In the land of crypto, where fortunes rise and fall like the tides of the Dnieper, a poor soul hath fallen prey to the cunning of a digital brigand. More than $500,000 in USDT, a treasure fit for a tsar, hath vanished into the ether, never to return. Alas, a simple mistake, a moment of inattention, and the gold turned to dust! 🌪️

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter, because why not rename everything these days?), Garlinghouse pointed out that financial services costs have dropped by 3.5%. His hot take? It’s all thanks to the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly policies. 🏦✨ Apparently, making crypto less of a regulatory minefield has made financial services cheaper. Who’d have thought?
