Few years back when #bitcoin was at $200 I lobbied Georgian Government officials 🇬🇪 to invest up to $100 mln into #BTC from Reserves. No one listened.
Had they listened the ENTIRE EXTERNAL DEBT of $17 BLN would have BEEN PAID OFF by now.

This is not to be missed. Long, but watch it all. A stunning analysis of the January 6th insurrection: An In-Depth Look at How a Mob Stormed the Capitol

We filed motions to unseal police body-camera footage, scoured law enforcement radio communications, and synchronized and mapped the visual evidence. What we have come up with is a 40-minute panoramic take on Jan. 6, the most complete visual depiction of the Capitol riot to date. In putting it together, we gained critical insights into the character and motivation of rioters by experiencing the events of the day often through their own words and video recordings. We found evidence of members of extremist groups inciting others to riot and assault police officers. And we learned how Donald Trump’s own words resonated with the mob in real time as they staged the attack.
