But fear not, dear reader, for in this digital age, vigilance is our armor. Crypto users, like modern-day Raskolnikovs, must resist the temptation to click on these deceptive links. For in doing so, they may find themselves in a labyrinth of deceit, far more treacherous than the streets of St. Petersburg at midnight. 🕵️‍♂️🔍

On a fateful March26th, the local parliament, in a stroke of legislative bravado, passed the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, crowning the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) with the scepter of crypto licensing authority.

Indeed, Bitcoin has recently tripped over its shoelaces, plummeting 25% from its January high. But don’t worry, Saylor—it’s the thought that counts, right? This latest haul is, if you can believe it, the largest acquisition of tokens for Strategy this year. Can we get a round of applause? 👏

Oh, dear hacker, how the mighty have fallen! 🤦‍♂️ The founder of the recently hacked decentralized finance protocol SIR.trading, Xatarrer, has made a pitiful plea to the attacker, begging them to return around 70% of the stolen customer funds, lest the protocol perish like a poor, defenseless moth in a candle flame. 💔

This decline, naturally, is blamed on the “market,” that nebulous scapegoat for all our financial woes. Investors, like frightened sheep, bleat about “risk” and the absence of any shining savior to lead them to the promised land of profit. As if profit were ever truly promised! 🙄

AMBCrypto, those digital detectives, have sniffed out that it’s not just the whales blowing bubbles in the ETH pond. A liquidation cascade could turn the market into a demand desert, with ETH’s price doing the limbo lower than a caterpillar’s belly.

When stablecoin market caps inflate, it’s akin to a gathering of digital dragons hoarding their gold, waiting for the perfect moment to unleash their treasure upon the lands of Crypto. 🐉💰
