As a bit of a throwback to another conference a long time ago in a galaxy far away, Will and Amir won the Consensus Proof-Of-Work award for $10,000 back in 2017. Look at these strapping young men (with Messari’s Ryan Selkis presenting the award).

Fun Stuff
I liked this article in the New York Times titled “The Secret to Ant Efficiency is Idleness.” You never want too many cooks in the kitchen.
I’ve been watching a lot of documentaries lately — some of my favorites: Waltz With Bashir, an Israeli animated war film, Icarus, which takes a deep dive into the world of doping, Maestro, about legendary DJ Larry Levan and Paradise Garage, and finally a must watch for any cryptocurrency enthusiast, Citizenfour, a chronicle of Edward Snowden and his NSA releases. I was reading the Reddit AMA done by Snowden and the two journalists who made Citizenfour, and found this very important comment from him about why a government should never have perfect surveillance and enforcement.
Amsterdam drained a canal and found items from the 14th century to the present. They found over 700,000 objects. Check out this time capsule on steroids.
Much love,
Rahul
