上周,由比特币创造者(中本聪)撰写的 100 多封电子邮件获得首次公开。这是有关中本聪信息的最大补充,这其中有许多新的发现。但没有比中本聪背后的「神秘捐赠者」更有趣了,因为关于资助事宜,中本聪第一次明确表示:

  • 给努力为比特币经济建设服务的人提供财务支持

  • 支持早期尝试以美元定价比特币

在这些邮件公布之前,没有任何证据能证明这两点。以下是迄今为止所了解到的信息:

传奇般的捐赠

这些电子邮件显示,中本聪认识的一位捐赠者在 2010 年为该项目提供了 3600 美元的资金。

如果按照当时每枚比特币 0.06 美元的价格计算,这些钱本可以按市价购买超 5.8 万枚比特币。这位捐赠者为比特币长远的发展做出了重大牺牲。

关于「捐赠者」的对话发生在 Martti Malmi(早期的比特币开发者)和中本聪之间,但仅持续了一年。

2009 年 7 月:

中本聪在对话开始时说:“如果我们有需要资金的项目,我可以找一些捐赠者,但他们希望匿名,这使得我们很难真正用这些资金做什么。”

2009 年 8 月:

Martti 向中本聪咨询,关于为其新成立的比特币交易平台 Bitcoin Market 筹集资金的事宜。

尽管中本聪指出他希望这件事能“独立”于他的参与而完成,但还是提到了可以为这个想法找“资助者”。

2010 年 6 月:

中本聪再次提到,他得到 2000 美元的捐款。

他指出,这笔钱需要转给 Martti,这样他的身份就不会被泄露。

2010 年 7 月:

捐赠者仍未向 Martti 寄出任何资金。

2010 年 7 月:

中本聪回应说,他将再次与捐赠者联系,以优先支付这笔款项。

2010 年 7 月:

Martti 收到了 3600 美元的捐款,他同意将其用于项目费用,例如网页托管服务。

2010 年 7 月:

中本聪同意拨出 1000 美元给 Martti 的新交易平台。

值得注意的是,中本聪还认为这笔钱可以借给其他可能接受比特币的企业。

这就是迄今为止关于这位捐赠者的所有信息。如今,其身份仍然成谜。但很明显的是,捐赠者的这种牺牲在早期帮助推动了比特币的成功。无论这个人是谁,比特币都欠其一份人情。

A Company Once on the Brink of Bankruptcy Just Surpassed Bitcoin in Market Cap

On June 22nd, driven by rising stock prices, SK Hynix’s market capitalization reached $1.35 trillion, surpassing Bitcoin's total market cap of approximately $1.29 trillion. This temporarily made it South Korea's highest-valued company. The core driver of this surge is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), for which SK Hynix is the primary supplier to NVIDIA, holding over 60% market share. AI's demand for high memory bandwidth has translated into immense profitability, with SK Hynix reporting a 72% operating profit margin in Q1. The company's success follows a 13-year bet on HBM technology, beginning in 2009. It nearly failed after the 2001 dot-com bubble, was acquired by SK Group in 2012, and was subsequently recapitalized to continue its long-term HBM development. The article contrasts this with the Crypto AI narrative. Capital currently favors AI infrastructure players like SK Hynix due to "real orders, physical barriers, and quantifiable profit margins." In comparison, Crypto AI projects, promising decentralized compute and data markets, remain largely conceptual with limited tangible progress. Examples include Bittensor, whose core mechanisms are still under development, and Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI, who face significant funding gaps and execution challenges. The piece cites analysis suggesting the AI sector has absorbed nearly all new market liquidity since 2022, leaving little for crypto. It concludes that the current AI infrastructure红利 is captured by entities with proven technical barriers and supply capabilities, while crypto networks still need to define their concrete role in the value chain.

Bittensor Moves Towards Ultimate Decentralization: The Critical 18 Months for the TAO Ecosystem is Here?

Bittensor, a decentralized AI protocol, is accelerating its transition to full decentralization over the next 18 months, as outlined in a recent post by co-founder Const. The project currently operates in a "semi-decentralized" state: ownership and network participation are open and permissionless, with TAO distribution based on competitive contribution. However, protocol upgrades and governance have remained under core team control to enable rapid iteration in the fast-evolving AI sector. This strategic shift comes as the ecosystem matures, boasting 128 subnets and a large community. Const argues that continued centralization now poses risks, including single points of failure and regulatory scrutiny. The upcoming decentralization roadmap includes optimizing validator competition, opening liquidity pools, introducing governance rights for Alpha holders, and refining economic models. The move could fundamentally reshape TAO's value proposition, adding governance premiums to its existing valuation based on AI narrative and scarcity. It also signals a potential maturation of the AI crypto sector, where competition may shift from hype to sustainable protocol design and real economic activity. Bittensor positions itself not just as another AI token, but as foundational infrastructure aiming to decentralize intelligence production—analogous to Bitcoin's role in decentralizing money—with the goal of creating a resilient "Millennium Intelligence Federation."

Japan's AI Dark Horse Emerges: How a 7B Small Model Challenges Fable and Mythos?

In June 2026, Sakana AI's new model Fugu caused a stir in the AI community. Its Fugu Ultra variant achieved scores of 73.7 on SWE-Bench Pro and 82.1 on TerminalBench 2.1, surpassing GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8, and was claimed to be comparable to export-restricted models like Fable 5 and Mythos Preview. Remarkably, the core of this high-performance system is not a massive model, but a small 7B-parameter RL Conductor model. Fugu operates as a multi-agent orchestrator: the 7B model acts as a "foreman," dynamically analyzing user tasks and delegating subtasks to a pool of top-tier global models (e.g., GPT-5, Gemini 3.1 Pro). It then synthesizes and verifies their outputs. This architecture represents a paradigm shift from monolithic models to an expert-team approach. It enhances performance in complex, multi-step engineering tasks like code review and security testing by enabling cross-validation from specialized models, improving long-session stability and token efficiency. However, Fugu's strengths come with trade-offs: it faces inherent latency due to multiple API calls, relies heavily on underlying US model APIs (creating dependency risks), and its benchmark comparisons with Fable/Mythos are based on reported scores, not head-to-head testing. For Japan's AI ecosystem, which lacks the massive compute and data resources of the US or China, Fugu exemplifies an "asymmetric breakthrough" strategy. Instead of competing directly in parameter scale, it focuses on intelligent orchestration of existing global models, offering a degree of AI sovereignty and resilience. While a significant system-level innovation, its ultimate capability is still bounded by the underlying models it coordinates.
