Bombs, Bitcoin, and Bluster: Mr. Trump’s Latest Follies

The President, in a conversation with the estimable Miss Landers of PBS News, declared with his usual aplomb that should the ceasefire end on Tuesday, “then lots of bombs start going off.” One can only imagine the consternation this must have caused among the more delicate members of society, not to mention the financial markets.

This was achieved through a bridge constructed upon LayerZero, a mechanism purportedly designed for the noble purpose of inter-blockchain communication. Alas!
