Zhao Changpeng talks about his prison experience: serving time brought fear and pressure, and he will publish a new book to recount his life in confinement

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao admitted in an interview with Rug Radio that his four-month imprisonment in the U.S. was "extremely difficult" and "terrifying," and he stated that he "would not wish that experience on anyone." However, this experience also made him realize the importance of health and family.He recalled that when he first entered prison, facing tattooed, loud, and large inmates, he felt a strong sense of unease and fear. His cellmate had been sentenced to 30 years for double murder, but the two got along relatively well. Due to his non-U.S. citizen status, he was unable to enter a minimum-security prison and was sent to a low-security facility.Despite being the founder of Binance and having a billion-dollar fortune, his fellow inmates did not treat him differently. Zhao stated that many of his fellow inmates were very friendly, and he still keeps in touch with several of them.For him, the hardest part was the mental pressure—worrying that his sentence might be suddenly extended. He pointed out that many friends in prison faced similar fates.This experience led him to reevaluate life, stating, "Health is the most important, followed by family, then work and other things." Zhao also revealed that he will publish a new book detailing his experiences during his imprisonment.

Bitfinex: If BTC holds the key support level of $95,000, the bullish structure is expected to continue

ChainCatcher news, Bitfinex released a report indicating that Bitcoin surged strongly in April, rising by 14.08%. This not only surpassed its historical average performance for April but also successfully reversed the deep correction trend seen at the beginning of the month. From the April low of $74,501, it rebounded to nearly $98,000, with an increase of over 32%, showcasing its resilience amid macroeconomic turmoil and shifts in risk sentiment.The $95,000 level for Bitcoin, which was the lower bound of a three-month consolidation, has become a key technical support level. If it can hold this level, especially with the current price consistently above the short-term holder cost basis ($93,340), it may lay the foundation for a return to historical highs.On-chain data also supports this trend: miner reserves remain stable, and the Puell Multiple indicator shows a lack of incentive for large-scale miner sell-offs, reflecting their confidence in future price increases. Although the short-term trend still depends on whether Bitcoin can convert this technical rebound into solid support, the overall structural signals remain bullish. Once the macro environment stabilizes, it is expected to continue the current bull market cycle.It is reported that the Puell Multiple indicator measures whether miners' daily earnings are high or low compared to the average level over the past year.
