Who were the last great explorers in the world?

There have been absolutely ZERO in the last many hundred years. And not the government funded fake exploration crap like admiral Byrd.

The joke “don’t worry about it, there’s nothing left to explore, we’ve already found everything” is a cruel joke on the world.

Bring back real risk & exploration even at the cost of life.

Where we goin?

Ok. How about the Grand Canyon? On our own, unattended.

Or deep into Antarctica?

Sail into the North Pole?

For starters.

All will get you shot without questions asked.

😩😩😩

There are many who just quietly get on with it

Nope. None.

Yep alot just go and explore without great fanfare

Not everyone’s a bitcoin podcaster 😂

I don’t care about some extreme hiker. So it was cold, who gives a shit.

I said exploration.

Exploration, by definition, is an act of finding, documenting and furthering the world. Sharing is exploration. Not talking about some weekend hike with friends in the pub.

I know what you’re talking about and there still are expolrations

The fact that we are grown men and live on this planet and will never know what is in Antarctica should bother you as much as it does me. It just should.

I don’t need to go to Antarctica, I did go to Everest

Nice. Kind of the Walmart of mountains but nice.

That $60K should have gone to BTC if this trip was any time since 2008.

I trekked to base camp, was an amazing experience. Everest is no Walmart of

Mountains. It’s a phenomenal mountain range

Sounds awesome. Pyramids are on the family list here.

I don’t have much desire to do the Everest thing. If I did, I’d bring the skis a tear it up.

That’d be one hell of a ski trip

I’d be the frozen guy they find head down/skis up, 40 years later.

There are plenty of those on Everest

Have you read ‘touching the void’ ?

I spent a great evening in the pub with Joe Simpson. He is a true explorer . A climber who pushed himself to extremes and has lost many ‘risk taking ‘ friends. A very humble, cool guy.

Wow. Very cool.

Climbing just isn’t my thing. It’s like jumping out of an airplane. Fun for the people doing it and you push yourself mentally/physically but the risk of death just to say u did it doesn’t compute with me.

Sherpas climb those mountains like it’s a walk in the park. They don’t make many lists of the amazing climbers. Some do but rare.

There are many phenomenal climbers, Joe was a passionate climber and had so many incredible experiences. He also saw quite a few friends fall to their death which takes its toll

I can imagine. All the respect in the world to those guys. That’s a passion that drives them all.

Haven’t. No.

Into Thin Air was a pretty good book. Enjoyed that.

Read touching the void 👍

The list is long but adding to the list. 🙏

It’s a phenomenal story of survival, all true

I’ve always thought that the world would be a better place if boys/men engaged in more risk taking behaviour. We should feel like we were on the cusp of death, at least once. I think we would appreciate life a little more.

👆💯🤔You get it.

It’s not difficult to get what you’re saying, if you want to go deep then off you go. It’s possible to go very extreme

very quickly. Risk taking leads to loads of death every year. That’s not your

point of exploring though. You seem to be saying we all play it too safe nowadays which is true, but many still push boundaries

⚡️👊

Bollocks.

You missed my point. I’m not talking about some hikers going to approved areas but pushing their limits.

Nobody can go to Antarctica, North Pole, deep into Grand Canyon etc etc.

It’s illegal and highly protected.

Yep people still do go to many places

You’re right many places that have been explored have protection orders but there are many places people still explore

No comment on the use of Bollocks? I’ve been working on my UK language skills. So far I have bollocks & cunt memorized.

Was a good use of bollocks ✅

I concur. I immediately assumed you were British.

Yep couldn’t be more. Born England, Scottish father, Mother a Manc. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure how I come across on here, but I’m actually a caring guy. I just f’ing detest BS and plain in your face lying. 🤷‍♂️

👊👆That is absolutely how you come across friend. Much respect.

That’s a relief. 🤙👊

Even though you live in a place that still worships a King & Queen. Has pretty drab weather. Ok to below ok food in general. No ice hockey which is absurd. Shanking piss drunks even though I’d rather be shot than stabbed and so much more.

Bit fruity and chilly but I love it. Could do with some global warming though 😉

Don’t take the piss

You avin’ a f’in laugh ? You takin’ the piss ! You’ll get fuckin’ shanked you cunt

No more getting pissed for me. And the shanking is real. When I was in London that’s the one thing my buddies told me to be aware of. They’ll shank ya.

They love a fast stab

Just shoot me and you can have the money. I can’t watch movies that have stabbings. It’s just rude.

Too much gold in the Grand Canyon.

Too many portals in Antarctica.

I just hope we learn the truth in our current lifetime. I’m hopeful

👆this. Yes. It bothers me a lot sometimes. Like a lot.

And other times I just don’t care and go play hockey or golf with my brother & friends and live blissfully in my ignorance.

Life is weird.

Oh and I buy a lot of BTC. All the time.

Maybe that’s what Satoshi is doing now? His new project?🤔🧐

I see you referring to Admiral Byrd, great discoverer of the Hollow Earth™️ (which is far better than flat earth 😮‍💨)

Both work. That’s my point. Real, current, documented, live video, exploration. Nope. Never. Not in my lifetime.

We get Byrds scribbled notes like reading hieroglyphics on a cave wall.

Nasa’s Artemis 3 plans to put some meatbags on the moon in 2025 👀

Brilliant.

bitcoin is the new lsnd in cyberspace

Govs won’t let anyone pass the 60 latitude north or south

Or any deep sea exploration

Yup. Thus my point on getting shot without questions.

You also cannot go into the Grand Canyon. Like Antarctica I think they allow people to touch one rock near the edge.

Ooooooh, yay. It feels like a rock. Don’t know why that angers me so much. I don’t do well with being told what to do.

Can’t go there without getting shot, too many Egyptian pyramids and references there in the Grand Canyon

The last great explorers ironically are the Nazis, they all went to the Antarctica just before war ended. Hitler made to beyond the ice wall

Maybe one day we can go explore with an army big enough to secure passage

🔥🫡 That’s what I’m saying. You get it.

We need secure and comfortable airships from the old world. Zeppelins 🥰

Bring back the Hindenburg. We could fit hundreds on that thing.

And that was small scale compared to the ones from the old world.

Floating cities in the sky

Safe too. That disaster was not what it seemed. Ended the whole thing.

Maybe all those lies and all that shit & lies & scams had to happen to eventually give us Bitcoin?

What a coincidence to have a photographer with a camera ready to capture it all? lol

Now, bitcoin had to happen to break all the lies. By who? Most likely white hats (white hat AI) within the nsa me thinks
