Post an awesome video clip

While I see no reason to doubt the above is closer to the truth than what was said in the video, it still wouldn't sound as fun/clickbaity ^_^
Also, iirc the youtuber didn't mention anything about crowdfunding (up to 12 mil?) to pay for stuff/projects after purchasing the copy for 3 mil. Of course if that is what happened, it was an excellent (scam-wise) move by them, while in the video one is left with the impression that they somehow decided to pay 3 mil for a book which others bought for less than 40K.
Still, who would so easily pay 3 mil of their own money, planning to make more mil by crypto-fans? Pretty risky, but impressive if it is what they did (unless they were already crowdfunding "future" plans as they were buying the book).
And to tie it to something discussed in another thread, that would have been a decent misdirect

I think both statements are true. They wildly overpaid at the auction, with the book selling for almost 100 times its estimated value and what other copies had previously sold forâ€"though as I said, the book is rare, so it's not like you could just at any time scrape together $40k and just go out and buy one. The opportunity only comes around rarely. (At the time, the DAO hadn't raised enough to pay for it, so Soban Saqib, a crypto-millionnaire, provided the funds. Technically speaking he was the one who actually bought the bookâ€"as I understand it he later sold it or otherwise transferred ownership to the DAO.)

Then over the following days the DAO raised more money off the publicity around the sale. Saqib claimed they raised $12M. Earlier this year they apparently held about $3M in Etherium, before the currency crashed and the value sank to about a third: that sum may be the money left over after the purchase and their various other investments.

Has anyone, other than the auction house and the extremely lucky seller, made bank from this affair? I don't know, but with so much money floating around and the vague and unrealistic mandates for how to spend it, as well as the general crypto-currency mindset, it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Maybe the book-seller was in on the trick and had to pay them a cut

You wouldn't be human if you didn't

It seems I have one or two friends who are not human then... but the vast majority of people I shared the clip with admitted that they laughed.

I sure did at the unexpected end!

Great game, great breakdown, also featuring a forum member (starting at ~25:00)!

Penrose is just cool.
This video includes a bit about his theory of generations of the universe (cyclic; each preceded by a "big bang" event) and the deliciously sci-fi idea about a prospect of an advanced enough civilization of the previous generation sending messages (prior to its own collapse) to the next generation.
