If I ever meet a professional trader of Brent Crude Oil I'm gonna try selling them an expensive Ape NFT because those suckers will fall for anything

The (understandable) focus on protecting young people means that politicians, the media and civil society have largely been blind to the incredible extent to which swathes of older people have been radicalised online in the last decade.

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.
