Odaily Planet Daily reports that US President Trump stated that yesterday's employment data was excellent, with 178,000 new jobs added, and the trade deficit fell by 55%, marking the largest drop in history. He thanked "Mr. Tariff." Furthermore, Trump posted on social media: "The failing New York Times has lost all credibility and continues to launch fake news attacks against your beloved president, leading to a significant drop in circulation. They even call our severely weakened and extremely unreliable 'partner,' NATO, the 'North American Treaty Organization.' The correct name is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—a very interesting mistake. The New York Times' hiring and education standards have declined significantly. Let's bring back 'all the news that's worthy of publication,' and make America great again." (Jin Shi)

According to Huoxun Finance, Wang Chun, co-founder of the Bitcoin mining pool F2Pool, recently published an article pointing out that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not adopt a similar approach to US politicians' "bundling of legislation," forcibly pushing forward "some necessary but unpopular clauses"—this is one of the core reasons for his opposition to BIP-110 and BIP-54. Regarding the issues with the BIP-54 related fixes, Wang Chun further explained: - The Timewarp attack problem has existed for a long time and offers no significant advantage to miners because it's impossible to predict the miner of the next block; its only practical use is to interfere with some altcoins, and it offers almost no real benefit to Bitcoin miners, therefore there is no urgent need to modify it; - Block verification efficiency has been significantly improved due to libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades, requiring no adjustments at the protocol layer; - "Forging confirmed transactions" essentially relies on cracking double SHA256 collisions; if this occurs, it means that Bitcoin's core security has been compromised. Wang Chun believes that none of the above issues are sufficient to drive changes to the Bitcoin protocol. Currently, only the "duplicate transactions" problem has some value for fixing and may be one of the few protocol changes worth implementing.
