Today, in 1991, Timothy Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web for free communication and exchanging ideas. It makes us want to write obvious shit like, "the world would be a different place now without the Internet," and blah, blah, blah. But we're not gonna do that. Let's say thank you to Timothy and everyone involved! Because without them, you and we probably never would have met.

The U.K. is the second nation to access these services after the digital payments behemoth rolled out its crypto suite in the U.S. in October 2020. It offers the same four coins to U.S. customers.

As Decrypto reports, DeFi yield aggregator Luna Yield baited investors with promises of high yields.
