Let's see. Absolutely nothing is happening. Okay, well, if anybody is watching, welcome to the Giving Blocks Crypto. Crypto trivia quiz, the largest cryptocurrency trivia quiz in history. Also the first probably. Don't let that, you know, make it. Don't let that belittle the experience. This is going to be a ton of fun. We got a whole bunch of crypto OGs who are all possibly on your screen and possibly not because we may or may not be live. Anyone? Anyone? I'll tell you what, if anyone's watching this and is in the chat, give me a thumbs up. Tell me something's happening.
Yeah, looks like we're on the Internet, John.
The Internet. I've heard of it. It's a new thing, right? So that's exciting. But everybody, welcome to the crypto trivia game with Cointelegraph, the Giving Block. Gemini and Ledger supporting this, and all for a good cause. The whole point of tonight is to have fun, but I do want to make it really, really clear. The important thing here is that there is a lot of wonderful charities that stand to benefit from your donations. So please, when you have the opportunity and you see something coming up on your screen that gives you an opportunity to click through and donate to charity, please do squirrel away some of those fantastic gains that you've experienced over the last couple of weeks. Be generous with your donations. All of them go to a good cause. So we'll be mentioning that later on. In the meantime, I think I'll just let everybody here just say hi. You'll recognize many of the faces here. Some of them are hidden behind mute buttons and so on. Pat from the giving block, Michael from the Giving block. Christina is from Cointelegraph. That little thing that says video Cointelegraph, that's Jackson. He's going to be running the show tonight. But everybody else, why don't we start with you? Alex, say hi. Hi, everyone.
I'm joining you from New York. Still snowy outside, but otherwise warm and cozy.
Nice to see you, Brianna.
Hi. Yeah, I'm Brianna, also known as Brief at dance. I do all the music videos on Twitter and on YouTube.
David, you need no introduction, of course, so we'll skip you. Hey, David. Go ahead.
Hey, guys. David Goksheen here from G Media. Happy to be here and doing something really cool. Obviously, charity is a big thing with me. So happy to be here. Thank you for the. For the invite.
Pete Rizzo. If you're an OG in crypto, you're going to know him.
Yo, what's going on? Do I introduce myself?
Yeah, unless you want me to do it for you and I don't think you'll like it.
Yeah, that sounds good. Yeah. Editor at Kraken. People may remember me from Coindesk. Was edited there for a very long time nowadays at Bitcoin magazine. And co founder of the association for Cryptocurrency Journalists and Researchers with John here. So, yeah, what's going on?
Thanks, Pete. And then we got Jan Lieberman.
Hey, everyone.
Nice to meet you. Yeah, my name is Jan. Co founder of Delphi Digital. And yeah, I really appreciate the invite.
Excited to get started. Crypto finally. Or Rachel.
Yeah. Hey, guys, it's your girl. Crypto finally. Reigning from the Internet and more than happy to join you guys. Thanks for having me.
Josh Frank of the tie.
Hey, guys. Josh from the tie.
As John said, that was awesome. I think best introduction so far goes to Josh. Jason, how's it going?
Hey, how's it going? It's Jason here. COO at OkCoin.
I've been here for about five years.
Thanks for having me. This should be fun.
Awesome. Well, everyone, thanks very much. And more importantly, thanks, everybody. Who's going to be playing tonight? I think you'll have a lot of fun. And we're going to get started very, very quickly now. Anything holding us up here, Pat? Are we good?
Let me just pause for one second. Everybody in the influencer zoom right now. Do y' all have the link to play trivia? Is everyone ready to get started?
It says here this trivia round has not started yet. I'm like, on pause. Is that a. It hasn't started yet.
Yeah, that's right. So we'll clean it up and make sure everyone has it. Josh, do you have it? Does everybody have the link?
I do have it. I do have it. I got a great.
Is there a way to change the nickname or.
That's.
It is what it is.
What is your nickname, Jason?
Tree Dog 3.
Why would you want to change that?
That's a good point.
That one's actually one of the better ones, believe it or not.
Can I change your mind?
Unfortunately, we cannot change them. There's two settings in the game. One is let everyone who's playing right now put in anything they want. And then there's no mediation, which would just be chaos, as you can imagine would be live streaming, whatever people write.
Yeah, yeah.
Refresh your screen.
Don't worry, guys. I'm Cookie Girl.
Cookie Girl is good.
Thank you. Appreciate that one.
It works. All right, so if you're playing at home. Hopefully by now you have your link up and you're ready to go.
I'm Loopy Thrower 3, by the way. Loopy Thrower, Sunrise Swimmer.
Flower Girl 10.
If everybody's got it, John, I think we can kick it off.
Awesome. Okay, let's kick off, guys. You're gonna see a question as soon as you see the question. Answer as quickly as you can, because you're going to get points for answering quickly as well as answering correctly. So, Jackson, why don't we roll it? And now I can get to fill in with pointless discussion for eight seconds.
Tell us about that yak on your T shirt.
It's not a yak. That's a Highland cow. Or a bull, if you will.
Moose.
That's moose.
That's moose. All right. Who invented bitcoin?
Hey, Satoshi.
Oh, yeah.
You're not supposed to say it out loud.
Oh, shit.
Like, stop. Some people didn't know that Gok. Some people don't know.
What we have here is a classic.
Case of being unprepared. Please don't blurt out the answers unless you're blurting out the wrong one. To throw people off the scent, the next thing that happens is we get to see what the audience said. So what did the audience say? Monsters Inc. 25 people said Satoshi Nakamoto. Were they right? Jackson? 100% of you got Satoshi Nakamoto, Right? Which means that none of you have to go and throw yourself off a balcony. Happy to seek. Yeah. All right. And then we get to look at the leaderboard. Somebody got there very, very quickly. Who's hippy? Anyone on this? No. All right, well, good. Tree dog. We know someone's tree dog, right? Who was tree dog? That was you, Jason.
I'm right here.
All right. There you go.
I'm the Ladybugs.
I'm already in 17th place because you suck, Josh.
Fantastic. Well, we'll move this along pretty quickly for the first few questions. Jackson, what's question two? How should private keys be stored?
What if there's no wrong answer?
IPhone contact.
In my refrigerator.
I really like the Bob Marley picture. I think that's exactly where I would store my private key. Let's see what the audience says about this. Everyone thinks they should be stored securely and offline. Are they correct? My word. This is just a challenge. So well done, everybody. That's wonderful news. Good for you. Let's move on to the leaderboard. Who's sunrise? What was it? Sunrise swimmer. That's you. I'm so glad you're on mute right now.
Sunrise swimmer. I'm number one.
Thank God.
I want to measuring how fast you're going. Right. That's the thing here.
Yeah. Click on the buzzer.
That's to keep the sheets out.
Pete, what's your. What's your handle?
I am a ladybug sailor 10. Sorry. Just in case there's another.
That's really cute.
It is. It suits you. I'm enjoying it. All right, let's roll. Question three. They're going to be five rounds, guys. Who has the most bitcoin? Is it this Ethereum dude? Or this Ethereum dude? Or this person? Or Satoshi Nakamoto? See, I don't want to get sued, so I don't want to say this. Asshole.
Can't believe we have over 10 people in crypto in this meeting and none of us have been sued by Craig yet.
We should change that.
We're doing a pretty good job.
Yeah.
Is Craig Wright the actual answer to this question? And also, why?
Well, it says who is believed to own the most bitcoin, so I guess it's somewhat subjective, but says no. All right, let's roll the. What did the audience say? Someone thinks Vitalik owns more than.
Really? Really?
That's a bold, bold call.
Your cats are even mad about this.
Let's see what the correct answer is. It is Satoshi Nakamoto. So I'm sorry if you're. Whoever answered Vitalik Buterin. That's not correct on this occasion or any occasion. So let's look at the leaderboard. Planet Someone. That's insane.
John, who can be Planet Racer in your team if not me?
It's not you. Okay, so it's. Nobody here is Planet Racer. So it's somebody who's playing the game at home. Terrific. Awesome.
Somebody's a fast reader.
They're smarter than all of us.
I wonder if they're even reading all the answers.
That's the answer exactly. So I'm going with.
All right, what's question four? Which is the oldest? Can someone do the D? Does anyone know that one?
Look at my background. John.
There it is. Well, come on. Let's hear it.
Oh, my God. Click the wrong thing. Thank God. Yeah, of course I got it.
I'm sorry.
Josh, come on.
I can't just do the bitconnect. I can only do the full song.
Okay, well, maybe later.
I'm on coffee now. If I switch to alcohol, maybe I'll. Maybe I'll.
Greg, write. Start bitconnect.
That could be correct. So just a Note here, anybody who gives 100 bucks to the giving blocks charities during this broadcast or at the end of the broadcast when you'll get a chance to do that ledger has decided to reward those folks with a nano square. If you donate 100 bucks in crypto at the end of the show, you'll get a free nano S from ledger. So thanks to Pascal and his team for being so generous there. If you need a ledger, that would be the way to do it.
All right, what is the link to go to?
We'll get to that. We'll get to that. It'll be between rounds and stuff. This is fast forwarding and professional.
As you can see, it's the giving block calm. Also that, Josh, you know that.
The giving block calm. Okay, so bitcoin. Most people said Bitcoin. 81%. What was the correct answer? It was bitcoin. Wonderful played. And that changes the leaderboard puts Rachel back at the top. She's still on mute, squealing away. I can't tell if she's giving me the thumbs up or her middle finger. It's one of the two.
I'm number one.
Oh, that was what it was. I'm number one.
She says, I think the dog is.
The one pressing the keyboard, so that's not fair.
Wait, there's also a spring swimmer.
I'm sorry that I'm beating you, Mashinsky.
Oh. Oh, my God. This is getting testy.
All right, let's run through another couple of questions. What is the average bitcoin block time. On a good day?
I'll pass on that.
You can't pass.
I didn't. I just did any mini miny movie.
Most people, 73% say 10 minutes. The correct answer is 10 minutes. Wisdom of the crowd wins again. And the leaderboard changes once again.
Ooh, moving up.
There's some people. People have got all of the questions right so far. Right.
How does that bring me to number 13?
Because you're not fast enough. You got a clip.
I've been number one for the last three quests, and we're not. I'm gonna argue about that.
I'm gonna tell you what's messing everybod. I'm looking at the screen, then the question goes on. Then I'm running back to the question. So you got to stay on the question. That's it.
That's focus. You got to focus.
You know, Wait, John, real quick. Also, just reminding everybody who's watching it what they win when they win the tournament. We had a little bitcoin trophy Engraved. We're gonna get one of these made for every trivia tournament. So just know what's on the line.
If you just. You gotta keep it up there, then people think it's three feet tall.
Like, stand further away from it.
Way more glorious that it's. That s. It's way better than a giant trophy.
I think so, too. Yeah. Set them up on a shelf. They're subtle.
There's nothing better than the Stanley Cup. I don't know who just said that. The Stanley cup is everything.
I'm sorry. Are you Canadian?
No, I'm just a huge hockey fan.
We gotta rip through. John, a couple questions here, too, because I feel like.
All right, all right, Question. Quick. Jackson, stop wasting my time. Which system best describes bitcoin?
Come on.
Is it proof of this?
Is this is unfair? Pressing it? Yeah. Proof of bank. That has to be it.
Gotta have your thumb close to the screen. I think that's the.
That's how you're winning. I see you. I see what you're doing. That's what you're doing.
The thumb, the screen, and he's got to be close together.
I'm watching him. I'm watching him.
I got too amped up for this game.
What is it?
This guy over here. Correct answer. And who is spring swimmer? That's. That's one of the folks playing at home. Well done. Someone's quick. All right, let's see. Current bitcoin block reward.
All right.
I try to do it first.
Bear in mind that we did go through a halving in May.
Yeah, there's one. There's one guy on Twitter who was really worried about that today.
Yeah, there was that guy who kept saying that that means that you're gonna. Your. Your money is gonna be cut in half in 20, 24 or something. Good luck to that guy. Yeah, Totally nigid exactly how having works. Was it Nate Popper who was saying that? All right, the current bitcoin block reward is 6.25 bitcoin per block. 70% of you know that. Fantastic.
Hold on. All right.
Congratulations to the current leader. You've got 43 to go. All right, well, I guess we should.
Have quietly about to take over first place. Flower angel.
Is that your flower Angel?
That's me. This guy is fast.
That's you.
I'm flower angel.
Yeah. Because he's actually focused on winning the game.
So somebody. There's so much cheating going on right now.
Good. Wouldn't be good trivia without it. All right, all right, let's go. Let's Go. What do we got next? Blockchain island. Which island nation once referred to itself as Blockchain Island?
I definitely got this one, man.
Come on. I pressed that, and it took, like, six seconds to go ahead and go through. That's messed up. My Internet connection is fast. First of all, are you saying it's.
The latency that's penalizing you?
You know what?
I think you're using the Great wall of China.
No, no, no. You're using your phone. Flower lady.
Flower, ladybug.
Ladybug.
You'll see me coming up the ranks.
Okay, Somebody out there thinks that New Zealand is blockchain Island. That, unfortunately, I do not believe is the case, but let's just check in.
It probably is, Mike. Yeah.
Correct answer is Malta. My wife is from Malta. Okay. Of course, I don't think it's from New Zealand.
There you go.
Okay, question nine coming up. What anonymous donor gave away 5,057 Bitcoin to charity between 2017 and 2018?
How much is that now?
20 bucks.
That's a good question.
5,000 times 23. Oh, my God. What's that? 10 point something? 10.6 million or something.
I'm falling down the leaderboard here. I may drop to last.
John.
Most of you think it's the pineapple stuff. Is it the pineapple fun?
I said kiwi.
I said.
That'S enough of these New Zealand questions. Thank you very much. I don't know how that happened. Tree dog.
That is Nate.
I see Pete right behind me.
Right there, dude. Right there.
It's horrible. They're using the mobile phones. It's not fair. It's not fair.
That would be $116 million also.
Is that right? 116.
That's how much that guy donated.
Oh. So I was an entire order of magnitude off. Right. Okay, question 10, and then I think we take a break, like a few seconds. Right. Which is untrue about bitcoin. Hmm.
Also, for everyone who's in the zoom or is just, like, watching along and playing, the questions get harder, obviously, as the game goes on and the championship round is the most difficult.
All right.
I think. I think that's. I knew people would.
A lot of you messed up on this one.
I think we're gonna get some argument over this one. We need to. Need to judge his.
Okay, I saw Unregulated. I didn't even read cnd, so I clicked unregulated.
Yeah.
Oh, whoa.
Quick question. I. I contest this one, Alex. No, there's no contesting. You guys are Cheating with your phone. Oh, hell no.
Take out your phone. Very broad scope, David.
I feel that you need a phone. Yeah.
Yes. I will be switching over to the iPhone.
All right, so what is the correct answer according to. Oh, gosh, unregulated?
What? What?
That's not true.
All right, I'll take it.
I will take the answer.
Yeah, I'll take that.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
21 billion is actually correct. It's just not the number of bitcoins. It's just bitcoin divisible by.
That's just like bitcoin supply divided by a thousand. It's not even sats, but it's not like sats or anything.
It's some in between.
It could be bits or. What is the. What is it? A thousand? Oh, God, I can't remember.
That's a trick question.
Yeah, I think that you're giving it meaning now.
All right, now, look at this, guys. One of the screen. One of the people on this screen has been kind enough to sponsor this event. Alex. Mashinsky and Celsius, thank you very much for sponsoring. And if you click through on that code, you get $20. Free Bitcoin. They say free. I mean, you probably have to mortgage your grandmother if it's Mashinsky, but free. Ish. Right, so that's awesome. Where's the kids? Alex? You were showing off the kids earlier. The man has to eat, so, you know, he's got a lot of mouths to feed.
They got their games to play, so they have no interest in dad or bitcoin.
So they will. They will one day. Okay, right, so at the end of the first round, who's. Who's Ladybug? What's its name? That's.
Ladybug is cheating.
Well, nice 60 point lead going in the second round.
Who's Ladybug? Hands up. Who's it? Ah, Rizzo.
Rizzo. Got the whole staff working with him.
Yeah, got the whole cracking team.
All right, now, Pat, do we go straight to round two from here?
Right to round two.
Rip it straight to round two. Okay, excellent. Round two gets a little bit harder.
And it's some background music here, like.
Yeah, we really do. Yeah, I tried that earlier, but it was just way loud.
It was tenant.
All right. When was Ethereum launched?
Boom. Come on. Okay. Oh, no.
Is the.
I'm assuming there's a specific definition of launched.
Yeah. Yeah. You may as well.
Jesus Christ. That's the right answer right there. Jeez.
So we got 48% saying July 30, 2015 is that the correct answer? Believe you'll find it is. Wonderful. Well done. Who got that one wrong?
Every Ethereum person here.
No, January 25th was the Miami Blockchain Conference where they did the white paper, and July 30 is when it was launched. On the actual thing, I got it.
Confused with the date of the white paper, actually. So that was my bad. I got my facts there wrong.
Don't launch until there's code. You don't launch live code.
David. David was just angry because the phone wasn't working or something. All right, that's.
Everybody's on their phone. It's okay. I didn't know. I didn't know that you can use your phone to go ahead and click to get faster. You know, more points still go there.
Right now, it's still.
It's still hard on the phone. Like, sometimes the screen resizes, you know, you gotta.
Pete, stop. Pete, stop. He's just trying to keep everybody off the phone so he can win, but, like, a landslide.
All right, what's question 12? Who originally proposed Ethereum.
Proposed. Just like, hey, Ethereum guys.
Hey, we should do this Ethereum thing. What will it be? I don't know. Some kind of car.
Not in their business.
A variety of tomato. Lots of people think it's vitalic. Buterin. The answer actually is metallic. Buterin. Hold on. All right, let's move on to the next question. Next question. We got to rip through a couple.
Look at this. 1,000. Wow.
How many global cryptocurrency users are there? Well, you could start counting the top left.
How you define users?
Exactly.
How they define users. None of us know the answer, though.
No, no, we know them by name.
Oh, oh. Is it because. Is it because you and Mnuchin got everybody.
That is wild. Who the fuck put a billion who actually thinks that that many people are using it? I mean, that's ambitious, but, I mean.
I have literally no idea how you would count those.
You could just onboard every single PayPal account. That's what, 364 million.
This is.
Yeah, they probably counted the number of wallets, but I have, I don't know, 20 wallets, so that doesn't mean anything.
You know, you have 20 wallets. Can you give us the addresses?
There should have been one answer that was just like, Steve. A guy named Steve.
Did you have 20 Uniswap wallets? Did you get 20 Airdrops?
101.
I didn't see which one was right.
101. But only 20% of the audience actually did not win that time. The wisdom of the crowd was wrong. Or at least, you know, wrong. Whoever came up with these questions.
Yeah, I'd like to talk to them. Thanks.
Yeah, well, get on the phone. Approximate bitcoin market cap as of today.
Ask Elon.
Giving it away.
I'm just doing. I'm doing 420. If you say it's not that. I mean, like, right now, this is wrong. Like, that would be complete BS.
What? 420. 420. Say the crowd.
It's obviously closest, right?
That's what I'm talking about. Let's go, guys. Let's go. What is it actually?
What is it actually right now?
427.
It's 420. 2,650.
Is it?
Apparently.
Apparently the supply of 21 billion is right, though, so you got to multiply.
That by a lot. All right, let's move on. What's up next? What is the wait. Oh, what's the approximate crypto? Market cap. The whole. Boom.
Got this one. What's up? Let's go. Going on the streak here. I'm coming after you, lady.
Yeah.
420 Bitcoin. Wow. Somewhere between 650 and 850.
I wish. I wish it was 850 right now.
It's too much winning. I can't take anymore. Yeah, I love it. All right. $650 billion. The correct answer or approximately? That guy on the left, I'm not sure he got anything right.
Who's the guy on the left, though? We don't know what your left is.
Okay. The guy on the right didn't get anything right. All right, let's move on to the next question. What have we got? Which coin is not in the top 10 by market cap? This is not. Which coin does not deserve to be in the top 10 by market cap? That's a different. Actually, that's where you got, like, how many answers to that question or got this one.
This is like. Come on.
So.
So. Okay, Jackson.
What's he getting?
What's he going. Okay, Tron. Is that not in the top 10? Yeah, go on, Jackson. Go on, jump. Yeah. Can't get the help these days.
This is trolling. This is trolling here. I love that.
Justin Sun's pet project is not in the top 10 by market cap. Does anyone have any theories on why that might be?
John, can we get that quoted out by the cointelegraph Twitter account?
Only if I sit here and type and I'm drinking. So that's. That's kind of hard for me, Chris, you can do it, right?
It's too close to a troll. You know, Tron, troll, Same thing.
Oh, my God. Shots fired.
Can I pause for a second? I just want to ask the influencers that are sitting here in the chat, is anyone getting absolutely demolished that wants to admit it? Anybody not. Not doing as well as they hoped? I'm in second place right in the corner.
I'm going to say that, you know, I started off and I was supposed to click something, but I shouted it out. So I'm starting off from, you know, all the way in the back when.
All the answers were Satoshi Nakamoto. And I'm gonna make my comeback. You wait and see. I'm only satisfied if I'm in the top three slots. So you will not be hearing from me until that time.
I just want it to be known that I'm beating Jan by 14 points.
I just feel. I feel that Ladybug Sailor is cheating, and the judges should look into it.
All right.
So essentially, David, you're kind of playing the role of the Republican Party today. And inquiry is left and right reasonable.
I will be calling Rudy, and hopefully he's not, you know, obviously Covid, but still, hopefully he'll be able to submit some papers to Cointelegraph.
Nice. Well, I mean, I'm sure we'd see the. Under all the lights here. We'd. All right, what have we got? Next question up. Jackson. What is bito sin Pizza day. What is bitosin pizza day?
These are long. These are long answers.
There's a lot of words. Yeah. So it's kind of like you gotta read, Right. So you're losing time because you're reading, right.
You can't sacrifice. You can't read.
And what if you don't know it? And what if you don't know how to read? And what if you're getting. Never mind.
Listen, it's very ableist, the whole game.
Mine's pretty tough.
It's tough. I got stuck on it. Yeah.
I didn't get to answer, really. It was. All happened so fast.
Just take a second here to recognize Gemini. One of the sponsors of tonight's event is Gemini. And you take a look at the sponsor message on the screen there. They donated $20,000 to match crypto donations this December. So I think we can all do a quick. Winklevi. Winklevy. Thank you. Appreciate it. Anyone else? Hands up for the Winklevie. Thank you.
Can I do the dolls? Can I? Yeah, I was doing the. I did Rockefeller. Sorry.
There's gotta be some kind of singers. They must have a signal. You would think they got their own, like, game signal or something.
Yeah, it's this.
Yeah. There we go. I like it. All right, well, thank you, guys. Thank you, Gemini, for sponsoring. What is Bitho sin pizza day? 77% said it's something I can't read because I've got the Gogstein syndrome. And here we go.
Here we go.
Awesome. All right, let's get going. Come on, Jackson. What's going on? Who's Rizzo? Are you still out in front of.
Go out in front. You guys are trying to take me out of my game here.
Oh, don't worry. I'm coming. I'm coming. Don't worry. You and the whole cracking staff, you can go ahead and cheat, but I'm coming.
All right, let's go. What's next? Who's the first major musician to accept bitcoin payments in 2014?
Easy, easy, easy.
Motherfucking E. Sorry is not on this.
That's it. Now you can curse because you just demonetize yourself.
I'm sorry. I'm. You know, I like. I just. I used to like NWA and I, you know, used to at least, you.
Know, that kind of nwa. There's no NWA out there.
Are you. I just want to know. I want to see the results of this, and if somebody picked the beach voice, I really want to know who that person is.
Okay? So we're going to have to get a show of hands.
Okay? So.
All right, so Sunshine Band.
Casey in the sunshine.
We got. Sorry.
50 cent practices.
Fitty, right? That's correct. Fitty.
Fitty. Fitty.
Being 50 was also the one ordering the pizza, so it's the same guy.
All right. Were they right? Is everyone correct?
Bri, you're on mute, too. Just saying. I thought you're saying something there, in case you don't notice.
Gfam, we're making a comeback here. We're making a comeback.
All right, so let's check out the leaderboard. Oh. Oh, Just for a second. I thought Riz had been knocked off there.
Me, too. I got antsy there for a second.
Who's a hippie cowboy?
Someone playing home.
Oh, awesome. I hope, I hope, I hope. Rizzo got low battery.
Plug it in right now.
I think that's why you went to Kraken, isn't it? Sorry.
Hey, we're still in round two.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm wasting everybody's time. Go on. Let's go, Jackson. What is a dead bitcoin oh, dear. That's quite awful, isn't it? Who sponsored this?
I didn't know that there was.
I like this one. This is when the market goes down and you. And you went ahead and longed it.
Who made this? Who made this?
Right.
Yeah.
Who has ever said this? I've never heard this term ever.
Yeah, it's not.
What is up with that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is. This is when you long.
They didn't know what that was.
This is when you long in a bear market.
Like, what are you depicting?
I don't know, Breaking Bad. Oh, no, wait, hold on. Isn't that from Scrubs? That looks like it's from Scrubs.
Yeah, but it's just like someone trying to kill someone else in an elevator.
Yeah. This is like you coming into Crypto Twitter for the first time.
That's security camera.
What did the audience say, Jackson? A bitcoin. That can no longer be something. It's off my screen, but it can't be in the chat and is that correct? It is. Well done.
That's right. Let's go. Let's go. Disconnect this phone, though. We gotta disconnect this guy.
All right, let's. Let's do the next question. Miners are rewarded for successfully mining a.
Yo, Pat. Me and you got long hair. You gotta be rooting for me, man. Everybody else here, nobody got long hair, man. Gotta stick together, bro.
Yeah, I still resonate with it, though. Like, I had very short hair before quarantine.
Yeah, me too.
To cut it off. Like, I see myself, and whenever I see someone with long hair, admittedly, I'm like, I don't like that guy. And then I see myself and I'm.
Like, shit, that's exactly right.
Part of my life.
Yeah.
Not the opposite. Just a block. Not V block. Screw that. A block and A is block. So there we go. There's the answer to the question that you guys think it is, and is it correct? All right, wonderful. And remember, Ledger are giving away 100 nano S's to anybody who donates 100 bucks at the end of this show. So please do stay on. It's a. It's a great way to support charity and, you know, claim stuff for yourself, which is really like, more like buying things and them donating. So you're not really donating at all. So you can't lose. That's less than no lose deal. Right.
Is that you explaining the tax incentive?
Yeah, that's. That's my irs.
Do I not have to pay cap gains if I donate my bitcoin that's exactly right.
So what we say all the time is donating bitcoin is not spending bitcoin, which is a very important distinction. So you pay no cap gains on it in addition to your write off. So, like, if you gave a million dollars from your bank account and bought your bitcoin back, you have to pay the cap gains. Donating bitcoin is not spending bitcoin. Who's watching? Stream not on mute. Somebody fucked that up. Sorry.
Someone's.
Do you want to get us banned?
Demonetization.
Moving on. Jackson, next question, please.
Oh, round. Two rounds not started.
We got three rounds to go. We're going to race through some more of these questions. Let's do like four in a row really quick.
Yeah, we gotta bang them.
007. Exciting. When was the bitcoin Genesis block minted? Another one to Flummox.
Rizzo there got this one in the bag.
Of course he does. Of course you do. Of course you do.
Jason, what are you drinking? I want to. I want to see the bottle. What is that? Is that good stuff?
I want my ledger nano s now. Send it to me. Guys, it's Firestone.
I'm in California, so this is somewhat local.
All right. Anybody else got a decent beer?
I saw someone drinking a seltzer who.
Donated and needed ledger.
That was me.
What you do is you forward your tax receipt to infothegivingblock.com and then we'll send you a ledger.
There you go.
Or I guess now like 50.
When was the bitcoin Genesis block minted? Jackson, what did the crowd say? January 3, 2009. The answer is January 3, 2009. Awesome. Someone. Someone got it right.
Wow. Taking shots. Okay, that's fine. Rice, what is going on? That's fine, right?
We lost a bunch of players after this question. We dropped to 31 from like 40.
So, yeah, I think if they're on mobile, you got to press refresh or something.
Sounds a good bet. One delays on.
Oh, my God. I messed up the greater than, less than sign.
This wasn't.
I'll own it. I'll own it.
It sorts the boys.
Did you write that one, Pat?
That was a Trojan.
On which exchange?
Oh, Jesus Christ, man.
On which exchange?
Ball boy Natty Light sells it.
I didn't know they meant stamp was over 20.
I didn't know.
Did you buy that on the streets?
That's true.
It did. Out of a paper bag.
Can you sell those legally?
Definitely not.
So I think. Yeah, there we go. Everyone says under 20,000. The answer is under 20,019 89247 is the correct answer. See, CoinDesk likes to do this bitcoin index thing, which is a bunch of shite, so you can ignore that.
Wow. Wow.
Industry's first index, by the way. Launched in 2020.
Awesome. All right, Jackson teared up. Happens when you donate crypto to a charity in the United States. Good things, good things.
As of right now. As of right now. As of right now. Tomorrow you like situation will come out.
Don't say that. I'm so terrible at reading all the answers.
This is the first one within all of the above one. So that's a bit. That's a bit tricky.
If you're late to the party. It's very good to donate your crypto to charity for the simple reasons that all of these things are in fact, true. Am I right? Let's see what the.
Am I right, fellas? Now the ladies. Am I right?
All right, what's the correct answer?
Boom. That's what I'm talking about.
There you go. All of the above. Donating crypto to charity is a good thing. And we're hoping you'll stick around and do a little bit of that at the end of the show. Jackson, which ICO raised the most money?
Boom. We all know that.
Which ICO wasted the most money would be an.
Exactly. There you go. That's. That's it right there.
Which ICO didn't waste money, I guess is a better question.
All right, which ICO has raised the most money, has done nothing? What would you get if you had these together? Like, 4 billion. What did Tezos get?
Sometimes just sitting on your bitcoin is the best strategy. And that's all they've done, you know, so you got to give it to them. Right. For sitting on like $5 billion worth of Bitcoin.
So it's working for some people. Yeah, anybody, actually. Everyone was in profit this week. Every single wallet address in the world was in profit this week. So that's pretty exciting.
Not according to that lady on Twitter, what's her name, the so called journalist.
Amy. Amy something.
Over a billion in shorts got liquidated this week. That's why bitcoin is up so much. You know, everybody thinks it's institutions. Institutions don't chase price of bitcoin, but a billion in liquidation does, you know, so that's what we are.
We should, you know, our prayers to them.
Yeah, right.
All the bears, our prayers go out to you.
Let me pause for a second too, just for anyone who's watching the Stream and playing along the game is five rounds. Fifth round is the championship round. Whoever wins gets the trophy, obviously. So just laying that all out. We're gonna take a brief intermission before round five. You need to take a leak or grab a beer, whatever it is. Just giving everyone layout if they feel like this is dragging on indefinitely. So hopefully we can rip through some questions.
All right. Yeah. Okay. Enough of the fun, right? Questions.
Oh, my God.
The answer was EOS. $4 billion. They made a ton of money, and I don't know what they're all doing with it, but I'm sure it's very important. They're launching Voice, a social media platform that nobody's heard of. Okay, next up, which public company, or at least which company has the largest BTC Holdings? Galaxy, Grayscale, Microstrategy Square.
I know where everybody's gonna go with this one.
I think the keyword is public.
Told you. All right, what do people think? Grayscale.
Not a public company, though.
I see. That's the first. I saw this question earlier, Pete. That was the very first thing I said. I'm like, huh? It's not public company. All right, go on.
Gentlemen, let me pause you real quick. I don't know if it was someone who's in the influencer. If you are, you have to take credit for it.
That's right. That's right. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
No, no. It could be a rando. Could be one of y'. All. I'm not gonna call it anyone individually because it was given anonymously, but someone just gave 5.6 bitcoin to one of the nonprofits. So whoever's on here who did that, thank you very much.
Wait, someone gave 5.6 Bitcoin to a nonprofit just now?
Yeah.
Whoever that is, I want to buy you a case of beer. Like, you know, my address is john jon@cointelegraph.com. send me your email, and I will send you beer. That's wonderful. Thank you very much. That's amazing. In fact, everyone golf clap. Thank you very much for your kind donation.
Of donating. You know, so they, like, read that answer. They're like, oh, gosh, I better donate right now.
Calculated their tax incentives. They were like, oh, that's perfect.
Barry Silbert. And he actually is going to take the company public. All right, wonderful. Thank you very much, whoever that was. And we'll move on to the next question, or at least we'll move on to that. How many coins are listed on Coingecko?
My wallet address is 3bt. I mean, if you.
All right, let's find out. What does Board of People think? Pretty even split. Let's find the correct answer. Five to seven thousand. Wow. How does the leaderboard look now?
Oh, that's right. Things are changing.
I think there's over 13,000 different coins and tokens, by the way. So I don't know where they got that number from, but I guess they're not listed. But it's like. It's growing like mushrooms, you know, it's like, everywhere. Everybody's minting a coin now.
Who has their own personal coin on this? On this Zoom? Anyone? Nobody got their personal coin yet.
Like an nft? I mean, or just like.
No, like, minting their own kind of, you know, fan or social token kind of thing? Nobody. All right, well, be a big thing next year. What is a blockchain?
I think Lady Ladybug's phone is glitching on him. What's wrong there?
I don't know. Missed a couple in a row, huh? Forgot about Eos, I guess. That was my big.
Forgot about. Yes.
I think everybody else.
All right. What is a blockchain? That's a great, great question. And can you explain it to your grandmother? A distributed record of something, probably. What's the correct answer? It is that New York.
We're making a comeback.
All right, so we're halfway through. Supposed to be finished in 10 minutes. All right, let's race through some questions, quick as we can. Someone infamously spent 10,000 Bitcoin on what?
I hope you all get it wrong. I need to make it up the charts.
I'm sure someone did spend 10,000 bitcoin on socks.
All right. What. What do we got? Pizza. And the answer is pizza. What was his name again? The. Yeah. And it's apparently a very nice chap.
He should be celebrated.
Absolutely. All right, moving on. How many bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto believed to own?
Oh, let's go, baby. Very seriously. This is very serious. Is that a Corey Price jersey in the back?
Said what?
Hold on, bro.
Door jersey.
Oh, Bordeaux. Okay, there's Corey Price.
Not joining in until you're winning again.
Yeah, she's focused.
I got momentarily distracted. I missed a few questions. I am not in the lead. It's not where I want to be if I have to say it.
Okay. All right, well, you soaking.
What was right. Okay.
Make that comeback. Come on.
A million.
Make that comeback.
That's a lot.
Come back. Where am I? Okay. Come on, now. Come on.
And there's the wonderful trophy before it was inscribed by professional artisans who slaved over a hot welding tool.
The chat and on Twitter is filled with a lot of comments about participation, awards.
What happens in Cointelegraph stays in Cointelegraph. So don't worry about it. We're not going to talk about the results tomorrow.
There's a chat.
There's a chat.
Someone should send me that. I had no idea.
On YouTube. Yeah.
All right. Apparently, we can get banned, by the way, by YouTube for dropping the F bomb, so I don't think that's true.
I think you're allowed to swear, but you can get, like, demonetized.
Oh, well, I think this is nearly.
A big enough event for that.
Kind of important for, you know, a publication like Cointelegraph, I think. No, no.
It's one video. It's not permanent. You would just not make money off this video if it got like a ship.
If we made any money, we would give it to you guys. I do mean that more generally, obviously, as well. You know, Just generally, if our business model worked, you know, that kind of thing. All right, awesome. Fantastic news. Andreas, of course, is the correct answer. Let's move on. Who. Who's up next? What's up next? Round four.
Round four. Come on. We're gonna make the biggest comeback ever. Come on, let's do.
Can someone read the question, please?
Ask questions.
Oh, I didn't see it. I thought I was waiting 15 seconds.
You snooze, you lose.
Wow. Shots.
Burn me. Why not?
I like this. Now we're getting to the rounds with shots being thrown out. That's. This is great.
All right, what's the. The times? And the answer is the Times. All right, so hippy's still in the. And, in fact, you're extending the lead there.
Who's hippy?
That's somebody playing at home. Somebody we don't know. Focused and just better than any of us. Who has the largest following on Crypto Twitter?
Peter Schiff is not possible.
What is up with these graphics?
Peter Schiff's not a member of Crypto Twitter.
Exactly. That's.
That's an opossum.
I feel like he's, like, the heel, you know, like, oh, have you know.
That'S not what opossums look like down in New Zealand. They look cute.
What is going on with this gif?
Peter Schiff disagrees.
I'm kind of mesmerized just by that graphic. It's like it's a woman playing drums.
Whoever made these gets full credit.
Does Pomp. Pomp really has the Largest following on crypto Twitter.
He does. He does.
Justin sun does.
That's true.
And how many.
Wait, how many does Justin have?
Justin sun, followed by Vitalik, does. Pomp comes in, but nearing in that, like, top 10.
Justin sun has, like, over a million Facebook followers, and there's no way there's a million real Facebook accounts that follow him. And coinbase has like 80,000 just for reference.
This is horrific. Right now, we're all aware of Justin's KPIs, right?
What was the right answer?
What was the right answer?
I don't think there was a right answer.
Oh, I'm climbing up.
There it is.
Okay, there it goes. There it goes.
We're back to the possum, finally, right?
The possum's working well. All right, Next up, Jackson, Maybe bitcoin is divisible down to X number of decimal places. It's kind of funny. I'm actually looking at you all right now because you're all looking at your phones and stuff, and you've actually got, like this kind of little concentration look on your face, like you care about getting this one right for some reason.
That's a big trophy that you got there.
It's a very nice. I'll tell you that much. It might not be very long.
You're now one follower closer to overtaking Pomp, so you're welcome.
Oh, my God.
Can we see the trophy again? The huge trophy?
We can. I can stand, like, far behind it and someone else can hold it more in the foreground. You know what I'm talking about?
What does it say on there?
Crypto's biggest brain. Wonderful Tournament. One champion.
Okay, who's gonna win?
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Decimal places. Is that correct? Is it? It is, yeah.
There we go. There we go.
Becoming like, this is real.
This is real for me. I want that trophy.
See, dad? See, Dad? I did it.
Exactly.
All right. This is a game. I can play in a game.
This is real life.
You gotta check the comments on the YouTube, the YouTube stream.
They're brilliant. Can someone share that link in this chat? In our chat?
Please do.
What? What is. Oh, just B, A, C. Oh, they're fascinating. They are good, aren't they? Someone should be checking these and, you know, giving some shout outs to the folks playing here.
Hold on. I want to get on to. Can somebody send the link?
All right, Jackson, the next one.
Sorry. What's the largest BTC hack in history? Okay, some scary stuff there.
Don't sleep on coin basement.
Is it still.
I think that's Craig Wright. You have the. You need answer number five.
Craig Wright.
Mountain Gox. Is that correct? Why, yes, it is. How many bitcoins were stolen in the end?
Supposedly they're supposed to get some stuff back finally. After. Only after 700 years.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
All right. Who was that?
Come on, let's go. Come on. Who put. Who put answer D in there?
I did. I did.
Right.
Is that like tiny Chihuahua humping the dishwasher? What's it doing?
Wow, that's amazing. Chihuahua's humping something.
He's tiny.
It's just a general.
That's so impressive.
That's why we don't have any women in crypto.
Rachel, what is your dog's name?
Ruby.
Ruby. Because I just. I saw Ruby suddenly jump up when this gif came up.
Rachel and Ruby were very sweet. Yeah.
Hi, Ruby. All right.
Not like John. Oh, or she comes.
The answer is. A satoshi hippie now has a hundred point lead.
Come on.
What made Neeraj famous?
Oh, man. This is another all the above one. It's not all of the above.
That's an incorrect answer, right? No, it's not an incorrect. I don't know.
C is the only correct answer to this.
C is the only. Yeah, it has to be C.
Well, let's find out. Everyone thinks all of the above because.
I think everybody doesn't know the answer. That's why.
No, that's right.
No, that's. No, it's right. That's what I'm talking about. Like 10 times all of his other combined tweets.
How many bitcoins will there ever be?
21 billion, according to Quintell.
That has to. That has to go to the judges.
I mean, technically, there has been a.
I was told it was true.
No, no, but no, no, we can't be on hype. No, no, we gotta.
The maximum possible.
Yeah, no, no. Can't be cheating. No more. No more cheating, man.
Some guy on CNBC was trying to convince people that there's nothing in the protocol that prevents us from issuing more bitcoin, you know?
Oh, yeah, yeah. That was the FUD last week, wasn't it?
Yeah, that was unbelievable.
21 billion is enough.
Do we have Ruben Yap jumping in an hour late? Reuben.
Hey, Ruben, can you hear us? Hello, Yes, I met the doctors, so.
I'll be passively watching.
Am I too late crypto to know about the Deepak Chopra ethereal summits. What?
That's like, fairly recent, man.
This guy. This guy's getting in the microphone.
I thought it was by Kobe Bryant at the Tron. The Tron summit.
Oh, my God.
Deepak was only two years ago, right? That was 2018.
Yeah, it was, like, fairly recent.
Yeah, but it just seems so weird. Sorry. I'm into it. I'm not, not into it.
That's like, the best quote of the night. I'm not, not into it.
Yeah, for sure.
I think Deepak was trying to fork it. So that's what.
Boom.
At the bitcoin.
New York City making a comeback.
Nuts in Miami.
No matter what I answer, I get the same ranking.
So how does the IRS treat crypto? The IRS does not care about crypto, I guess. Can this be a wishful thinking kind of. Kind of one?
Yeah. I can't wait until that one is picked A.
Is that like a Happy Gilmore gift, then?
That's funny.
All right. As currency, as art, or they don't care. As property. Somebody got it right. All right. Oh, hold on a second. Hippie dropped one. So who's. Who's Spring. Spring sailor or something?
No, hippie's up there. Number one.
Well, yeah, but they dropped that question, I think, because they. I think they were stuck on 29 last time.
Yeah, that's right.
Getting. Getting closer.
You see, lady bug.
Hero billionaires. Pretty sure we've already had them.
Come on, let's go. I am not getting one wrong, lady. I'm coming after you, man. I'm just trying to keep up.
Head above water here, man.
What place is everyone in right now?
I am in just.
Lucky number 19.
Okay, looks like we all need to.
Go and get another job.
Everyone thinks it's mine.
Jason's a sleeper pick.
Boom.
Really quiet.
I'm just trying to beat Pete Rizzo.
You know, possible.
In fifth. Let's go, let's go. I'm in 13th place. Let's go.
Cookie guru. All right, next up, Jackson. I think Jackson's having some technical difficulties with Jackson. I mean, the other thing we should probably remember is that Jackson is currently, I think, like, you know, 4am or some stupid thing wherever he is. So he's staying up to do this. Shout out to Jackson. Thank you, Jackson.
Thank you, Jackson.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Bitcoin to rig the questions.
He says it's intermission. And the only thing he failed to notice on that little message he just sent me was, you, fat bastard. Which I heard from the multiple question marks and the jaxa.
Jackson, click over to Round five. So the people who aren't watching the stream can see it.
Final round.
Awesome.
So we have a 10 minute intermission.
Are we going to do a 10 minute intermission? Because we're running a bit long. Right, Pat, what do you want to do?
Want to hear more about that cow on. On your shirt?
Moose. The crypto bull. And so we have three cows.
So fortunately, I'm not qualified to move into the next round. This is the best 10 minutes of my life. But it was fun.
Yeah, I'm pulling the thing up.
Hey, Joshua, what are those jerseys behind you?
I have Marty Brodeur, Bernard King, Desmond Howard, and Gleyber Torres.
What sport is that?
Which one? That's hockey, basketball, football, baseball.
Oh, the crappy ones.
Oh, wow. Wow.
John is firing shots at all of us now.
Like, I like. I feel like, not like I'm hiding behind my, like, deep hole picture.
Where's the rugby jersey? Out of curiosity, what is what, sorry? The rugby jersey.
Rugby jersey.
That's pretty cool.
I once met Keanu Reeves on a bus. As soon as he said Bordeaux cup here.
Well, almost as our trophy today. A bit bigger.
That's impressive. That's the trophy that I want. When are we getting those trophies?
Well, if you play rugby.
Rugby. What a sport.
European rugby. No, not the.
I like rugby. You try to take off everybody's heads. Like, that's beautiful.
Very beautiful.
I'm, like, so focused on these answers right now. I don't care. I'm just going after number one. That's all it's about. You guys should have had, like, sideline reporters for this. Like, what's. What's your game plan right now? Well, right now I'm just focused on, you know, going through this question here.
Everybody here's a winner tonight. That's the best thing. Everyone's a winner. So the idea, guys, is that this is the prototype. This is the first effort at doing this. But the idea is to go forward and kind of do this on a monthly basis as a kind of charity fundraiser. And I think it would be a lot of fun if we can kind of come back and do this in a month. Maybe we'll have less technical issues.
You.
Know, Jackson is a technical issue. Just generally.
But yeah, I gotta say, Reich is on the roll. I gotta tell you. Like, everybody's getting it. Like, you are not getting away from him.
No, no. There's a reason they. They asked me to do this. It's because I'm a dick.
I think we should send everyone Natty Light seltzer's. Tall boys next time.
I cannot believe you're drinking Natty Light. Seriously. That is so ghetto right now.
I donated my bitcoin. Now I got to go on, you know, a little bit of, you know, I got to save some money.
Natty Light. Have you got any chew to go with that?
I found this in my fridge.
I ran out of beers. This is all I had. I had this in a Bud Light.
I.
Bud Light, like lemonade, alcohol thing, which sounded worse, so I went for this. No, no, it's worse. I'll show you guys.
All right. Also link in the chat for influencers who want to play in the final round. I popped it in there.
Well, I guess I can go now because I got to do some work for my music videos.
But when is your video dropping?
Tomorrow, 12pm it's literally bud Light lemonade.
So that sounded worse than this.
All right, Br, thanks for playing.
Somebody here donates another bitcoin to charity. I'll shotgun it.
We'll get that out there. Absolutely.
Great. I'll shoot you a follow up for it.
I'll see you in the next whatever, hackathon or whatever marathon, whatever we call it, you know?
Yeah.
Toshi. All right, thanks for having us.
Yeah, thank you.
Bye.
See you, Alex. Bye, Bri.
Hey, Pat, is that a.
Is that a new link or is it a. The same one?
Yeah, that's for the championship round if it dropped you off if the influencers want to play anyway. So we're going to kick it off in just like a minute here if you guys need to go because we're running over. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Jackson's going to start that link in a sec, but if you want to drop, obviously thank you guys for coming running over the time Mark, but we're going to let like the last 10 players play for the trophy at the end here.
Did I make it?
This sounds like I did not.
I did not make it. How many of us are in here? Two, four. Really bad. I like my shit's all over the place.
Real quick, Jackson, can you move to round five and just not start the countdown and let's see who can get in and see how many people have access to the final round.
I'm in.
It says welcome back. Continue answering or create a new player. Am I in?
Or just say round four or round five?
If it's in round five, you're in round five.
Round five. Round five. You can't get rid of me. Can't get rid of me. That's what's happening right now.
Gotta stick it to these Internet anons out here.
Somebody says QR code to donate isn't working on the YouTube, by the way. You probably wanna.
Don't poke the thing in there.
Yeah. So if you do want to donate, just go to thegivingblock.com and you'll be able to click on Donate Bitcoin. And there's over 100 different nonprofits that accept a wide variety of crypto, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. So you accept Tron.
Wow. Tron is getting it tonight.
So it's gonna be a different stream. You guys started a new Periscope. I see. I understand. Right?
Oh, I don't know about the Periscope. I just mean the link.
Yeah, but, like, the Twitter feed ended. Yeah.
Okay.
All right, so let me go ahead and plug this.
So I might exit as it's just a whole. See, I was gonna save face as I tweeted about this, and it would suck if you all came back like, ha, ha, losers are gone and I wasn't there. But now that it's a new Periscope feed, I might be on my way. This has been fun. Thank you for having me.
Yeah. Thanks for coming. We'll do more of these.
All right. Yes. All right, bye.
Have a good weekend.
All right, so are we almost ready for this?
I'd like to retweet this. I can't find it.
The new Twitter one?
Yeah.
I don't know why the Twitter one? Oh, it capped at an hour.
I think none of us understand technology.
Okay. Yeah.
All right.
Most people are watching on YouTube anyway.
It seems like. I feel like the majority of people are watching there, so it should be fun. Yeah. Let's kick it off.
Let's do it. All right, here we go. 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, T minus 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
In which country is bitcoin legal?
Let's go. Let's get this.
Oh, easy Slam dunk.
Super easy question for everyone, of course, in this country, which is three people. So it's not India. The answer is new. Nope, don't believe. So what is the answer?
Oh, my God.
What?
Shouts to one person who got that right.
That's why there's no crypto companies called Everest. We've got an Everex. Right.
All right, let's see who.
All right, what's. What's the next one up? What is a Dust transaction? A transaction with the album Exit Planet Dust by the Chemical Brothers is.
Another.
Funny thing is they were called the Dust Brothers before they were called the Chemical Brothers. Just so as you know, that question was literally there for you, John, after your prodigy comments. Is that right? Awesome. Well, there you go. Is it indeed a transaction with a thing. With a stuff and the thing. It is. That's great. Well done, everyone who got that right. And moving on, we're getting really close to. Still 100 points between hippie and. And Rizzo there on. On 2967. I want to say that in that I want that sports voice. 2967, that kind of, you know, Australian cricket commentary voice that I know Mike will appreciate.
Call Andrew Fenton up. Get him on.
All right. Are you talking about underarm bowling?
Now.
Which of these is not related to a defi project.
Rigged in Yan's favor? He's covered all these.
Are we going. We're going with Yam Lieberman here.
Yam Lieberman.
All right. Orange is the correct answer. We're getting close to a winner here, guys.
Damn, it's tightening up. Ladybug. Sailor.
What is a hard fork?
Well, none of these definitions are correct. To be 100. Honest.
I know, man. Yep.
My wife just really.
This is.
You go with all of the above.
There.
That would have been. Should be.
It should be nodes.
Believable.
Not to be a stickler meeseeks over here, but.
Well, I think. I think that's appropriate. I think if one thing has come from this, it's that whoever wrote the questions needs to be executed.
I would add swiftly to that. Swiftly and without any. With any review. Yeah.
Come on, man.
That's what you get for thinking that none of the answers are correct.
Oh, my God.
I'm coming for Lime Dreamer.
Approximately how many bitcoin was stolen? The Mount Gox hack.
Oh, I got.
Isn't that south park gift? The one that somebody left on an exit scam website?
Maybe.
I think it was.
This is easy.
850,000 bitcoins. Is that the correct answer? It is.
Boom. Let's go. Let's go.
All right, we're getting there.
Damn.
Wow.
Number 10. I'm. Come on. Come on.
Cowboy is gone.
Who is Tree Dog?
That's me. That's me. Who you?
Yeah, that's the Dark Horn.
Oh, my God.
What was the last bitcoin block reward?
How many more questions do we have? Can we call it right now?
Five?
No. Hell, no. What's going on?
When you click an answer, does it take a little while to register? Yeah, it's the okay group put in the cheat codes. They're throttling us.
There's some. There's some BS going. What does this question mean? The last one, like the one. Yeah. No, no, no. This is a trick question.
I was going with the previous one.
Yeah, this is a trick question.
Yeah.
There you go. There you go. There you go. New York City. I'm coming. I'm trying.
Luck of Arthur with me.
Yeah, I seen that. I was laughing. That was funny.
You gave 5 bitcoins each of their website visitors in 2010.
Was definitely George Lopez.
Mind of Mencia.
What do people say?
I'm surprised people still know the answer then.
How old was Vitalik in 2010?
7.
13. Oh, come on.
Just overtaken lime dreamer.
So what is the name of the original bitcoin white paper?
Must get out of bitcoin if crypto. I don't know.
I think I fucked this up. Yeah, I fucked this up. I think.
I think it's C, isn't it?
I put a C just so everybody knows. I put a. I thought it was. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, Yeah. I knew I was.
Oh, no, Josh, not electronic.
Peer to peer. I read the first answer and I just smashed it.
What's the difference between second and third?
Making my comeback here. Number six, Christina.
It had blockchain.
I got that right.
I would have had.
Thanks, Jason.
That was able.
That's a good one. Some bulbula.
Some bulbul.
Oh, I fucked this one up. I just counted wrong.
All right, is three the correct answer?
I just realized I created a new player before this route.
Well done.
All right, so it looks as though it's very likely to be. Well, it's got to be between tree dog and ladybug for top spot. One question to go. Do we have one question left?
That's it. Yeah. This is it.
Next. Bitcoin Halving Quick. Who's got it? Calculate.
We don't know that.
Come on. We don't know that. I am going to go ahead.
I think the right answer is going to be March. But I put May.
I think it's C. Yeah, but technically.
It should be because it's going to be faster. But I think they'll probably.
This entire contest was rigged.
All right.
March.
Give me it.
Oh, my God. Did you. Did you get that?
I had March, buddy.
Oh, that's because I was behind.
I needed a leap.
Okay, hold up, hold up.
Wait, hold up, guys. I see Jesse behind that purple light there. I think. I think he was.
Wow. I knew I needed. I needed to go with the riskier chance, you know, because I was behind.
So Pete Rizzo is The brainiest person in crypto, man.
Let me have that trophy. How are you? How does that get delivered, by the way? Do I have to come pick it.
Up live in dc? We gotta mail it to you.
All right.
Well, all right.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, let's have a pose there from Pete. Just a triumphant winner's.
You can superimpose the trophy there, maybe. Also, how do you know that I'm Ladybug Sailor?
That is a good question. That's a good question.
How can you validate that it's me?
It's pseudonymous, I guess.
Are you trusting or are you verifying?
Share the screen. Proof of handle.
Proof of handle.
Oh, I got one of those screens that here.
First of all, you're not allowed to use your phone. We gotta talk to the judges.
Take a screenshot.
All right, so what happens next, Pat? Do we now say thank you to everybody and encourage everyone to donate to the giving block and thank our sponsors for this first of hopefully many crypto trivia tournaments, some of which will have accurate answers.
I look forward to my title next time.
For like a recap of everything Celsius donated. They were sponsored. Thank you, guys. Gemini put up 20k to match donations in cryptocurrency over the month of December. Thank you. Coin Telegraph. Obviously hosting the stream, putting everything out. We've got Ledger, who put up 100 Ledger Nano S. We're going to give those out to the first hundred donors. We give $100 or more. Following this presentation. I think we're already at like 50, which is awesome. So we've got 50 more to give out to folks who give $100 or more in crypto. And then all of the Spartan bag season, which is bitcoin annual giving, which is meant to offset your capital gains taxes. Now more important than ever because bitcoin is skyrocketing. So we're going to do another one of these. January 7th, I believe is the date. So make sure to register for tournament number two. Shoot us an email if you don't have the link and then go to thegivingblock.com if you want to make a donation to a charity and get a tax deduction receipt sent right to your email. You can present the IRS to pay less cap gains taxes and give more to charitable causes.
All of which makes me wonder why you weren't hosting this instead of me. Because I haven't got a. Because that was eloquent and well argued. This is.
This was a lot of fun. It was a little bit of a shit show, but I expected that and I wanted it to be a little bit that way people got to know each other and we're gonna do trivia tournaments. We've done poker tournaments in the past. We're start doing more of that in 2021. And if anyone on the stream or anyone who's watching the stream wants to put together an event that brings together crypto folks and companies in a way that can support charitable causes, reach out to us at the Giving Block and we can help organize that. So that's what we do.
Fantastic. Well much appreciated of course. And again whoever was generous enough to donate over 5 bitcoins during this stream, thank you on behalf of all the charities that are supported by the Giving Block. Thank you for joining us and I hope everybody has a lovely evening. Thanks to all the players you can see on the screen. Thanks and goodbye I guess.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much everyone.
