There is nothing backing up crypto. It's pure speculation.

I’m not the one who brought the topic of oil or the word “administration” up. Regarding your suggestion, my wife’s application for citizenship in the UK (well, Northern Ireland) is being reviewed as we speak. Can’t wait to provide my family a path out of here if needed. Sorry to trigger you!

In case you missed it, NI, is part of the UK.
