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 Solana Token on Raydium, 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.

He was born on May 29, 1917—and changed the world long before he left it.

Marquee Event of the Day

May 29, 1917: John F. Kennedy is born.
On this day in Brookline, Massachusetts, the 35th President of the United States—and the youngest ever elected—entered the world.

Why this matters:

We remember the end so vividly: Dallas, the motorcade, the chaos.

But how often do we stop to remember the beginning?

Born into wealth, ambition, and influence, John F. Kennedy wasn’t a foregone political hero. In fact, he nearly didn’t survive infancy due to a series of childhood illnesses. But he persevered—first as a war hero in WWII, then as a young congressman, and finally as a president whose youth, charisma, and idealism came to define an era.

From the Cuban Missile Crisis to the launch of the Space Race, JFK led with a unique blend of vision and vulnerability. His speeches still echo, his mystique still captivates, and his legacy continues to shape how the world views leadership.

On this anniversary, we look not at his tragic end—but at the promise of his beginning.
