In 2008, someone using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto published the design of the cryptocurrency bitcoin, proposed the initial code and was active online for just under two years.

Election Entertainment Rights relationships Celebrity Love UPS I was devastated to learn my younger brother voted for Trump. How do I move forward in my family?
Hi Jake,Like a lot of people, I’m completely distraught over this week’s election results. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I’ve never been more afraid for my future and sad for my country. What is most upsetting to me, however, is learning that my younger brother voted for Trump. On election night, he was celebrating, while my mom and I were in despair. I feel a conflicting mix of emotions. Anger. Sadness. Betrayal. Disgust. But, mostly, I’m not sure how (or if) my relationship with him can heal from this. He doesn’t seem to understand (or care?) about the real-life impact this election or the impact his giddiness over Trump’s victory has on me (which, TBH, is the most appalling part). Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.I seriously have no idea how to communicate with him right now, and what I would even say. I love my brother, which is why this hurts so much, but I’m having a hard time seeing how I can possibly have a relationship with him moving forward. Any advice? Bro Code BrokenDear Bro Code Broken,What you’re feeling this week is not only 100% normal, it’s 1000% expected.
