Having left Ripple in 2013—presumably to find himself somewhere fabulously eccentric—McCaleb has grabbed his billion-dollar fortune from XRP sales with both hands and, in a fit of audacity, has now birthed his latest creation: Vast Space LLC.

Oh, the eternal conundrum of the mortal masses: to collect or not to collect? In a move that will either elevate the masses to the realm of the enlightened or plunge them into the abyss of Web3 despair, Sony Pictures has joined forces with YOAKE to create NFTs of Netflix’s The Seven Deadly Sins. 🤯

BTC mining difficulty is like a tricky riddle wrapped in a conundrum, all tied up with a bow of complexity! 🎀 It tells you just how hard it is for our average Joe miner to verify those blockchain transactions and snag a shiny new Bitcoin.

Contrary to the wild imaginings of certain gossipmongers, this bill is not to birth a “Bitcoin reserve” with all the pomp and circumstance of a royal christening. Instead, it follows a considerably more relaxed model, much akin to the recent romps in legislative ballet underway in Florida—the ever-fascinating House Bill 487 (HB487) and Senate Bill 550 (SB550). These dandy bits of legislation, much to the chagrin of some traditionalists, allow public funds to waltz into the world of Bitcoin without the shackles of mandatory reserve requirements. Tsk, tsk! Such liberality! 💃💵

Okay, okay, don’t panic! 🙅‍♂️ North Carolina’s lawmakers are at it again, folks! They’ve introduced bills that’ll let state pension funds (yeah, the ones meant for your grandma’s bingo nights 🎲) invest in the Wild West of finance: CRYPTOCURRENCY! 🤠

Should this canine coin manage to prance above the $0.0000136 mark, it might just leap 15% higher, aiming for the lofty heights of $0.000017. A feat worthy of a circus act, no? 🎪
