Fact for the week:

🎤 Taylor Swift made headlines over the past weekend by showing up in Kansas City to support her (allegedly) new boyfriend, Chiefs player Travis Kelce. It's intriguing why this came as a shock to many; in fact, Swift has graced more football stadiums this year (17 to be exact) than Kelce will, even if the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl (a maximum of 12). The reason it’s known to everyone, the “Eras Tour” has taken Taylor to the biggest stadiums in the world in 2023, having already achieved an impressive $1 billion in sales. 🏟️

JPMorgan's British arm, Chase, has decided that from October 16th, crypto transactions are off the table, thanks to a spike in crypto scams targeting its clients. The bank's spokesperson explained that they’re noticing more shady crypto frauds aimed at UK folks, hence, buying crypto with a Chase debit card or sending funds to a crypto site won’t be possible anymore. Well, it's very strange that to combat fraud, limits are imposed on individuals' freedom, but this is the new world of monetary surveillance. 👁️
