It has been a celebrity-filled Tremendous Bowl.
We noticed Tim Cook dinner putting a power stance. We noticed Taylor Swift picking her nails and slamming a drink. And we noticed Jack Dorsey in a t-shirt that is making waves on X, previously often called Twitter.
Dorsey — the cofounder and former CEO of the platform — was photographed within the stands sitting with Beyonce and Jay-Z.
The tech mogul’s alternative of clothes is attracting as a lot consideration as his A-list companions (and, oh yeah, the A-list occasion they had been at). That is as a result of Dorsey might be seen sporting a black t-shirt that claims “Satoshi” in yellow lettering.
Two issues to notice right here:
-
Satoshi Nakamoto is claimed to be the inventor of bitcoin. Little or no is thought about Satoshi, together with, even, whether or not Satoshi is an individual or a gaggle of individuals, however he’s credited with writing the unique white paper on bitcoin.
-
The shirt is a riff on the long-lasting Nirvana Smiley Face emblem, which — very like Satoshi — has equally apocryphal origins.
Dorsey has been a vocal supporter of bitcoin for years. In 2021, he tweeted, “Bitcoin modifications *every part*…for the higher.”
He was concerned in a public and drawn-out spat with Vitalik Buterin, the cofounder of Ethereum, over which of the 2 cryptocurrencies is best.
In June 2022, he and Jay-Z launched Bitcoin Academy, a free, 12-week schooling course for individuals residing in Marcy Homes, the general public housing advanced in Brooklyn the place Jay-Z grew up.
The 2 have been noticed collectively through the years in locations starting from the Hamptons to Hawaii. In March 2021, Dorsey’s Sq. purchased a majority stake in Jay-Z’s Tidal for practically $300 million. (For extra on that, try this useful historical past of their relationship my colleague Avery Hartmans wrote a few years in the past.)
When you had been hoping to get your arms on a type of shirts your self, Etsy, as typical, has your again. On the time of writing, although, that precise merchandise was already in 15 carts, so if Dorsey is your private type icon, you’d higher hurry.
