In a universe where logic walks barefoot and Newton’s laws take vacations, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) stands as a monument to the sheer audacity of gullibility.

Behold, more Bitcoin is returning to profit, like a prodigal son stumbling back home after a night of questionable decisions.

On a Monday that felt more like a Tuesday, Minister Satsuki Katayama, ever the visionary, proclaimed that Japan’s financial markets would embrace crypto assets and blockchain technology with the enthusiasm of a child discovering a new toy. “There is still room for growth,” she said, as if the economy were a garden that had merely forgotten to water its plants.
