XRP $100: A Liquidity Event or a Mirage? 🎩💰
Enter Bayberry Capital, those sages of the crypto realm, who declare that $100 is not a price target but a “liquidity event number.” A clever ruse, no? For what is a price target but a mirage? 🌀
Man Who Once Tamed Bitcoin Futures Returns to Save Us All (Again) 🚀🐮
Yes, the CFTC-yes, that alphabet soup agency that somehow regulates everything from pork belly futures to the very fabric of digital reality-has once again summoned Amir Zaidi from the corporate wilderness. This time, as Chief of Staff. Presumably, a chair with more responsibilities than the last one. Or possibly just better coffee.
Cuban’s Crypto Lawsuit: A Shocking Twist! 🤯
A U.S. federal judge, with the wisdom of a thousand grumpy old men, dismissed a crypto investor lawsuit against Mark Cuban and the Mavericks. Why? Because the defendants weren’t “found” in Florida. It’s like trying to sue a ghost for stealing your candy. 🧛♂️
🇷🇺💰 Sberbank Goes Crypto-Crazy: Bitcoin Loans & Digital Rubles, Oh My!

They Laughed at Bitcoin – Then Tether Bought 9,000 of Them 😱💸
Yes, dear reader, while honest citizens were weeping over their crypto portfolios and questioning the existence of free will, Tether was calmly expanding its Bitcoin hoard like a paranoid squirrel with a billion-dollar inheritance.

Over the past three years, the market has strutted about like a hypnotized jester unshaken by the collapse of empires-temporary setbacks mere flickers in an otherwise unbreakable mirror. But beneath this veneer of invincibility, an unease stirs, like a suppressed whisper beneath a grand chandelier.
