DOJ’s hollow developer promise masks open‑source criminalization:
· The DOJ says it won’t prosecute open-source developers, but its ‘knowing’ standard leaves Bitcoin builders criminally liable for user actions.
· Three developers still face decades in prison despite an internal regulator clearing them of legal violation six months prior.
· Privacy advocates warn the case aims to destroy financial tools that protect citizens from state surveillance and physical violence.

Investigator says Finney and Sassaman created Bitcoin as Satoshi:
· Hal Finney built Bitcoin's code; Len Sassaman authored its anti-bank thesis.
· The creators' deaths explain why Satoshi's $50 billion fortune is dormant.
· Bitcoin's original critique of Wall Street has become its primary revenue stream.

💼 BUSINESS
Analysts warn Fed's passive easing fuels inflation, worsens inequality:
· The Fed’s 2% inflation target is a myth that forces constant debasement to bail out a debt-saturated system.
· Keeping rates steady acts as 'passive easing,' accelerating inflation while real consumer spending declines.
· Moving to dual-income households and private retirement accounts masked a 50-year wage collapse and now locks out the young.
