纪念比特币白皮书15周年之「考古」：我是如何在2011年获得比特币空投的？

Resumen

在比特币白皮书发布 15 周年之际，我想分享一段私人的「数据考古」旅程。这是关于我如何在 2011 年获得比特币空投的故事，这其中还涉及到了知名的 Mt. Gox 被盗事件。

回顾整个过程，很可能是因为 Mt. Gox 用户被盗 2.5 万 BTC 后，科技媒体增加了对比特币的关注，然后我又在这个过程中关注到了这个事件并创建了第一个比特币钱包。

Google Reader & Dropbox：我的数据宝库

你可能听过很多关于「在某年买了某些比特币，但后来私钥丢了」的故事。但幸运的是，我很喜欢备份和存档数据，所以凭借着之前存档的数据，我把当年第一次创建比特币钱包、领取比特币的过程给还原了出来，甚至我还翻出了一些当时媒体报道的比特币的文章，包括科技媒体、果壳网、CoolShell。

对于一个发生在十多年前的事情，要复原它其实并不是这么简单。毕竟在这十几年中，我的笔记本电脑都换了很多台，就算我有经常备份数据的习惯，也可能会丢失很多数据，甚至连备份介质都不一定可靠（比如硬盘和光盘也都有其寿命）。

纪念比特币白皮书15周年之「考古」：我是如何在2011年获得比特币空投的？

而这次得以恢复数据，主要靠的是 Google Reader 和 Dropbox。Google Reader 是一个 RSS 阅读工具，当时我主要用它订阅一些科技媒体、设计和生活类的博客等。对于优质的内容我经常会用收藏功能，方便之后查阅。后来 Google Reader 在 2013 年 7 月停止运营，不过他们提供了数据导出功能，我就把我所有收藏的内容导出了，然后存在了 Dropbox 中。

之前还没想过这个数据会有什么价值，但是没想到被十多年后翻出来还是能找到一些蛛丝马迹的。

数据挖掘：追溯报道比特币新闻的足迹

我从个人的 Google Reader 存档文件中检索了所有与「BTC」、「比特币」、「Bitcoin」相关的数据，找到了近 10 篇相关的文章，目前仍有 5 篇可以访问。

最早的一篇： 2011 年 6 月 18 日

酷壳 CoolShell 的陈皓（又名左耳朵耗子，也就是今年 5 月意外去世的技术专家，他时常批评比特币）在一篇文章中提及比特币和其分叉项目 Namecoin。

果壳编译发布 WIRED 的文章《比特币兴衰史》。

为何创建比特币钱包

比特币在 2011 年时并没什么交易价值。当时，一些比特币爱好者为了推广和扩大比特币的影响力，创建了各种「水龙头（faucet）」网站，好奇的用户可以通过简单的操作，如填写验证码（抗女巫），免费领取一定数量的比特币（约 0.01 BTC）。

于是我当时也在寻找和浏览了一些水龙头网站后，成功领取了 0.01 BTC。 又因为备份数据的习惯，我也保存了这个比特币钱包的私钥文件至今。

后来当我把这个文件从硬盘中翻出，找出公钥和私钥，并通过区块浏览器搜索后发现，领取水龙头的时间是正好是 2011 年 6 月 18 日，也就是我收藏的那篇《黑客已经开始盗窃 Bitcoin 货币》文章的同一天。

其实 2011 年 6 月是一个很特殊的时间，正好是著名交易所 Mt. Gox 失窃的时间。

On 13 June 2011, the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange reported some BTC 25, 000 (US$ 400, 000 at the time) had been stolen from 478 accounts. (Wikipedia)

包括上面 cnbeta 网站的文章中也提及了这次事件，所以很可能是因为 6 月 13 日的被盗事件让科技媒体增加了对比特币的报道，因此被更多人关注到。而我也因为这个负面事件，最终创建了比特币钱包并领取了比特币「空投」。

结局

虽然持有着这个地址的私钥，但我依然一无所有。哪怕至今持有这 0.01 BTC，也并不算什么。

根据区块浏览器来看，我这个比特币钱包中的 0.01 BTC 在 2013 年 11 月转出了，至于当时为什么要转出，以及转到哪里了，我暂时也没找到确切的线索。但我的确记得当年好像做过什么操作，可能是换钱包，或转去了交易所。

所以这其实是一个悲伤的故事，从 2011 年接触到比特币，到 2017 年再次关注和进入这个行业，已经过去了 6 年的时间。这件事对于我自己的启发是，或许我们现在还能有机会接触或瞥见一些极具潜力的新技术，但它可能真的需要更多的时间，才能被社会接受和理解，而我最适合做的就是继续保持好奇心，加上一点耐心。

Anthropic Cries Wolf: Is the AGI Threat Real, or Just an IPO Story?

Anthropic has published an article titled "When AI builds itself," discussing the emerging concept of "recursive self-improvement," where AI begins to actively participate in designing, training, testing, and optimizing its own subsequent versions. The company presents internal data showing that by May 2026, over 80% of code merged into its codebase was written by Claude, its AI model. Claude's capabilities have expanded to handling complex, open-ended engineering tasks, achieving a 76% success rate in such areas, and even contributing to research processes, such as optimizing code performance and conducting AI safety experiments. Anthropic outlines an evolution from human-driven development to AI-assisted workflows, culminating in the current stage where AI agents can autonomously write, run, and delegate code. The company cautions that the path toward a "closed loop," where AI continuously improves itself, is becoming visible. It calls for coordinated global mechanisms to potentially slow or pause frontier AI development to allow safety research and societal structures to catch up. However, the timing of this warning coincides with Anthropic's preparations for an IPO, framing the narrative not just as a safety concern but also as a demonstration of Claude's advanced capabilities and its integral role in accelerating Anthropic's own R&D—creating a potential "flywheel" effect for competitive advantage. This contrasts with OpenAI's recent, more policy-oriented discussion of the same risks, highlighting the competitive dynamics in the AI industry as companies position themselves in both the technological and regulatory landscape.

Coinbase Targets Crypto Crime, Freezing $3M Linked To Scam Operations

Coinbase froze over $3 million in cryptocurrency linked to Southeast Asian scam networks as part of a multi-agency "Disruption Week" campaign. The operation, coordinated by the DOJ's Scam Center Strike Force, involved companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Starlink, and disrupted over 1.4 million scam accounts. The DOJ noted that investment fraud, including "pig butchering" scams, is among the fastest-growing threats, with crypto-related scams causing billions in losses. This action follows other recent crackdowns targeting scam infrastructure globally. Coinbase highlighted that blockchain provides a permanent transaction record, aiding investigations and countering the narrative that crypto is solely a tool for crime.

BIT Research: ETF Purchases Have Slowed, Strategy (MicroStrategy) Has Slowed, What Else Can Drive Bitcoin's Rise?

Market Refocus on Inflation and Rate Expectations Weighs on Bitcoin Currently, the market is in a phase of macro-repricing dominated by inflation and interest rate expectations. Bitcoin, which previously benefited from easy liquidity and low inflation, is seeing its core bullish drivers weaken. These drivers were market expectations for interest rate cuts and strong inflows from Bitcoin ETFs and institutions like MicroStrategy (referred to as "Strategy" in the text). The logic has shifted. Recent high inflation data (e.g., CPI hitting 3.8% in a May 2026 report) has caused the market to sharply reduce its rate cut expectations for 2025 and even price in potential hikes. This is a key constraint for Bitcoin, as it lacks cash flows and is highly sensitive to rate expectations. Concurrently, institutional capital flows have slowed significantly. Following the hot CPI data, Bitcoin ETFs saw accelerated outflows, with around $4.3 billion leaving over a period. MicroStrategy's ability to keep adding substantial Bitcoin to its balance sheet is also diminishing. Together, ETF and MicroStrategy holdings total roughly $110 billion, but their momentum as growth engines is cooling. In summary, Bitcoin's current pressure stems not from its own fundamentals but from a changing macro environment. As long as inflation stays elevated, Bitcoin is likely to remain in a consolidating phase. However, historically, inflation eventually peaks. Once it recedes and rate cut expectations rebuild, institutional capital could return, potentially fueling a new and more robust recovery phase for Bitcoin.

Earning 1000 Trillion in Half a Year, 'Pocketing' 20 Million per Capita: This Round of Wealth Creation in the Korean Stock Market is Unprecedented in Scale

The South Korean stock market is experiencing an unprecedented wealth surge in 2026, with household equity and fund asset values soaring by over 1,000 trillion KRW (~$730bn) year-to-date. This translates to an average per capita wealth increase of roughly 20 million KRW, fueled by a historic 109% rally in the KOSPI index. The boom is driven by three converging forces: an AI-driven semiconductor supercycle boosting giants like Samsung and SK Hynix; the government's "Value-Up" market reforms addressing long-standing corporate governance issues; and aggressive real estate regulations that have locked capital within financial markets, preventing profits from flowing back into property. This has triggered a wealth effect, boosting high-end consumption significantly. However, the gains are highly concentrated. The two semiconductor behemoths account for over half the index's value, but retail investors own relatively low stakes in them, systematically missing the biggest rallies. Wealth and consumption benefits are skewed towards luxury goods and imported cars, bypassing mainstream retail. Further risks stem from excessive leverage, with high trading volume in leveraged ETFs, and a market sentiment heavily reliant on the AI sector's fortunes and speculative rumors. While this cycle marks a potential shift from real estate to equities as a primary wealth generator for Koreans, its sustainability, amid structural imbalances and leverage, remains a critical test.

Behind ZEC's Over 30% Plunge: An 'Unlimited Minting' Vulnerability with No Way to Prove if It Was Ever Exploited

A critical vulnerability was discovered in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool, allowing for the theoretical creation of undetectable counterfeit ZEC. Researcher Taylor Hornby found the flaw on May 29th, 2024, within the Orchard circuit's cryptographic constraints, which could let an attacker bypass asset conservation rules. Although a rapid emergency fix was deployed within days via a coordinated soft and hard fork, a core uncertainty remains: due to Orchard's privacy features, it is impossible to cryptographically prove whether this "unlimited mint" flaw was exploited in the nearly four years since the pool's 2022 launch. This uncertainty, rather than the patched flaw itself, triggered a market panic, causing ZEC's price to drop over 30%. While the Zcash Foundation stated no evidence of exploitation was found, independent entity Shielded Labs emphasized the impossibility of definitively proving no counterfeit ZEC was ever created. The incident highlights the unique trust challenge in privacy systems. To address this, developers are proposing a new network upgrade with enhanced auditing to allow verifiable proof of supply integrity. Notably, the researcher utilized the newly released AI model Claude Opus 4.8 as a tool during the security review, signaling the growing role of advanced AI in uncovering complex cryptographic vulnerabilities.
