It appears North Korean revolutionaries Cheollima Civil Defense (CCD) are indeed selling their “post-liberation blockchain visas.” More than 60 have been distributed so far – and now, there’s even a black market for the Ethereum-based visas. The CCD (also known as “Free Joseon”) is a crew of dissidents intent on overthrowing their dictator, Kim Jong-un. In order to raise funds for the coup, it’s selling 200,000 tokenized visas (G-VISAs) via the Ethereum blockchain, with each one said to allow holders entry to North Korea once it’s been “liberated.” CCD officially began the sale this morning.

Welcome to CHEAP, our brand-new series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! Ohhh damn – you can now get a Bose SoundTouch 20 speaker for $279.95! That’s $70 less than normal! Hurry up and fill your life with music! In previous CHEAP posts, we’ve covered some popular portable Bluetooth speakers (which are great by the way), but these type of devices aren’t for everyone.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Nintendo is working on two variants of its popular Switch game console, and aims to unveil them this summer. According to the outlet’s sources who have used both devices, they’re apparently not just ‘Lite’ and ‘Pro’ versions of the existing Switch, but are more varied than that. The pricier of the two is expected to come with ‘enhanced features targeted at avid videogamers,’ but it’s not going to be as powerful as Sony’s PS4 Pro or Microsoft’s XBox One X.
