NYT investigation revives Adam Back as Bitcoin’s mysterious creator
The New York Times released a 12,000‑word investigation by journalist John Carreyrou that argues British cryptographer Adam Back is the true Satoshi Nakamoto. The report cites linguistic patterns, libertarian connections, and Back’s Hashcash work but stops short of definitive proof. Back has publicly refuted the claim, calling the parallels coincidental.

Options markets are signaling a bullish reset for XRP and Solana as 25‑delta risk reversals on Deribit turned positive across Oct. 31, Nov. 28 and Dec. 26 expiries, with XRP trading around $2.33 and SOL near $186. By contrast, bitcoin and ether show persistent put bias—puts trading at a premium through multiple tenors—while perpetual futures funding rates for major tokens sit near zero, reflecting neutral leveraged demand. The divergence suggests renewed call buying and speculative confidence in XRP and SOL despite the marketwide caution after roughly $20 billion of liquidations; however, smaller options liquidity for XRP and SOL and neutral perp funding temper the signal’s reliability.

Are you looking to buy any dips at this point in the cycle?
I'm not buying this dip. I have my moon bag ready if November goes parabolic. I'd rather be mostly in stables and go all in like an absolute degen when everything inevitably crashes next year. This is the play.
