at the University of Bucharest, made a surprising discovery in the archives of the city of Sibiu, in Romania. It was a manuscript around 450 pages long filled with drawings and technical data on artillery, ballistics and detailed descriptions of multistage rockets. What’s fascinating about the discovery was that the documents were created in the mid-16th century—four hundred years before the first practical multi-stage rocket took flight from the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico shortly after the end of World War 2. The creator of the document was a remarkable Austrian military engineer named Conrad Haas." |

...and it just keeps getting better! Relief for hodlers! https://scitechdaily.com/psychedelic-drug-psilocybin-magic-mushrooms-spurs-growth-of-neural-connections-lost-in-depression/'In a new study, Yale researchers show that a single dose of psilocybin given to mice prompted an immediate and long-lasting increase in connections between neurons. The findings are published today (July 5, 2021) in the journal Neuron.
“We not only saw a 10% increase in the number of neuronal connections, but also they were on average about 10% larger, so the connections were stronger as well,” said Yale’s Alex Kwan, associate professor of psychiatry and of neuroscience and senior author of the paper.
Previous laboratory experiments had shown promise that psilocybin, as well as the anesthetic ketamine, can decrease depression. The new Yale research found that these compounds increase the density of dendritic spines, small protrusions found on nerve cells which aid in the transmission of information between neurons. Chronic stress and depression are known to reduce the number of these neuronal connections.'These 2 stories are actually very well interconnected. Studies have shown that in about 80% of cases studied, psilocybin administered in a heavy dosage (I think it was 2.5 micrograms per 10lbs body weight, but I'd have to look it up) Anyway 8 out of 10 cases were completely cured of all alcohol & nicotine addiction. It was left as an open question as to whether other drug addictions would show similar results because they were careful to screen out any drug addicts to avoid possibly contaminating the other aspects of the studies findings. Those subjects who had positive results were also found to be 1 magnitude higher in trait openness even 18 months later, and all considered the experience to have been the most sacred experience of their lifetimes. However only 20% expressed any desire to ever repeat the experience. (This was part of a discussion on a podcast with Jordan Peterson) Damn! You had me right up until Jordan Peterson. Well I couldn't remember the name of the neuroscintist he was discussing these studies with (it wasn't Dr. Peterson's research they were discussing) but thought it might be easier to find the conversation if I mentioned that it was in one of his podcasts. I'll have to search the net for it. I just can't watch that guy for more than a couple of seconds. |

This is HTVI, Happy TV International bringing you happy news from around the world 24 hours a day. https://www.sciencealert.com/bioengineered-human-livers-grown-from-skin-cells-successfully-transplanted-into-rats Tiny Human Livers Grown in The Lab Have Been Successfully Transplanted Into Rats
PETER DOCKRILL3 JUNE 2020
"Scientists have successfully transplanted functional miniature livers into rats, after growing the bioengineered organs in the lab from reprogrammed human skin cells.
The experiment, which gave the animals working liver organs, could lay the groundwork for future treatments to address terminal liver failure – a disease that claims the lives of over 40,000 people in the US every year.
While there's still a lot of work to be done before the technique can directly aid human patients, the researchers say their proof of concept may help underpin a future alternative to liver transplants, which are often incredibly expensive procedures to perform, in addition to being strictly limited by donor supply..." I'll drink to that!! EDIT: Holy shit! I just realized it said "tiny HUMAN livers...transplanted into rats" WTF are they really working on?  |
