One of the most important things as a trader, is to record your thoughts and scenarios that you play in your head in real time and check back later what actually happened and analyze why or why it not happened. Humans are very easy at forgetting, especially when making mistakes!

Crypto attorney James Murphy, also known on X as MetaLawMan, just filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C., demanding the release of information that could expose the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the unknown figure behind Bitcoin, according to a report by Crypto In America. James filed the case in D.C. District Court with the help of Brian Field, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who now focuses on Freedom of Information Act cases. The target is a 2019 public statement made by Rana Saoud, a DHS Special Agent, who claimed during a conference that the U.S. government had already figured out who created Bitcoin. Rana said the creator wasn’t one person but four individuals, and claimed they were all interviewed by DHS agents in California, where they explained what Bitcoin was and why they made it. James wants the government to release the identities of those four people. He believes if the U.S. has that kind of information, it shouldn’t be kept secret. “If the government does indeed have this information, as the DHS Special Agent has claimed, it should not be withheld from the public,” James reportedly said in a statement to Crypto In America. James pointed out that Bitcoin’s global impact makes this information a public issue, not just a government secret. The lawsuit zeroes in on that 2019 DHS presentation. Rana’s exact words from the event are referenced in the case. She claimed the agency had both identified and located the creators of Bitcoin, had interviewed them in California, and had heard directly from them about the development and reasons behind it. Despite that claim, DHS has never publicly confirmed those interviews or revealed any of the names. James says he’s hoping for cooperation under the current Trump administration, which promised more openness from federal agencies. He’s appealing to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, saying she could choose to hand over the information now, without dragging the case through a long court process. “My hope is that Secretary Noem will embrace transparency in this instance and share this information voluntarily,” James said. “However, if she does not, we are prepared to pursue this litigation as far as necessary to solve this mystery.” He made it clear he’s willing to go the distance to get the answer. James is not the first to try and uncover who Satoshi is, but this time it’s a legal fight, not just speculation or online theories. Some in the crypto community have supported the effort, while others believe finding out who Satoshi is could destroy the appeal of Bitcoin—which was built to be free from central control. The community remains split. Some believe knowing Satoshi’s identity would bring clarity, while others say it could threaten Bitcoin’s decentralized status. If these four creators are real, still alive, and have access to early wallets or private keys, then a major chunk of Bitcoin could technically be controlled. That would punch a hole in everything Bitcoin was supposed to stand for. Cryptopolitan Academy: Coming Soon - A New Way to Earn Passive Income with DeFi in 2025. Learn More

🚨 JUST IN: Former Kraken executives have acquired real estate firm Janover, looking into creating a Solana treasury reserve.

The U.S. retail sector is reeling from the aftershocks of President Donald Trump's bold Liberation Day tariffs , but no brand has been hit harder than Nike. With a staggering 46% reciprocal tariff slapped on Vietnamese goods—a country that manufactures half of all Nike footwear—the iconic sportswear brand finds itself in a precarious position. Investors and consumers alike are now asking the same question: Can Nike survive this, or is it facing a financial reckoning that could spiral into bankruptcy? Nike’s deep reliance on Vietnam is no secret. According to the company’s own 2024 annual report , 50% of its footwear and 28% of its apparel production came from the Southeast Asian nation. Vietnam's strategic advantages—low labor costs, efficient shipping routes, and a skilled workforce—have made it a manufacturing darling for global brands. But that dependence has now turned into vulnerability. The newly imposed 46% tariff instantly inflates Nike’s production costs, destabilizing its entire supply chain overnight. Unlike competitors like Adidas, which relies on Vietnam for a smaller portion of its inventory (39% footwear and 18% apparel), Nike is disproportionately exposed to the fallout, making the blow far more severe. At 5:06 PM New York time on April 3, Nike’s shares nosedived 6.4% in extended trading, according to Bloomberg. The decline wasn’t an anomaly—it was the tipping point after weeks of selling pressure. Nike stock had already fallen 20% in March, largely due to weak earnings and growing competition from newer brands like Hoka and On, which are chipping away at Nike’s market share with innovation-focused strategies. This week's tariff announcement hit Nike at its weakest moment. The company’s Chief Financial Officer had already warned of continued revenue declines, and the market was listening. The reaction wasn’t isolated either—Shenzhou International, a major supplier to Nike, saw its stock plunge 18% in Hong Kong, its worst crash in over three years. The message from the market is clear: confidence is fading fast. While it’s premature to declare Nike on the brink of bankruptcy, the threat is no longer unthinkable. The company is now trapped in a financial bind. Higher tariffs mean ballooning costs that will likely be passed on to American consumers, just as the National Retail Federation warned. But raising prices risks further alienating a consumer base already exploring fresher, trendier alternatives. Nike may be forced to overhaul its supply chain, diversify manufacturing away from Vietnam, and cut costs aggressively. This could involve factory relocations, downsizing, or cancellation of expansion plans—all of which are expensive and time-consuming. The only thing more expensive than adapting, however, would be standing still. Trump’s tariff move seems less about Nike specifically and more about targeting Vietnam’s massive $123.5 billion trade surplus with the U.S. Once viewed as the ideal alternative to China, Vietnam is now being portrayed as the new "bad actor" in Trump’s protectionist agenda. In his 2019 remarks, Trump accused Vietnam of being “worse than China” in terms of trade exploitation—a narrative he appears determined to revive. Vietnam’s leadership scrambled for damage control, with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh even humorously offering to “golf all day” with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Despite easing taxes on U.S. goods and approving Starlink service as goodwill gestures, the country couldn’t avoid the crosshairs. The tariffs came anyway—and with them, a looming crisis for Vietnam’s economy and for brands that bet big on its factories. The rest of 2025 could make or break Nike. With its stock in freefall, revenues projected to drop, and costs skyrocketing, Nike will need to act fast. This could mean pivoting to domestic manufacturing, renegotiating supplier contracts, or absorbing short-term losses to preserve long-term brand equity. Still, there are wildcards. If Trump’s tariff enforcement stalls—as former U.S. Commerce Secretary predicts—or if trade negotiations resume, Nike may find breathing room. But hoping for political reversals isn’t a business strategy. Nike needs to restructure now or risk a prolonged period of market irrelevance —or worse, financial collapse. Nike isn’t going bankrupt tomorrow, but the storm is very real. The combination of weak earnings, intense new competition, and geopolitical exposure to Vietnam’s tariffs has turned a blue-chip stock into a risk asset overnight. If management fails to adapt swiftly, Nike could go from global icon to cautionary tale. In the end, this isn’t just about shoes. It’s about whether one of America’s most recognized brands can navigate the new world order of trade wars, tariffs, and consumer disruption. The next few quarters will tell us if Nike is still built to last—or if it’s running out of time.

The much-hyped REAL token — backed by MMA superstar and entrepreneur Conor McGregor — has flopped in its presale, with developers officially announcing that the token failed to hit the $1 million minimum fundraising goal. The REAL token presale raised just $392,315 in USDC, and as a result, all 668 participants will receive a full refund. The token was pitched as the anti-rug pull — a no-nonsense project set to bring “REAL change” to crypto and gaming. Only 60 million REAL tokens (3% of the total 2 billion supply) were up for grabs during a 28-hour sealed-bid auction, starting at $0.06 per token. The full raise was meant to hit $3.6 million at a $120 million fully diluted valuation. While McGregor’s name carries a lot of weight in the world of combat sports and entrepreneurship, the crypto market didn’t bite this time. Launching REAL during one of the worst crypto crashes of the year may have been the fatal mistake. Just as the auction kicked off, Bitcoin dipped from above $80,000 to below $76,000, U.S. stocks shed over $6.6 trillion in value, and fears of a new global recession sparked by Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff announcements gripped investors. Conor McGregor had promised something different from the usual celeb-backed pump-and-dump tokens: “This isn't some celebrity-endorsed bullshit token,” McGregor stated. “It’s a REAL game changer that will improve the crypto ecosystem as well as make REAL change in the world.” Despite the bold claim, the project failed to rally the crypto community at a time when confidence is low, and liquidity is tight. The low turnout — just 668 participants — highlights the broader market’s caution toward new, untested tokens, even those with big names behind them. RWG says this isn’t the end. They’ve hinted at regrouping, potentially rethinking their launch strategy. But with the market as shaky as it is and meme culture cooling off, it may take more than just hype and a famous face to revive REAL.
