El Salvador's crypto paradise hits a snag as Bitcoin core developer Jon Atack gets cuffed over a domestic dispute. No hard forks were harmed in the making of this drama.

Law enforcement sources confirm the incident involved 'personal differences' with a neighbor. No blockchain activity was disrupted during the altercation.
Meanwhile, Salvadoran officials maintain their pro-Bitcoin stance—because when your national treasury's riding on volatile assets, what's one more gamble?
