This milestone reinforces 00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:55.980 how the economics of Bitcoin are different from 00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:58.420 traditional currency systems like the dollar, 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.180 which allow governments to always print more 00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:05.579 money.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.460 science. This huge 74 -million -year -old shinbone, 00:09:35.860 --> 00:09:38.399 found in New Mexico, may have belonged to a close 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.289 relative of the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex. According 00:09:42.289 --> 00:09:44.990 to a study published March 12th in the journal 00:09:44.990 --> 00:09:48.789 Scientific Reports, researchers suspect it belonged 00:09:48.789 --> 00:09:51.830 to a massive Tyrannosaur that may have weighed 00:09:51.830 --> 00:09:54.450 more than four and a half tons and stretched 00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:58.549 about 35 feet long. Study co -author Spencer 00:09:58.549 --> 00:10:01.950 Lucas notes that it is a very large Tyrannosaur 00:10:01.950 --> 00:10:06.070 for its time, much older than expected. However, 00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:08.809 some experts suggest the bone may belong to a 00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:11.639 different genus. emphasizing the need for more 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:18.139 specimens to confirm its origins. And in entertainment 00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:22.059 news, Jason Ritter appeared as an uncredited 00:10:22.059 --> 00:10:25.620 clicker on The Last of Us when his wife, Melanie 00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:29.600 Lindste was on the show.
