BnkToTheFuture co-founder and CEO Simon Dixon stated in a Bitcoin Magazine video interview that there are only three scenarios that would make him sell all his Bitcoin and buy gold: if Bitcoin can no longer be held in a self-custodial manner and generate returns, if peer-to-peer payments cannot be completed without a governmental intermediary, and if the fixed supply of 21 million coins is no longer credible. He mentioned that Bitcoin has performed well in these three aspects since 2011, and if any of them are called into question, he would sell immediately.Dixon believes that the real battleground is not whether Bitcoin can be adopted, as the trajectory of institutional adoption is unprecedented, but rather whether custodial institutions, Wall Street-controlled mining companies, and treasury companies will lead the network towards centralization. He pointed out that if everyone hands over their private keys to institutions like BlackRock, Bitcoin will fail.He also discussed the phenomenon of central banks continuously buying gold instead of Bitcoin and emphasized that holding private keys is a form of resistance; investors need to allocate assets outside of the traditional banking system.

According to TechCrunch, the AI simulation platform Plurai has completed a $13 million seed round of financing, led by Team8, with participation from U&I, Velocity, and Mercer.Plurai uses synthetic data from enterprise digital systems for simulation to help agents handle complex edge cases.

After a field visit to the Yuanjing Star River base in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, the American semiconductor research organization SemiAnalysis stated that the construction cost of this Chinese AI data center park may be only one-fifth of similar projects in the United States. The first phase of the Star River base, with a capacity of 120MW, was completed and delivered in less than a year. On August 6 of this year, the infrastructure for the first phase was completed, and the wind power and energy storage company Yuanjing Technology announced that the base officially commenced production. After nearly three months of electromechanical debugging and deployment of computing power equipment, the first phase of the approximately 200MW project was fully delivered to customers by the end of October.The entire park is planned to reach an IT power supply capacity of 800MW by the end of 2027, comparable to the approximately 820MW planned for OpenAI's Stargate Abilene core park, which is expected to reach this scale by the end of 2026. Stargate is a data center construction plan covering multiple states, with an initial goal of implementing 10GW of AI infrastructure capacity in the United States by 2029. In April of this year, OpenAI announced that it had secured over 10GW of planned capacity ahead of schedule, but these data centers have not all been completed and put into operation.Yuanjing Technology integrates power generation, energy storage, power supply, and data center construction, having built two wind farms with a total installed capacity of 420MW and supporting battery storage, aiming for over 60% of the electricity used by the first two phases of the data center to come from its own wind power. In contrast, the American Stargate Abilene park mainly relies on the grid and on-site gas-fired power generation facilities for electricity. Yuanjing has already operated an 800V high-voltage direct current system in a 5MW machine room, directly converting 10kV alternating current into the direct current required for server cabinets. The park also employs a cooling design that does not require central chilled water units, allowing liquid-cooled and air-cooled servers to share a single water circulation system.

According to The Block, when asked about the allegations of conflicts of interest involving himself and his family's businesses, including cryptocurrency operations, U.S. President Trump stated, "Every president has their own issues."When pointed out that no previous U.S. president has owned a cryptocurrency company, Trump responded that past presidents also held significant assets like oil and believed that cryptocurrency is essentially similar to traditional business assets. He also stated that just because he is president, he cannot require his sons to stop running their businesses during his four-year term.

The preliminary investigation report on the security incident released by Binance on October 29 shows that the attack began with a fake recruitment. According to the report, in September, a Binance software engineer was contacted by someone impersonating a project director through a legitimate job platform. After undergoing a fake HR video interview and a fake CEO second interview, the engineer was asked to download a homework code repository on their work computer, which contained a zero-day Trojan that bypassed endpoint protection. The attackers then used the compromised device and an internal AI tool to control the computers of two other wallet engineers, stealing deployment credentials, and ultimately executed a malicious script on October 29 to transfer approximately $6.3 billion. Binance stated that it has frozen or intercepted about $2.85 billion and has compensated 98% of the affected assets.This method is almost identical to the March 2022 theft of the Axie Infinity sidechain Ronin cross-chain bridge. At that time, the North Korean hacker group Lazarus contacted a senior engineer at developer Sky Mavis through LinkedIn for a high-paying position. After several rounds of interviews, they sent an offer file containing a Trojan, which allowed them to control the private keys of the validation nodes, stealing approximately $625 million. The Binance report also noted that this year, 57 suspected cyberattacks related to North Korea have been detected and intercepted, with methods including fake interviews, malware disguised as popular development tools, tampered software packages, and browser plugins, among others.

Cryptocurrency trader Ansem posted that the previous bearish outlook on U.S. stocks was mainly due to the expectation of a pullback in tech stocks, and this trend has begun to manifest. In the recent market adjustment, panic sentiment often quickly reflects in prices, and concentrated selling by investors may lead to prices reaching important support levels faster than expected.Against the backdrop of ongoing uncertainty in AI prospects, geopolitical issues, and the overall market, the market may have priced in more pessimistic expectations than the actual situation. He is currently focusing on price performance near key support levels, believing that as selling pressure eases, market sentiment may quickly shift.

THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford stated that the information held by THORNode operators is publicly available and can be accessed in real-time, so law enforcement does not need to obtain relevant information through subpoenas. He believes this is the ideal situation for investigations.Previously, the FBI, United States Secret Service (USSS), and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS-CI) called on THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchange platforms, and DeFi service providers to intercept transactions related to North Korean TraderTraitor attackers and the funds flowing from these addresses. This request involves the theft of over $6 billion in assets from Binance.

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju posted on platform X that the Coinbase premium has hit a 4-year low. The last time this level occurred was after the FTX collapse in November 2022, when Bitcoin bottomed out; he believes that market sentiment has become pessimistic enough to be bullish.

CZ's post pointed out that on that day, there were 4 reported data breaches involving Coinbase's third-party vendor Amplitude, the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb, and South Korean securities firms Mirae Asset and Daishin Securities. Among them, the breach related to Amplitude did not affect customer funds.CZ stated that the leaked exchange data was primarily used for phishing, SIM card hijacking, social engineering scams, and wrench attacks. He suggested that all platforms use independent email aliases and dedicated backup numbers, refuse to fill out unnecessary personal information, and use strong independent passwords.CZ also recommended enforcing the use of hardware security keys or passkeys, completely disabling SMS 2FA, enabling withdrawal address whitelists, withdrawal time locks, and anti-phishing codes, regularly cleaning API keys and active sessions, and requesting number porting locks from carriers. He also reminded that all customer service contacts that reach out proactively are scammers, and never to click on external links.
