If you’re playing along at home, that means the average acquisition price was a jaw-slapping $0.78 per coin. Ah, the early 2010s, when coffee, beanie hats, and apparently Bitcoin were all under a dollar. The current ROI? Over 140,000x.

On Wednesday, Financial Services Chairman French Hill, Agriculture Chairman GT Thompson, and the rest of the House Leadership emerged from their natural habitat (a committee meeting, like a very beige safari) to say they’d be transforming America into a global crypto powerhouse.

The ADA/ETH chart’s been sledding downhill since April. By now, the ratio’s wheezing just like it was before election season—back when folks still believed politicians kept promises and crypto never crashed. ETH strutted out of Q2 with a peppy +36%, but ADA? ADA packed its bags, wrote home, and closed a miserable -13%.  

Now, let’s talk numbers, shall we? Behold, the LTC price at a dazzling $88.35! (Don’t be fooled, it’s much higher now—fancy that!) And in case you’re wondering how volatile things have been, let me hit you with a tiny surprise: it’s a meager 1.3% in the last 24 hours. A real rollercoaster, no? 🎢
