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.

According to Huoxun Finance, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to consider Kevin Warsh's nomination as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Another criminal investigation surrounding the Fed is ongoing, examining whether current Chairman Jerome Powell made false statements to Congress regarding the expensive renovation of the Fed's office buildings. Warsh's nomination process is still progressing, potentially creating a conflict between the two parallel processes pushed by the Trump administration. Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has stated that he will not vote to confirm Warsh until the aforementioned investigation is concluded, meaning Trump cannot simultaneously advance both processes. However, by continuing to hold the hearings, Trump is clearly still trying to achieve this goal. Currently, the Senate Banking Committee has not included the hearings in its public schedule.

According to Huoxun Finance, Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, stated in an article on the X platform that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not emulate the practice of US politicians who forcefully push through "must-pass but unpopular clauses" using "bundled legislation." This is a key reason for his opposition to BIP-110 and BIP-54. Regarding the potential problems with the fixes using BIP-54, Wang Chun added that the Timewarp attack is a long-standing issue that offers no significant advantage to miners—because the miner of the next block cannot be predicted, its only practical use is to interfere with some altcoins. Since it offers almost no real benefit to Bitcoin miners, there is no urgent need for modification. Furthermore, block verification efficiency has been significantly improved due to libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades, requiring no protocol-level adjustments. The "forging confirmed transactions" essentially relies on cracking double SHA256 collisions; if this assumption holds true, it means that Bitcoin's core security has been compromised. Wang Chun further stated that none of the above issues are sufficient to drive protocol modification; currently, only the "duplicate transactions" issue has some value for fixing and may be one of the few worthwhile changes to implement.

According to a source familiar with the matter who spoke to CNBC, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to consider Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve Chairman. Another criminal investigation surrounding the Fed is ongoing, examining whether current Chairman Jerome Powell made false statements to Congress regarding the expensive renovation of the Fed's office buildings. The fact that Warsh's nomination process is still progressing creates a potential conflict between the two parallel processes being pushed by the Trump administration. Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has already stated that he will not vote to confirm Warsh until the investigation is complete, meaning Trump cannot proceed with both processes simultaneously. However, by continuing to push forward with the hearings, Trump is clearly still trying to achieve this goal. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet included the hearings in its public schedule.
