Top Friday fun fact

“Big Ben” is Not the Famous Clock Tower, but Rather the Name of the Great Bell Inside the Tower.

If you’ve ever been to London, or even seen a picture of London, you’ve probably seen the giant clock tower at the corner of the Palace of Westminster. This tower is one of London’s major icons, ranking right up there with red double-decker buses, the London Eye, and Platform 9 ¾.

Contrary to popular belief, the clock tower itself is not named “Big Ben”. Rather, it is named “Elizabeth Tower”, after Queen Elizabeth II; named such during her Diamond Jubilee (the 2012 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne). Before that, it was just called “Clock Tower”. So why is it so often called “Big Ben”? That is due to the great bell inside the tower that chimes the hour out and goes by that name. Over time this has morphed into many calling the clock tower itself that even today, despite the recent, very public, name change.

I can't believe I'm on this list. Thanks to those who have read the posts about my country, I want to be the voice of those in Venezuela who can't speak because their lives are in danger. Happy weekend.

You've been doing incredible work. You're putting the "News" in Stacker News.

Trump made a lot of bitcoin-related promises he likely won't keep, but as @kepford points out, his need to make promises to bitcoiners is proof that bitcoin is winning.

We bitcoiners can miss the forest for the trees sometimes. Both those that believe politicians and those that do not see this event as significant are doing that in my view. Many more significant things are yet to come. Many normies, statist, and fiat maxis will start their own deprogramming cycles. Bitcoin is a teacher. Some will never learn but for those that do, it will not be pure. Many dumb things will be said. They will repeat the mistakes of the past.

I'm just trying to stay humble, stack sats, and keep my head up.

Trump made some big promises in Nashville, three I'm happy about is the pardoning of Ross Ulbricht, the mantaining of the strategic reserve and lastly standing up for self-custody.
