BitBot is going crazy… do not follow him plz

Today, in 1920, some provinces in Canada implemented a prohibition law. But who cares - even if they impose this ridiculous law worldwide right now, crypto will more than make up for the absence of dopamine highs in your brain.

Now, we have a character - Ben Armstrong, formerly known as BitBoy. He either decided to create a show or genuinely lost his mind... In short, recently he went armed to confront his former business partner, and even earlier, he announced his divorce from his wife and the beginning of a new relationship with some crypto girl, all in a single tweet.

What's the point of all this? Protect your heads, guys. 

Manipulations... how charming :3

Yesterday, the BTC-ETF ticker from BlackRock disappeared from the DTCC website and then reappeared. At the same time, there was news that the SEC fined BlackRock $2.5 million for not properly disclosing their investments in the entertainment industry.

The cherry on top - according to reports, the BTC-ETF ticker has been on the DTCC website since August... Long story short, this outdated news caused a market surge and euphoric sentiments, even though this ticker doesn't say anything significant yet: neither about ETF approval nor about SEC endorsement. As we wrote yesterday - it's crucial to remain cautious with positive moves right now.
