Yes, you heard that right. Three hundred and fourteen thousand dollars. For one Pi. Because, you know, math. 3.14159. Get it? Hilarious. 🥧

Our resident on-chain binocular-wielder, Ali, chimed in with this little nugget, which frankly sounds like the plot of an Ocean’s Eleven spin-off, but with more memes and zero George Clooney:

As an analyst, I’m observing that data from both CryptoMoon Markets Pro and TradingView indicates a potential increase in Bitcoin prices, as suggested by the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Rector’s analysis is based on some very “conservative” assumptions, which is just a fancy way of saying, “I’m not ready to bet my life savings on this.” He’s banking on XRP ETFs pulling in between $4 billion and $8 billion in their first year. But let’s be real, even if they only manage to snag $4 billion, that could still lead to a market cap explosion that would make fireworks look like a sparkler. 🎆

Despite securing a spot on platforms that are so prominent they could practically be considered landmarks, both tokens have made sharp corrections akin to a cowpoke on a bucking bronco. This raises a question as tricky as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs: can new launches survive in a market more crowded than a Sunday church?

Santiment, the ever-watchful market platform, reports a surge in trader optimism. Blockchain data whispers of big players like Michael Saylor’s Strategy gobbling up Bitcoin like it’s a Black Friday sale. Fewer coins on exchanges? Investors are hoarding them like squirrels preparing for winter. And with most holders now in profit, the pressure to sell has eased, giving Bitcoin a comfy cushion. 🐿️

Many are convinced this wasn’t just a case of the market having a bad hair day. Instead, whispers of a meticulously planned “pump-and-dump” scheme involving market makers and centralized exchanges (CEXs) are doing the rounds. 🕵️‍♂️

Reports (delivered on X, the digital watering hole for excitable speculators and the odd incognito peer of the realm) allege that as Mantra’s OM token began its descent—if one can call a nosedive from the Alps a “descent”—no fewer than 17 wallets deposited a staggering 43.6 million OM, a sum approaching $227 million. That’s 4.5% of all OM, or as the Matron at Matchet House might say, “rather a lot for a rainy afternoon.”

The platform, known for its “temporary” disruptions (which is just a fancy way of saying “we’re working on it, maybe”), has promised that the team is on the case. “Our technical team is urgently working on a fix, and the recovery time will be announced separately,” they said. Translation: “We have no idea when this will be fixed, but we’ll let you know when we do. Maybe.”

The guest list reads like a who’s who of the crypto circus: Justin Sun, the Tron maestro; Xinxi Wang, the Litecoin whisperer; Stephen Lutz, the BitMEX enigma; and Ivan Chebeskov, the Russian deputy finance minister who probably has a secret crypto wallet hidden in his fur hat. Truly, a gathering of minds that could make even Dostoevsky raise an eyebrow.
