in the book The Hobbit, Bilbo stumbles across the Ring in total pitch black; a chance occurrence driving home the sheer provenance and will power of the Ring itself, setting off the series of events that will indelibly shape the future of Middle Earth forever
in the movie, Bilbo merely witnesses Gollum drop the Ring
*HORRIBLE* directorial decision
it’s as sacrilegious as Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory finding a fucking £5 (or £10?! I forget) note instead of finding the very exact denomination he needed to buy me single chocolate bar
- completely cheapens the storytelling experience
shout out to my tax advisor who said he was in White Horse at the time bitcoin was $200 (CAD) a coin
while cooling wouldn’t have been an issue, he said he almost set up mining rigs but didn’t because of the other overhead costs, would’ve been a distraction from his job, etc.
to which I say, “suuuure.”
I see you, Jay 😉
if you have an Mk4 from Coinkite, congratulations; you own a piece of bitcoin maxi history
with the introduction of the new Mk5 today, Mk4s are now discontinued
meet Terrence Howard
Terrence is an Oscar-nominated actor
Terrence has a career spanning over 30 years, with appearances in major films and TV shows
Terrence has just $4 million
Terrence once proclaimed that 1x1 = 2, and that he remembers being in his mother’s womb
Terrence retired from acting in 2019, citing he was done “pretending”
Terrence continues to pretend to know what he’s talking about by claiming bitcoin will die, and that it can be wiped out with a button “somewhere”
don’t be like Terrence
