Joseph Lubin, that venerable oracle of Consensys, took to the digital agora of X to confess-rather sheepishly, one suspects-that their grand calculations were but a gentle breeze compared to the Hurricane Linea that swept in. Even triply overprovisioned, the poor engines groaned under twice the expected load, prompting an impromptu deployment of additional forces until calm, or at least something resembling it, was restored.
The digital grapevine, now known as X, buzzes with whispered scandals and open jabs.

Our dashing protagonist, Paul Atkins, the head honcho of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has declared from his velvet throne that most “crypto tokens are not securities” – yes, you heard it, darlings, not securities!
