Tether’s war chest keeps growing… +$1B in a single quarter.

I have more reason to dislike Roger Ver than most. I was friends with the guy from 2011 until the bcash split. He oranged pilled me, paying 14btc for baklava, helped so many liberty-minded individuals in NH, and hired me as the first employee at Blockchain(dot)info.

'Greatest church that never was': Lutyens’s Proposed Liverpool Cathedral. If the UK hadn't abandoned the gold standard, would this monumental cathedral have been built? The project began in 1933 and died in '53. youtube.com/watch?v=6gILJa…

Did you notice the director's tie being askew? His name was Sir Josiah Stamp, an industrialist and banker—second wealthiest man in England. Refusing to move out of his London home during the German air raids of '41, he was tragically killed by a direct hit at age 60.
