#wato Sebastian Gorka gives the same arrogant, sneering, insulting, aggressive non response to every question in every interview. Please, BBC, don't invite him ever again.

Brilliant interview by Sarah Montague with the single rudest and most arrogant of men Sebastian Gorka. First class journalism against all the odds. #wato

Just listened to @SebGorka on @BBCNews #bbcwato - talking to @Sarah_Montague - he has to be the most arrogant, ignorant bully I have yet heard! The complete absence of humanity as he dismisses the lives of those in #gaza was staggering.

In the last hour, #crypto market saw over $460 million in long positions liquidated following an 8% drop in #Bitcoin price, spurred by rumors of a possible SEC delay in spot #BitcoinETF approval. CoinGlass data reveals long traders on major centralized exchanges incurred about $462 million in losses. In 24 hours, 172,626 traders faced liquidations, with total long liquidations reaching $557 million, and shorts at approximately $58 million. OKX experienced the bulk of these liquidations, over $230 million, followed by Binance with $105 million, and Huobi at around $74 million. This surge in liquidations occurred as Bitcoin plunged to around $40,000, amid reports from Matrixport suggesting the SEC might reject spot Bitcoin ETF applications soon.

7/10 A scenario of mass customer withdrawals from the main Binance platform would deflate this artificial @Bitcoin price support “and then we’re likely to see the price fall below USD20,000/BTC” and possibly as far as USD10,000/BTC, she says.
