Viral Jack Neel and Jiang Xueqin Podcast Clip Revives Bitcoin Deep State Theory


A viral clip from the Jack Neel Podcast sent a Beijing-based commentator’s CIA-created- Bitcoin theory ricocheting across X, Tiktok, and crypto forums on Wednesday.

Key Takeaways:

A viral clip from Jack Neel Podcast Episode 86 shows Jiang Xueqin claiming the CIA created Bitcoin in 2026.

Jiang’s theory, built on game theory framing, has reached 2.3M YouTube subscribers with zero documentary evidence.

Crypto analysts and rebuttals on Youtube say Bitcoin’s open-source code directly contradicts Jiang’s surveillance thesis.

Predictive History’s Jiang Xueqin Says Bitcoin Is a Deep State Surveillance Tool

The clip, pulled from Episode 86, Part 2 of the Jack Neel Podcast and amplified by several crypto accounts, features Jiang Xueqin, a Chinese-Canadian high school history teacher who runs the Youtube channel Predictive History. The roughly four-minute excerpt centers on Jiang’s claim that Bitcoin was built by the American deep state as a surveillance and black-operations funding tool.

Jiang, who carries the informal online title “Professor” despite holding no university post, frames his case using what he calls game theory. Bitcoin.com News has featured Jiang on several occasions, as some of his predictions, like Trump winning the election and the U.S. going to war with Iran, have come true.

His Bitcoin argument, explained in an interview setting with Neel, follows three questions: who had the technical capacity to build Bitcoin, who benefits from its transparent ledger, and why would anyone build such a system and give it away for free. His answers point to DARPA, the NSA, and the CIA each time.

“When you do game theory analysis, you look at all possibilities, you end up with the deep state,” Jiang says in the clip. “You end up with the CIA.”

Japan has taken a major step toward reshaping its crypto regulatory landscape.
The Cabinet has officially approved a bill that reclassifies cryptocurrencies as financial instruments under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, moving them away from their previous classification as simple payment tools.
This shift marks a significant upgrade in regulatory oversight and brings crypto assets closer to traditional financial markets.
Key changes under the new framework include:
Insider trading rules applied to crypto: Trading based on undisclosed material information will now be prohibited, similar to rules in stock markets.
Mandatory annual disclosures: Crypto issuers will be required to publish regular reports, improving transparency and investor access to project information.
Stronger enforcement against unregistered exchanges: Penalties will be increased to curb illegal or non-compliant operations.
Beyond tighter regulation, the move is widely seen as a signal of growing institutional acceptance of digital assets in Japan. Analysts expect the clearer legal framework could support the development of crypto ETFs in the coming years and attract more institutional capital.
By integrating crypto into its core financial regulations, Japan is positioning the sector as part of a more mature and transparent financial system rather than an unregulated frontier market.

Circle CEO Allaire sees 'tremendous opportunity' for yuan stablecoin: report

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said there’s a “tremendous opportunity” for a yuan-pegged stablecoin, and China could launch one within the next three to five years.

Chinese authorities have explicitly banned the offshore issuance of yuan stablecoins without regulatory approval.


Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said he sees a "tremendous opportunity" for a Chinese yuan stablecoin, particularly if Chinese authorities aim to make the yuan more competitive.

In a Thursday interview with Reuters, Allaire said that stablecoins have emerged as a new way for currencies to gain global traction, potentially supporting China's long-term goal of internationalizing the yuan.

"There's a tremendous opportunity for a yuan stablecoin," Allaire told Reuters. "If there's currency competition, you want your currency to have the best features possible. This is becoming a technological competition."

Allaire added that China could launch a yuan-backed stablecoin within the next three to five years. The Block has reached out to Circle for further comment. 

Allaire's remarks come amid growing chatter about a potential yuan stablecoin. In July 2025, Chinese tech giants Ant Group and JD reportedly urged China's central bank to authorize yuan-backed stablecoins in addition to those pegged to the Hong Kong dollar.

However, Chinese authorities have taken a cautious stance. In February 2026, the People's Bank of China and a group of key regulators issued a notice explicitly prohibiting the offshore issuance of yuan-pegged stablecoins without prior regulatory approval.

"Fiat-pegged stablecoins effectively perform some functions of legal tender in circulation," the Chinese authorities said in the February notice. "Without approval from relevant authorities in accordance with laws and regulations,...

CoW Protocol Price Falls; $COW Releases Statement on Recent Attack

CoW Protocol prices continue to be under pressure over the last 24 hours as the project grappled with fallout from a security incident on April 14. Crypto dropped by nearly 3% to trade at approximately $0.213. Yet that drop was while the global crypto market was on the rise, even as Bitcoin modestly gained.

The divergence illustrates a palpable change in sentiment on the protocol in the wake of the hack. The downturn was set in motion by a front-end attack that attacked the platform’s website. In the last statement release, it was reported that an attacker gained control over the cow.fi domain via DNS hijacking.

This lets the attacker then take users down the path to a malicious interface that had a close match to the original site to redirect them to a similar site. The device had been set up to deceive users into agreeing to approve malicious transactions or revealing sensitive wallet information. Only days after the problem was exposed, the squad put out a public alert.

Users were told to avoid interacting with the platform’s front-end. However, the protocol was also paused as a precautionary measure. The team assured that both the core smart contracts and backend systems were not compromised. Still, the attack carried a significant risk since it attacked the interface that users use to interact with the protocol.

The incident was flagged early by Blockaid, a firm that monitors decentralized applications for suspicious activity. Its detection system identified unusual behavior linked to the cow.fi domain. Shortly after, the protocol confirmed the issue and urged users to stay away until further notice. This quick response helped limit wider damage, even though the event still affected market confidence.

The full proposal is a three-phase plan designed to protect Bitcoin from a threat that has quietly grown more serious: the eventual ability of quantum computers to crack the cryptographic keys protecting early Bitcoin addresses.Satoshi’s Fortune At The Center Of It AllAbout 1.7 million BTC sits in old-style addresses known as P2PK — the kind used in Bitcoin’s earliest days. Those addresses expose public keys directly, making them vulnerable once quantum computing reaches sufficient power.Satoshi Nakamoto’s stash alone is valued at roughly $74 billion at current prices. According to the proposal’s authors, if a bad actor gained quantum access to those coins, the damage to Bitcoin’s value and credibility could be severe. New 3-step strategy targets quantum risk. Source: GithubBIP-361 builds on BIP-360, released in February, which introduced a new quantum-resistant address format called pay-to-Merkle-root, or P2MR. That earlier proposal protects new coins. BIP-361 tackles what BIP-360 left unresolved — the roughly 34% of Bitcoin’s total supply still sitting in vulnerable addresses. The plan unfolds in stages. Three years after activation, sending BTC to old-style addresses would no longer be allowed. Two years after that, old-format signatures would be invalidated entirely.Any coins that
