Six years ago, in the spring of 2018, Teezo Touchdown and some friends drove nearly 250 miles across Texas from their hometown, Beaumont, to the state capital of Austin. SXSW was in full swing, bringing thousands of people each day to the downtown thoroughfare of Sixth Street, where Teezo and his friends set up. “We got ourselves a speaker and a microphone,” he recalled last night. “But we didn’t have no shows.” So, Teezo said, he spilled his soul right there on the street until the cops made him leave for performing without a permit.

The 2024 Super Bowl featured many celebrity spectators, from Taylor Swift rooting for her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce, to Paul Rudd, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé and Jay-Z with the power couple seated near the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter (now known as X) Jack Dorsey.
On the social media platform Dorsey co-founded, it was his T-shirt that soon became the subject of chatter. The tee in question featured the Nirvana smiley face logo with text that read “Satoshi.”

On Super Bowl Sunday, Bluesky showed off its signature feature. Days after leaving its invite-only period, the decentralized X alternative rolled out a special feed for users who wanted to follow the Big Game without hearing about Taylor Swift.
Bluesky aims to provide a more customizable experience than X by letting users — not algorithms — determine the posts that show up on their feeds. The social network showed off that feature during Super Bowl Lviii, when it offered a pair of second-screen experiences catered to different cultural tastes. For the Swifties, Bluesky offered “Taylor’s Version” of the feed, which was filled with updates about Swift and her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
A separate feed eschewed Taylor Swift commentary altogether. “The real distinction is that some football fans have strong feelings about *not* seeing any Ts-related content in their football news, and the first feed can provide that for them,...

New Delhi, July 11 (Ians) As the world of cryptocurrency tumbles down amid regulatory crackdowns, there are 19 individuals in the world who achieved the title of a billionaire through cryptocurrency.
One cryptocurrency in particular that has led to investors amassing impressive returns is Bitcoin.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym for the creator of Bitcoin, is widely assumed to have the most Bitcoin wealth. Though the creator has not officially revealed the amount of Bitcoin he holds, estimates predict he has a wallet containing around 1.1 million Btc, according to data shared by niche news publisher BanklessTimes.com.
This would convert to a staggering around $25 billion.
“Following Nakamoto is Changpeng Zhao, commonly known as Cz who is the founder and CEO of Binance, with a total of $65 billion. Prior to Sam Bankman-Fried’s scandal, he took third position with a total of $24 billion,” the report showed.
Looking at the landscape of Btc investing across countries,...

"What do you two really think of each other?" Trinity Creative has revealed the official US trailer for the dark comedy film Decrypted, a wacky crypto film made by filmmaker Tom Sands. After debuting last year in the UK, the film is now available to watch on VOD in the US if anyone is curious - "the feature film that is taking the crypto community by storm." An outrageous and provocative film about a mismatched Nsa team who kidnap Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, to get the info they need to destroy cryptocurrencies. The botched interrogation forces together a group of people who then get into all kinds of trouble. The cast includes Talisa Garcia, Sophia Myles, David Hoflin, Amanda Abbington, Kevin McNally, Clive Francis, Aki Kotabe, Don Gilet, and Sophie Barker. This looks too dumb and kooky to be any good. But I'm glad someone is willing to...

In 2008, the year Kings of Leon dominated airwaves with one-two punch of ”Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody,” a mysterious figure named Satoshi Nakamoto appeared online with an obscure idea for the first-ever truly digital form of money: bitcoin. More than twelve years later, the Southern Rock band is now trying to use the hot technology at the core of cryptocurrencies to re-ignite their career, in what tech boosters say could make for a revolution in how artists sell their work and support themselves.

In a huge labyrinthine ecosystem of labels, publishers, distributors, and royalty collectors, the idea of artists getting paid quickly may sound like a revolutionary concept. What if it wasn’t?
What if the music industry’s hundreds of thousands of artists — who are especially cash-strapped when they can’t tour, like right now in the Covid-19 pandemic — didn’t have to wait a cripplingly long time to get their royalties, but rather could receive streaming money instantaneously? Broaden that thought experiment: What if there was a “merch royalty,” so that...

Documentarian Alex Winter is solidifying his place within the tech world as a storyteller willing to look at modern systems stymying the old guard and exciting the new before helping to disseminate what they mean for the world at-large. He looked back at how Napster disrupted the music scene in Downloaded (something the movie and television industry faces today to the point where a sequel in the next five to ten years wouldn’t be far-fetched) and took us beneath the surface of buzzwords and indictments surrounding Tor and the dark web with Deep Web. Much like the latter’s central through line Ross Ulbricht, Winter’s latest Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain focuses on educating outsiders by humanizing a disruptor targeted by those working to maintain status quo.

Hollywood loves making films about new technology – A couple of years after a tech innovation or trend first appears, the film industry jumps on the bandwagon and makes a slew of movies about it.
Although the science fiction genre explored futuristic technologies as far back as Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927), the use of real-life modern tech as a major theme in film really began in the 1960’s. James Bond’s pager in From Russia with Love (1963) is surely the first time a mobile communications device appeared on the silver screen. By the 1980’s, computers were the big tech theme. Films like War Games (1983), Electric Dreams (1984) and Weird Science (1985) promised a future where computers would help us create the perfect mate and then burn us to a crisp.
In the 90’s the fledging internet and its geeky sibling e-mail were major plot devices in several films, including The Net (1995) and You...

Twenty-six men and women are seated along four folding tables laid end to end in the ballroom of a former Masonic lodge in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. An eclectic mix, ranging from local charity workers to Silicon Valley investors to cryptocurrency early adopters, they all believe that they’re about to make history. Specifically, they are here to help Brock Pierce – a child actor turned video-game entrepreneur turned crypto titan – give away a billion dollars to charity. Not in a will after his death, but now, in the prime...

One of the biggest mysteries in the blockchain and cryptocurrency world may soon be revealed in a forthcoming book.
Bloomberg News reporter Matthew Leising reports that Satoshi Nakamoto, the legendary “inventor” of bitcoin, may be working on a tell-all that will clear up the identity of who ignited the blockchain and cryptocurrency world with the publication of a white paper in 2008.
The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has never been revealed, although a few people have claimed the crown, offering little proof that would satisfy the computer scientists who largely define the community. It is unclear whether “Satoshi” is a real person, and may be several people. To date, little has been heard from the creator, who is said to hold several billion in bitcoins from early efforts.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that is created by “mining” a blockchain, which rewards users who solve complex equations. Although some liken it...
