Today's Top #2: In November 1910 six men disguised as duck hunters met secretly at Jekyll Island. 3 years later the Federal Reserve was created. Forbes described the meeting as the “strangest, most secretive expedition in the history of American finance.”

tldr; A seven-foot-tall inflatable Bitcoin rat was placed at Jekyll Island, the birthplace of the Federal Reserve, by artist Nelson Saiers. The rat, marked with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto's code, symbolizes criticism of the banking system. Saiers, a former hedge fund manager turned artist, aims to highlight perceived unfairness in banking, referencing Bitcoin's origins as a response to financial crises. The installation coincides with the Fed's policy changes and the anniversary of the Federal Reserve Act, drawing attention to ongoing financial system debates.
