👻 Beijing lecturer Jiang Xueqin stated that the CIA or DARPA could have been behind the creation of Bitcoin — according to him, the development of Bitcoin required too many resources, cryptography, and years of work to be the work of one person, and the very fact that the technology was released for free and its author disappeared, more closely resembles a state experiment than an ordinary IT project.

He also claims that blockchain could have emerged in the same environment as the internet or GPS, and Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity only strengthens suspicions.

However, most experts consider the theory dubious: the Bitcoin network operates on tens of thousands of independent nodes around the world, and its code has been developing openly and publicly for 17 years.

🇰🇬 Following several visits by Changpeng Zhao, Kyrgyzstan is preparing to welcome Justin Sun. Against the backdrop of cryptocurrency laws passed in 2022, the country is suddenly becoming a new magnet for crypto billionaires and major blockchain companies.

If the interest from such figures continues, Kyrgyzstan could become for Central Asia what Dubai has become for the Middle East—a destination for people to launch crypto projects, attract investment, and build a new digital economy.

🇷🇺 Over 190 000 illegal miners were counted in Russia against only 5 500 legal ones — authorities want to tighten control, but at the same time legalize mining in regions with surplus energy to collect taxes.

🌏 The Global Uncertainty Index has updated its historical maximum, surpassing the levels of COVID-19 times, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and the dot-com crash.

Unlike past crises with a single key cause, pressure is now being created by a set of factors simultaneously — geopolitics, economics, and technological shifts.

This makes the situation less predictable and more difficult for markets and businesses.

🇰🇷 South Korea's tax service ordered the development of a system for tracking crypto transactions, including analysis of non-custodial wallets and connections between addresses — launch is planned for this year.

However, it remains unclear how exactly they will "de-anonymize" such wallets in practice — likely through blockchain analytics and matching data from exchanges, which raises questions about accuracy.

🇺🇿 President of Uzbekistan approved the creation of the first mining zone, Besqala Mining Valley, with tax incentives and cheap energy — essentially, the country is trying to centrally attract miners, and this could set a new vector for industry migration.
