When Dujduan Ketsaro wed two men in a single ceremony in northeastern Thailand on Saturday, she was ready for the attention. “Marry one and the world won’t remember,” the 37-year-old former singer-songwriter quipped to a guest. “Marry two at once and they will.” The three-way wedding, reported by Thai newspaper Khaosod, brought together Dujduan and two Austrian partners: Roman, a retired police officer she had lived with for five years and Macky, a police officer and Roman’s best friend who had come to Thailand on holiday.

The ceremony, held in Prakhon Chai district of Buriram province, was simple. All three received spiritual blessings and took part in a wrist-tying ritual.

At a time when market leader Bitcoin (BTC +1.95%) is down nearly 30% for the year, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find any winners in the crypto market right now.

At a time when market leader Bitcoin (BTC +1.95%) is down nearly 30% for the year, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find any winners in the crypto market right now. But one pocket of strength remains in the crypto market: stablecoins pegged 1:1 to the price of physical gold. For the year, PAX Gold (PAXG 1.41%) is up 18%, mirroring the performance of physical gold. As gold goes, so goes PAX Gold. Considering all the geopolitical turmoil in the world right now, combined with all the new uncertainty over global tariffs, I can't think of a better cryptocurrency to buy right now with $500. PAX Gold vs. Bitcoin It's important to note that there are various ways to get your gold exposure today. You could, for example, buy a physical gold bar and store it in a home vault. You could buy a gold ETF in your brokerage account for indirect exposure to gold. Or, you could buy "digital gold." Until recently, that meant buying Bitcoin, which has been characterized as "digital gold" for years now. Even Fed Chair Jerome Powell has referred to Bitcoin as a type of gold that is both "virtual" and "digital." However, given the recent poor performance of Bitcoin, investors are searching for other ways to get their gold exposure. That's where PAX Gold comes into the picture. PAX Gold is "tokenized gold," which is gold in the form of a crypto token. It is a cryptocurrency fully backed by physical gold held in a London gold vault. At any point, you can exchange your crypto token for physical gold, no questions asked. So, by holding PAX Gold, you have direct ownership rights to physical gold.

女子亞洲盃｜中國2比0挫孟加拉 衛冕首擊旗開得勝 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】亞洲盃女子足球賽B組，中國以2比0擊敗孟加拉，衛冕之旅旗開得勝。 白衫中國幾乎先失守，幸好門將陳晨及時回身，托走R查瑪的笠射。王霜24分鐘接應傳中頂入孟加拉大門，經VAR覆核有隊友在越位位置走回來，干擾了孟加拉防守，入球作廢。王霜44分鐘都成功為中國開紀錄，見門將失位就果斷笠向遠柱入網。中國圍攻，37歲老將張睿遠射，孟加拉守衛先後漏踢，上半場補時拉開到2比0。換邊後有威脅的攻勢相對就沒有那麼多，邵子欽單刀射中柱，明顯越位在先，就算入了都沒用。中國結果贏2比0，星期五會鬥烏茲別克。

The capital market is likely to be a battleground between traditional businesses and artificial intelligence start-ups, as tech investors expect both to survive AI-driven disruption through mergers and acquisitions (M&As). The outlook follows the launch of new agentic products by start-ups like Anthropic, which pushed investors to view AI as a potential replacement for the business models of established industry leaders, triggering an “AI scare trade” in January in listed software, wealth management, property and insurance firms. A report from Citrini Research in late February extended those fears to the coding and digital payment sectors. The disruptions, however, are expected to spur deal making to accelerate automation, especially in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) industry. The sector logged US$1.2 trillion of M&A deals in 2021, accounting for more than 82 per cent of total tech transactions, before dropping to US$788 billion for a 69 per cent share last year, data from Dealogic showed. Advertisement “The software giants will definitely proactively seek M&As,” said Henry Zhang, president and managing director of Hermitage Capital, a private-equity firm managing US$1.5 billion worth of assets. “Self-iterating niche agents will revolutionise the traditional software industries.” M&A deals in the software-as-a-service sector dropped to US$788 billion last year, from US$1.2 trillion in 2021, according to Dealogic.

SaaS companies that failed to incorporate AI fast enough were now prime acquisition targets for AI start-ups looking to buy existing user bases, said Dermot McGrath, CEO of Shanghai-based venture capital firm ZenGen Labs, pointing out that it was a do-or-die moment for the legacy firms.
