Washington, with the finesse of a man buying a loaf of bread, paid $8.9 billion for a 9.9% slice of Intel in 2025. Now, the Treasury hoards $47.6 billion in unrealized gains, as if the government had accidentally stumbled upon a goldmine while drafting tax codes. Intel shares, climbing like drunken sailors after a storm, hit $129-an all-time high, yet somehow still cheaper than a first-class ticket to Mars.
Crypto conference season was basically a Netflix series where every scene is a montage of crowded booths and panels featuring founders who probably forgot their own ideas. Side events ran until 3 a.m.-because why sleep when you can sip overpriced kombucha and pretend you’re in a TED Talk? But let’s be real: if you weren’t there, you’d have no idea it existed. The hype?

A cruise ship had an outbreak, a few people died, and now we’re supposed to believe this is the next big thing in crypto? These guys would probably tokenize a paper cut if they thought it’d make them a buck.
“If you are in crypto for 5 years and you don’t have $PI then you are failed,” Wu wrote.
Ethereum is now playing hide and seek with the $2,400 price chart, while DEX volume-once a sprightly dancer-has taken a permanent seat on the couch, and DApp revenue is now auditioning for a role as a ghost. Market sentiment? It’s been replaced by a clown car full of existential dread.
His words, a rallying cry for the crypto faithful, echo through the halls of power. Yet, one must ask: when did the fight for digital finance become a battle for national pride? Perhaps the answer lies in the shadows of Wall Street, where every coin has a story.
Key Takeaways:
According to Bank of America, the TWSE Index climbed 22.7% month-over-month to 38,926.63 and is now up 34.4% since the start of the year. (If only they could track the number of people who’ve lost their minds in the process.)
