BITCOIN 2017

An anonymous Bitcoin whale gave away $86 MILLION to charity in 2017 and disappeared
In December 2017 a user calling himself “Pine” posted on Reddit: “I have more money than I can ever spend” and pledged 5,057 BTC to charity
Over 5 months he sent $5M to GiveDirectly to fight poverty in Africa, $5M to fund MDMA-PTSD trials at MAPS, $5M to the Open Medicine Foundation, $1M to the Internet Archive, $1M to the EFF, $1M to charity water and 54 more charities on top.
He never doxxed himself and never claimed a tax deduction even though it would save him millions.
Those 5,057 BTC are worth $394 million today.

AI

BuBBliK @k1rallik
do you understand what just happened to mathematics..
A 23 year old with ZERO math degree opened ChatGPT on a Monday afternoon out of boredom.
80 minutes later – a 60-year-old unsolved problem was dead.
The problem? World’s top mathematicians had tried for decades. Failed..
The tool? A $20/month subscription..
The effort? One single prompt..
And here’s the wild part – the AI used a method everyone already knew existed. Nobody just thought to apply it HERE.
Terence Tao (literally the greatest living mathematician) called it “a meaningful contribution that goes well beyond solving this one problem”
We are not ready for what’s coming next..

Setup is simple:

↳ Install with pip
↳ Run: maigret username
↳ Get results in minutes

Outputs are clean and usable:
