BROUGHT TO YOU BY…

Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.

In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.

Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written, one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Token on GeckoTerminal, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

👉 The Token is now live on DEX (decentralized exchanges): secure them tokens early: See MOT Token »

Brigitte Bardot’s Legacy

📅 September 28, 1934 – Brigitte Bardot is born in Paris, France.

From a ballet student to an international movie star, Bardot would become one of the most recognizable faces of the 20th century, a muse to artists and filmmakers, and later, a passionate advocate for animals.

📌 Why This Matters

Brigitte Bardot wasn’t just another actress; she was a cultural earthquake. In the 1950s and 60s, she embodied a new type of woman on screen: independent, sensual, and unapologetically free. Films like And God Created Woman (1956) transformed global cinema, challenging conservative norms and inspiring an entire generation to rethink ideas about femininity and sexuality.

Her influence reached beyond the screen. Bardot inspired fashion trends (the off-the-shoulder “Bardot neckline” still bears her name), was immortalized in songs by artists like Serge Gainsbourg, and became a global icon alongside Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren.

Then, in a radical shift, Bardot left behind fame and fortune in her late 30s to devote her life to animal rights. She founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986, funding sanctuaries, campaigns against fur, and international efforts to protect endangered species. She even sold her jewelry and belongings to finance the cause, choosing animals over Hollywood glamour.

Bardot’s story matters because it shows how one individual can completely reinvent themselves, and still leave a lasting mark on multiple worlds: cinema, fashion, culture, and activism.
