The message to the galaxy is clear: Saylor & Co. are ready to hoover up more Bitcoin like a black hole at a buffet. And let’s face it, who needs a retirement plan when you can just buy more Bitcoin and hope the bag doesn’t rip?
Ah, Decibel, that grand, fully on-chain perpetuals exchange, has now made its grand entrance on the Aptos mainnet, finally letting the long-suffering traders of the world exchange perpetual contracts directly on the blockchain.
