Their own admins pulled the plug, on purpose, because of two critical bugs in PHP nicknamed PHP2Shell. This one hit close to home for me.

Binance lists gold and Nvidia next to Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid traders long oil on a Sunday night. So, let’s break down what the word covers, how the products…
