๐๐ป Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park has always been a cherished tradition for my daughter and me. Ever since she was a tiny baby, we've made it a magical annual hashtag#pilgrimage. No amount of wealth could ever replace the priceless joy we experience together under the twinkling lights and festive cheer. โ๏ธ๐ก
๐๐ป This week's mind-boggler isn't Bitcoin hitting six figures. Nope, it's the crypto entrepreneurย H.E. Justin Sun who bought ahashtag#banana duct-taped to a wall, a 'masterpiece' by Maurizio Cattelan, fetching a staggering $6.2 million. Is the art world officially insane, or has money completely lost its meaning? You decide! ๐๐ธ
