Coinbase has announced its support for Celo’s migration from a standalone Layer-1 blockchain to an Ethereum Layer-2 network. The transition is set to begin on March 25 with Coinbase temporarily suspending deposits and withdrawals of Celo’s native token, CGLD, during the upgrade.

Genres are broken. Broken, I argue, beyond repair. We need to crumple them up and throw them all away.This Brutal Gothic Metroidvania Is Shaping up To Be Something SpecialGenres always were broken, of course. They are, as with any other form of human-invented categorization, arbitrary. The notion of labeling any specific game as one “type” is inherently nonsensical, all art existing on an infinite spectrum, the boundaries of labels drawn utterly subjectively. That’s been the case forever, and it’s notable that about 15 years ago there were growing calls to abandon genre titles altogether as they felt so needlessly restrictive…
The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an independent agency of the federal government, is reportedly moving to stop using the “reputational risk” category as a way to supervise banks. According to a letter sent by the agency’s acting chairman, Travis Hill, to Rep.

According to the…

Our girl Naoe’s slit a whole lotta throats to get to this point, but it’s finally time to slit the one throat that matters: Oda Nobunaga. Warlord. Bastard. Tea enthusiast, apparently. But also, he’s NEXT.You Should Play Grand Theft Auto III Before GTA VI | Total RecallThat said, as the capper to Act I of the game, things go a little different here. And this is more about getting you in the right place than anything else, which is a little difficult considering Nobunaga’s got Taylor Swift levels of security. But, it’s not impossible, long as you’ve got a plan.…
Is Strategy quietly reshaping how public companies interact with capital markets — and could its $21 billion plan set a precedent for Bitcoin-aligned balance sheet plays?

As of Mar. 25, Strategy has a market capitalization of $87.64 billion, ranking…
