失约于夜光

#数字资产法案 2025年，数字货币领域迎来历史性时刻——比特币创始人中本聪的真实身份或将揭晓。但更令全球震惊的是，这位神秘人物并非他人，而是Web3网络创始人尼古拉斯·科卡利斯。这一消息在区块链行业掀起巨浪，关于他是否为中本聪的争论达到顶峰。
一、身份之谜与创世证据
在新加坡国际区块链峰会上，尼古拉斯·科卡利斯登上讲台，面对全球开发者、投资者、监管者及媒体，平静地抛出一系列证据：
技术铁证
一个自2010年起便休眠的比特币创世钱包被激活，其签名与尼古拉斯的密钥完美匹配。
早期比特币代码中隐藏的唯一开发者标识符，经密码学验证与尼古拉斯的编码习惯一致。
贯穿中本聪化名与尼古拉斯真实身份的密码学线索链，被多位区块链安全专家证实为“数学上的必然”。
文献佐证：
尘封的比特币白皮书初稿曝光，其中对去中心化网络的构思与尼古拉斯后续的Web3理念一脉相承。
开发日志显示，2008年比特币核心代码提交者与2019年Web3网络架构师存在思维模式的惊人连续性。
尽管初闻消息时，部分人质疑这是“本世纪最大骗局”。
二、从比特币到Web3：理想主义的进化
隐藏身份的16年，是为实现一场“静默的技术革命”：
比特币的局限与突破：
他目睹比特币因能源密集型POW机制逐渐背离“人人可参与”的初衷，算力垄断趋势令其担忧。
为延续中本聪“赋予个体经济主权”的愿景，他悄然启动“第二代区块链计划”，旨在构建一个无需专业矿机、仅凭智能手机即可参与的生态。

#空投防骗手册 (Key Events to Watch in the Crypto Market in the Coming Weeks)
The recent trends in the crypto market are dominated by external factors, especially macroeconomics, policies, and the performance of the US stock market. Below are the key events that may impact the market in the coming weeks, analyzed in three parts:

1. Macroeconomic Data (Focus on the US)
1. March PCE Data (April 30) - The inflation indicator most valued by the Federal Reserve. If core PCE exceeds expectations, it may strengthen rate hike expectations, putting downward pressure on the market; conversely, if it falls short, it may alleviate pressure.
2. April Non-Farm Payroll Data (May 2) - Reflects the initial impact of Trump's tariff policy. Strong employment may boost the dollar, while weak data could exacerbate market volatility. Current expectations are leaning towards conservatism.
3. FOMC Meeting (May 7) - Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged, but Powell's statements are key. The market is focused on his interpretations of inflation and the economy, especially the policy signals after the tariff war.
4. April CPI Data (May 13) - The tariff war may lead to rising prices for goods, but panic buying could distort the data in the short term, requiring a comprehensive judgment with other indicators.
5. April Retail Sales Data (May 15) - Changes in consumer behavior may affect the data. If it contradicts employment and CPI data, it may lead to market divergences. Note: Economic data from countries like China and Japan should also be moderately monitored, but the market is more focused on how US policies and data guide the Federal Reserve's decisions.
2. US Earnings Season (Impact on Risk Sentiment)
- Tech giants like Tesla, Google, Microsoft, and Apple will successively announce their Q1 earnings reports (April 22 - May 1).
- If performance or outlook falls short of expectations, it may drag down US stocks and transmit to the crypto market, especially paying attention to companies' statements on tariff costs.
3. Policy and Regulatory Dynamics
1. New SEC Chairman Takes Office - Trump's nominee Paul Atkins is seen as more friendly to cryptocurrencies, which may promote a more lenient regulatory environment.
2. SEC Crypto Roundtable - April 25 (custody issues), May 12 (asset tokenization), June 6 (DeFi), the discussion direction may indicate future regulatory priorities.
3. Stablecoin Legislation Process - The US plans to complete legislation before August, aiming to strengthen the dollar's dominance. If implemented, it may benefit compliant stablecoins and related ecosystems.

#空投操作全指南 Bitcoin Real-time News Dispatch: Price Fluctuations Intertwined with Policies and Institutional Dynamics
Updated April 28, 2025
1. Price Dynamics: Short Sellers Pressure, Bitcoin Falls Below $94,000
Today, the price of Bitcoin has retreated to around $93,000, facing challenges from short selling pressure. In the past 24 hours, the number of liquidations across the cryptocurrency market has exceeded 100,000, with liquidation amounts reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite Bitcoin rebounding from a low of $77,000 on April 7 to the $95,000 range, market sentiment remains affected by macroeconomic and policy uncertainties.
2. Key Policy Developments: Arizona Bitcoin Reserve Bill May Vote Today
Two Bitcoin reserve bills in Arizona are set for a final vote today. If passed, they will become the first state-level Bitcoin reserve bills in the U.S., potentially driving further institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
3. Institutional and Product Trends
- Cboe Launches New Bitcoin Futures: The Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe), in collaboration with FTSE Russell, has launched a new Bitcoin futures product today, cash-settled and based on the XBTF index, which may provide institutions with more flexible risk hedging tools.
- Saylor Accumulation Rumors: Market rumors suggest that MicroStrategy may increase its Bitcoin holdings today. Although not officially confirmed, historical data shows that similar news has previously triggered short-term price fluctuations. Current on-chain data indicates that 62% of holders are in profit, with limited selling pressure.

A sharp drop in BTC at $BTC is inevitable
The recent rise in smaller cycles is also in line with expectations
I have always emphasized that before a bull market arrives, BTC will experience a significant drop, and this drop will be exceptionally crazy, with ETH directly hitting triple digits, and BTC will reach new lows. Many people do not believe this, thinking that I have been bearish, and they ask, isn't this a bull market now? Is it really a bull market now? Clearly not. Why?
1. Have you ever seen a bull market where only BTC rises and no other coins do? Look at BTC rising from 74000 to 95000, an increase of 21000 USD, while other altcoins have only risen by a few points. In November last year, during that wave of increase, countless altcoins multiplied several times, and now altcoins have only risen by a few points, and this is considered a bull market?
2. Have you noticed that there have been frequent good news lately, tax tariffs have been loosened, the Federal Reserve is going to cut interest rates, etc.? Why is this good news being released while BTC is at a high? Isn't this just a way to get people to take over? Do you remember what news was around when BTC was near 74000? Trump was going to increase tariffs globally, then the delay of 90 days on tariffs was fake news, Powell's speech was ambiguous, the U.S. stock market plummeted, etc. Why was everything negative around 74000 and not positive?
3. From 74000 to 95000, this round of increase did not have significant adjustments; it basically went straight up. Under the condition that the Federal Reserve is not cutting interest rates and Japan is about to raise rates, this big wave was entirely manipulated by the market makers. With no increase in market liquidity, they desperately pushed the price up. This is clearly wrong; with so many trapped positions above, pushing it up to get those trapped to sell, and then taking all retail investors along for the ride? This is clearly not the main goal of the market makers. The purpose of pushing up is to trap more people, preparing for a subsequent big drop.

A major drop in BTC at #阿布扎比稳定币 is inevitable
The short-term rise is also in line with expectations
I have emphasized before that there will be a significant drop in BTC before the bull market arrives, and this drop will be exceptionally crazy. ETH will directly drop to three digits, and BTC will reach new lows. Many people do not believe this, thinking I am always bearish, and they ask if this is not a bull market now? Is this really a bull market?
1. Have you ever seen a bull market where only BTC rises and other coins do not? Look at BTC rising from 74000 to 95000, an increase of 21000 USD, while other altcoins only rose a few points. In last November's wave of increases, countless altcoins multiplied several times, and now altcoins have only risen a few points. Is this a bull market?
2. Have you noticed that there have been frequent good news recently, such as tax cuts and the Federal Reserve planning to lower interest rates, etc.? Why are these positive news released at BTC's high? Isn’t this just telling people to take the bait? Do you remember what news was around when BTC was near 74000? Trump was going to increase tariffs globally, then the 90-day tariff delay was fake news, Powell's speeches were ambiguous, the U.S. stock market crashed, etc. Why was there all negative news around 74000 instead of positive news?
3. From 74000 to 95000, this round of increase did not have a significant correction, it basically went up in one breath. With the Federal Reserve not lowering interest rates and Japan about to raise interest rates, pulling such a big wave is completely manipulated by the market makers. In a situation where the market did not increase liquidity, desperately pushing up the price is clearly wrong. With so many trapped positions above, pulling it up is to let those trapped sell, then take all retail investors up together? This is clearly not the main purpose of the market makers; the purpose of pulling it up is to trap more people, preparing for a subsequent major drop.

3. The rise from 74000 to 95000 had no significant pullbacks; it was basically a straight rise.

#空投发现指南 Family, the crypto world is once again welcoming a big scoop! Sun Yuchen is about to meet Eric Trump. As soon as the news broke, it instantly stirred up waves in the crypto community and on social media, with the heat continuing to soar 🔥.
First, let me explain for those who are not very familiar. Eric Trump, as the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, has made significant achievements in the business field, holding a vast amount of resources and connections. Moreover, he is exceptionally active in Trump's political activities, participating in campaigns and his influence cannot be underestimated.
Now let's look at Sun Yuchen, who is a well-known figure in the crypto world. Previously, any post he made on social media could spark intense discussions in the community, just like when he posted with the South Korean flag, which directly triggered rumors of a connection between HTX DAO and South Korean exchanges. Last month, Sun Yuchen even splashed out $30 million to invest in the Trump family's cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), becoming an important investor in the project. With the investment made, a meeting follows, and the story behind this is truly intriguing.
During this meeting, everyone has started to speculate. Some believe it is to promote the WLFI project further; after all, with such a significant investment, there must be in-depth discussions on operational direction and market strategy. Others think Eric Trump has a strong interest in cryptocurrency, having expressed his love for cryptocurrency/DeFi in posts, perhaps wanting to leverage Sun Yuchen's experience and resources in the crypto space to explore new territories.

Last night, Bitcoin broke through $93,000, but at that time, there wasn't any good news in the market. Looking back, it was indeed another case of smart money making a move. This morning, it was reported that a financial services company led by Howard Lutnick's son, Brandon Lutnick, is collaborating with SoftBank, Tether, and the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex to form a Bitcoin investment consortium worth over $3 billion. (Dad needs to avoid suspicion, but the son doesn't have to)
This consortium will absorb billions of dollars in cryptocurrency assets held by partners, following the successful path of Strategy (MSTR.O) — this software company transformed into a cryptocurrency investment firm currently holds Bitcoin worth hundreds of billions of dollars, with a market capitalization that has soared to $91 billion.
