April Fool’s article? As even the 2 pics inside relate to cryto (bitcoin and NFT).
TTimes not known for quality reporting nor editing.

Well, I imagined it was like a “humans and crypto” similar to apes, as many millennials identify as “apes” online and as a meta reference to such meme projects as BAYC and the multiple copy projects in the metaverse

Kind of obvious that this was an error. They’re using software to generate HTML for the website, and plugged the monkey article text into an article that was supposed to be about the Ronin Bridge DeFi hack.

Eagerly awaiting the “crypto experts” telling everyone what a great idea DeFi is and to buy more shitcoins. Definitely don’t stick to that outdated boomer tech Bitcoin (which actually works and doesn’t get hacked). Remember, kids, crypto is supposed to be EXCITING!
