NYT investigation revives Adam Back as possible Bitcoin creator
The New York Times ran a 12,000‑word investigation suggesting British cryptographer Adam Back authored Bitcoin, citing linguistic quirks, libertarian ties and his Hashcash background, but offered no definitive proof. Back has publicly refuted the claim, calling the parallels coincidental. The report follows a pattern of past misidentifications of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Crypto’s weekend rebound showed signs of durability on Monday even as Bitcoin’s intraday rally faded — BTC traded around $111,000 and Ether slipped below $4,000 while XRP, Chainlink and privacy token Zcash (up 17%) led gains. Arca said the move looks like a structural reset rather than a short‑lived “dead‑cat” bounce, citing a ~15% week‑over‑week rise in exchange volumes, rebuilding open interest in decentralized perpetuals, returning liquidity and easing U.S. regional banking stress. The recovery has lifted digital-asset stocks (miners up as much as ~10%) and suggests market functioning is normalizing, which could underpin further risk-on flows if macro pressure continues to abate.

The recent #Altcoin crash had nothing to do with the #Altcoins themselves. It was an exploit on a trading mechanism in Binance. Nothing to worry. Just like the COVID-19 crash. Up only.
very cool fastlane on L1. you can now send transactions in milliseconds on ethereum using preconfirmations. send eth in less than a second on L1. costs gas plus a small additional fee.
