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 Bruce Lee Legacy

👉 Marquee Event

On November 27, 1940, in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Bruce Lee was born to Chinese opera star Lee Hoi-chuen and his wife Grace. Though American by birth, Lee was raised in Hong Kong, where he began acting in films as a child.

What followed was a meteoric rise that would forever alter the worlds of cinema, martial arts, and global popular culture.

Lee’s revolutionary vision fused Eastern philosophy, martial arts mastery, and Hollywood storytelling. His breakout roles in The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, and Enter the Dragon turned him into a global icon—one who shattered stereotypes and redefined masculinity, athleticism, and philosophy for generations to come.

📌 Why This Matters

Bruce Lee wasn’t just a martial arts master, he was a cultural force.

He changed how Asians were portrayed in Western media, stood against racism, and created Jeet Kune Do, a fluid, hybrid fighting style that emphasized adaptability over tradition.

He also brought martial arts into the mainstream, inspiring millions around the world to study disciplines from Kung Fu to MMA.

Though he died tragically young at age 32, his legacy still echoes in movies, gyms, classrooms, and philosophies around the world.
