By the time someone noticed, $4.8 million had already been siphoned out faster than a government employee’s patience at a coffee machine.
Enter Peter Schiff, the Cassandra of the cryptocurrency age, whose every tweet is a funeral dirge for Bitcoin bulls. With the gravity of a man who has seen the future, he poked at the fragile edifice of digital faith while gold and silver, those stoic relics of human greed, danced in triumph. Gold, that ancient custodian of despair, closed at $5,278, a number so round and regal it could have been carved on a pharaoh’s tomb. Silver, its scrappy cousin, added $5.50 to $93.66, as if to say, “We’ve done this before, and we’ll do it again.”

So, here we are, with six lucky (or should I say, well-informed?) Polymarket accounts pocketing $1.2 million after correctly betting that the U.S. would strike Iran on February 28. And how did they know? Well, according to blockchain detectives at Bubblemaps, these accounts had funds flowing in within 24 hours of the attack, and-surprise!-they bought “Yes” shares in the “U.S. strikes Iran by February 28, 2026?” market just hours before the explosions rocked Tehran.

A new framework uses intelligent resource allocation to optimize multichain blockchain infrastructures for improved scalability and performance.

Yet there is more! The bitcoin-to-gold ratio now languishes at 12.288 ounces, a 70% drawdown over 14 months-a statistic so grim it could make a monk weep into his rosary.
![The study demonstrates that calculations of [latex]\cos(\gamma)[/latex] diverge between an interacting many-body state-obtained through DMRG-and a Kohn-Sham reference, as evidenced by the differing values represented by filled circles and open squares, with a value of one serving as a benchmark for comparison.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22578v1/2602.22578v1/x5.png)
New research reveals that the agreement between standard and advanced quantum simulations hinges on fundamental symmetries, not just accurate density matching.

Lo, the sacred scrolls of CryptoRank reveal that Dogecoin’s February average is naught but -3.32%, a number so bleak it could make a gloomy poet weep. The 48-hour glimmer of hope, like a flickering candle in a storm, hath been snuffed out by the crypto market’s wrath, which hath descended with a 5.5% plunge. Thus, the dream of breaking the loss streak is dashed, as a fly swats a candle.
