Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, stated on the X platform that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not adopt forced approaches similar to those used by American politicians with 'omnibus bills.' This is also a key reason for his opposition to BIP-110 and BIP-54. Several issues under discussion lack actual urgency: for instance, the 'Timewarp attack' has existed for a long time but does not provide substantial benefits to miners; block validation efficiency has significantly improved due to libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades, making protocol layer adjustments unnecessary; and the 'forgery of confirmed transactions' fundamentally relies on breaking the double SHA256 collision, which, if successful, would mean that Bitcoin's core security has been compromised. Wang Chun added that the aforementioned issues are insufficient to drive protocol modifications, and currently, only the 'duplicate transactions' issue holds some repair value, potentially being one of the few changes worth implementing.

The People's Court of Qinzou District, Tianshui, Gansu Province, recently tried a criminal case involving virtual currency, where the defendant, aware that the funds were obtained through fraud, repeatedly withdrew over 390,000 yuan within seven days in areas without surveillance, while working as a 'high-paying errand runner.' The defendant then converted the funds into virtual currency and transferred them to an upper-level accomplice, earning a profit of 21,500 yuan. The court found the defendant guilty of concealing and disguising criminal proceeds, sentencing them to two years and four months in prison, imposing a fine of 10,000 yuan, and ordering the return of the illegal gains. The judge warned that offline cash withdrawals have become a critical step in laundering proceeds from telecom fraud, and activities like 'errand cash withdrawals' and 'high-paying daily settlements' are often part of the fraud chain. The public should be vigilant against cash collection, money transfers, and assisting in fund transfers to avoid becoming accomplices in crime.

According to on-chain data from Glassnode, in the first quarter of 2026, Bitcoin holders categorized as 'sharks' (holding 100–1,000 BTC) and 'whales' (holding 1,000–10,000 BTC) incurred average daily losses of approximately $188.5 million and $147.5 million, respectively, totaling about $337 million. Cumulatively, the losses for the year have reached as high as $30.9 billion, nearing the levels seen during the bear market of 2022. Analysis indicates that the current selling pressure is driven by rising macro risks (such as inflation expectations and crowded AI trading) and weakening market confidence, prompting large holders to accelerate their stop-loss exits. Meanwhile, long-term holders (LTH) continue to realize average daily losses of around $200 million, indicating that the market has not yet experienced a significant 'selling pressure exhaustion.' Institutions believe that under multiple pressures, Bitcoin still faces further downside risks, with some opinions suggesting a potential bottom range between $40,000 and $50,000.
