📊 The New York Times reported that Adam Back may be Satoshi Nakamoto based on circumstantial evidence, including Hashcash’s citation in the Bitcoin white paper and early electronic cash proposals from 1997 to 1999. Linguistic similarities and his silence during 2008 to 2011 were noted, with large-scale text analysis ranking him highly; however, stylometric results were inconclusive and no direct evidence exists. Back denies the claim as coincidence and declined to provide key email metadata. link

📊 The Week On-Chain 14, 2026
Bouncing in a Bear

Bitcoin bounced from $67k to $72k, but weak spot demand and softer futures activity suggest the recovery still lacks strong conviction, even as ETF flows begin to turn modestly positive.

Executive Summary
- Bitcoin remains within a subdued and low-conviction market environment, with weak spot activity and thinner derivatives participation continuing to limit upside follow-through.

- Spot volume remains soft, with Binance’s 30-day relative volume still sitting below the 1.0 baseline, highlighting a lack of strong organic demand beneath the recent stabilization in price.

- Futures volume has contracted sharply, with the 30-day average rolling over and trending lower, reinforcing the view that traders are stepping back rather than aggressively re-engaging after the recent deleveraging event. #etf

🤔 FOMC minutes for March indicate that inflation may take longer than expected to return to the 2% target, with risks skewed to the upside. Middle East-driven oil price increases add to inflation pressures and economic uncertainty. Participants increasingly supported a “two-sided” policy approach, signaling that rate hikes remain possible if inflation stays elevated, while rate cuts could be warranted if economic or labor conditions weaken, with some pushing back the expected timing of cuts. #macro link
