If you think Bitcoin’s 12.8% slide is cause for panic, I reckon you’ve been reading too many headlines and not enough Mark Twain.

PeckShield, the blockchain snoopers, spilled the tea on Tuesday, revealing that a user of Venus Protocol, a platform that sounds like some kind of celestial dating app, lost a shocking $27 million worth of crypto.

Lower rates, you see, make safe havens such as U.S. Treasuries less beguiling, compelling investors to seek thrills elsewhere. And what greater thrill than the volatile dance of cryptocurrencies?
