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 Day America Stopped

👉 Marquee Event

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while riding in an open-top motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. He was struck by gunfire, and later pronounced dead at Parkland Memorial Hospital. He was just 46 years old.

The assassination shocked the world and remains one of the most heavily investigated and debated political murders in modern history. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the 36th U.S. President aboard Air Force One later that day.

📌 Why This Matters

John F. Kennedy’s presidency was defined by visionary leadership, youth, and charisma. From the Cuban Missile Crisis and Bay of Pigs to his support for the space race and civil rights, JFK symbolized progress, ambition, and optimism.

His assassination marked a rupture in American innocence and thrust the nation into political and cultural turmoil that would define the decades to come. The event birthed a vast universe of conspiracy theories, mistrust in institutions, and continued debate over the official account that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

🎯 How Much do you Know about JFK?

JFK’s legacy transcends his short time in office. His speeches—like the inaugural "Ask not what your country can do for you" or his goal to land a man on the moon—redefined presidential oratory.

He remains a cultural icon, inspiring generations through the ideals of service, courage, and leadership.

Even his tragic end has cemented him in global memory, elevating his image to one of mythic proportions, alongside Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., in the pantheon of American leaders taken too soon.
