HBO releases Bitcoin documentary, saying it believes Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto

On October 3, documentary director Cullen Hoback and HBO recently announced that the documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" will expose the true identity of "Satoshi Nakamoto", the creator behind Bitcoin, sparking discussion outside.

On October 9, according to market news, the leaked video of the HBO documentary showed that HBO believed that Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd was Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin. HBO put forward 4 major arguments: In 2010, Todd (using a new account) responded to Satoshi's post on the Bitcointalk forum, and HBO claimed that he mistakenly used his account to complete Satoshi's post. Todd later implemented the "Replace by Fee" (RBF) concept discussed in the post. In addition, a document provider claimed that Todd used the pseudonym "John Dillon" to promote RBF, and both used British/Canadian spellings. In addition, Satoshi's posting time pattern coincided with the student's schedule, with more posts on weekends. Todd once discussed "sacrificing" Bitcoin; this may refer to destroying Satoshi's Bitcoin. Related reading: "The biggest mystery in the cryptocurrency world will be revealed this week?

Judge approves FTX bankruptcy plan, "bankruptcy plan" criticized by creditors

On October 8, John Dorsey, a judge of the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, approved the bankruptcy plan of the cryptocurrency trading platform FTX to initiate the process of distributing funds to creditors.

《Who is making money in the infrastructure field with "overcapacity"? ｜Rhythm of Finance》

Although Crypto infrastructure is not directly facing users, it has always occupied an important position in the industry and has become an important pillar of high FDV projects. However, with the emergence of a large number of infrastructure projects, the market has begun to question the actual demand and sustainability of these projects. Taking the oracle field as an example, Chainlink dominates TVS, but its revenue growth has failed to keep up with the increase in user activity, reflecting the impact of ecological fragmentation. Pyth, as an emerging force, has performed well in the Solana ecosystem. Cross-chain interoperability also faces challenges, and the revenue of leading projects such as LayerZero and Axelar has dropped significantly, highlighting the difficult situation of the entire industry in the bear market.

Compared with Solana, the ETH meme coin embodies more idealism and charity-driven characteristics, showing its potential to create a future with the community.

《Fishing enforcement? FBI sets up a currency issuance scheme, accusing multiple market makers of manipulating the market》

《Arthur Hayes: Avoid CEX trap, how can project parties use DEX to counterattack the crypto market》

《How do top meme KOLs make money? Data Inventory of Ansem's "Shipping Behavior"》

On October 5, Andrew Kang of crypto venture capital firm Mechanism Capital mentioned the capital reallocation of Meme coins on social media, sparking a heated discussion between ZachXBT and trading KOL Ansem. ZachXBT accused Ansem of using his influence to promote small-cap currencies, causing losses to investors who blindly followed the trend, saying that his behavior was similar to "cutting leeks." Ansem countered that he was just looking for market opportunities and could not ensure the success of every transaction, but he helped far more people than victims. An analysis of Ansem's tweets shows that the tokens he supports have significant differences in performance, with some tokens performing well while the median return is negative, showing the potential risks of promoting small-cap tokens. Ultimately, the analysis pointed out that the morality of promoting tokens to many followers should be based on long-term commitment to the project, rather than simply the size of the market value.

《Ethereum throughput will increase by 50%? A quick look at the community's new proposal EIP-7781》

The Ethereum community recently proposed a new improvement proposal EIP-7781, which aims to increase network throughput by shortening block generation time (from 12 seconds to 8 seconds) and increasing data processing capacity, which is expected to increase by 50%. The proposer of the proposal, Ben Adams, and Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake both said that this move will significantly improve network performance, reduce Layer 2 network fees, and also help balance peak loads. However, shortening the slot time may increase the risk of network centralization, especially the increased hardware and bandwidth requirements, which may pose challenges to individual stakers. Despite this, supporters believe that this proposal can promote the long-term development of Ethereum, improve the efficiency of the core network, and lay the foundation for future expansion.

《1,200 crypto projects that raised seed rounds 2 years ago, what is their current status? 》

Since 2022, cryptocurrency seed-stage projects have performed well in fundraising, with more than 1,200 companies raising $5 billion, a 2.5-fold increase in funding over the previous year.

Infrastructure and CeFi projects have performed particularly well, attracting large investments and mainnet product delivery rates, while consumer applications and DeFi projects face greater risks. Overall, industry investment is returning to more mature tracks, and project success rates vary by ecosystem.

FTX will use up to $16.5 billion in recovered assets to repay creditors, and it is expected that 98% of users will receive compensation within 60 days, but the specific effective date has not been determined and may be extended to 2025. The compensation standard is based on the dollar value at the time of bankruptcy in 2022, rather than the current value of the cryptocurrency, which has caused dissatisfaction among some creditors, who believe that compensation should be paid in kind. In addition, the market is looking forward to whether the funds will flow back to drive the market up, but the proportion of claims sold is high, and the return of funds is limited.

Recently, overseas KOL Glenn Hodl gave his own analysis of Microstrategy's strong performance.

《In-depth study of the differences in user value of major public chains: Ethereum addresses hold an average of more than $3,500, and there are no whales on TON?》

With the rise of small games in the Telegram ecosystem, the number of users in the crypto field has surged, but the discussion of user value is still ignored. Although Ethereum has only 400,000 to 500,000 daily active users, its market value is the second largest public chain, while TON, with more than 2 million daily active users, ranks tenth. This has triggered deep thinking about the user value of different public chains. By analyzing the user holdings and transaction volumes of multiple popular public chains (such as Ethereum, Solana, TON, etc.), this article finds that Ethereum is far ahead in user holdings and single transaction size, indicating that it has attracted more high-value users; while users of Solana and other public chains prefer small transactions and MEME coins. In general, there are significant differences in user value and characteristics among the public chains, and TON's performance shows a disconnect between it and the popularity of Telegram games.

《Polymarket: Positioning, expansion and shadow of the crypto prediction market》

Polymarket is the largest 2024 US election prediction market, with users betting nearly $1.5 billion cumulatively, far exceeding its Web2 competitors. Prediction markets in a narrow sense focus on information discovery and public decision-making rather than traditional gambling. The introduction of cryptocurrencies has brought a freer trading and payment experience, and Polymarket's users also show that they are older and more concerned about information analysis. Polymarket's success is not only due to its high-quality user experience and transparent mechanism, but is also closely related to the rise of hot events such as global elections. However, after the November election, market liquidity may drop significantly, which will affect its future development. In the face of competition and challenges, Polymarket needs to carefully formulate subsequent strategies to maintain its market position.
