Poetic lines--Muse Grazing

Deep blue with emotions

Your eyes tell mysteries of the oceans.

Vast blue with craving

Your face reflect the glory of heaven.

Down the wild field of your curvaceous

Body, I go for muse grazing.

Up the clear heaven of your vivacious

Face, I look for stargazing.

Bitcoin crashes again as China declares crypto businesses illegal

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) stated that bitcoin, ether and stablecoin tether (USDT) do not qualify as legal tender and cannot be used in the country’s currency market.
