Franklyn Wang successfully identified the anonymous document as originating from Vitalik by analyzing the unique habits in the mathematical and algorithmic explanations (such as specific numerical examples and attack scenario descriptions). According to a previous Foresight News report, Vitalik Buterin tweeted that his anonymity experiment had been going on for "13 days" and "no one has found it yet."

A Warren Buffett disciple who sold Micron shares: The semiconductor stock party has just begun; most people should be buying index funds.

According to Mars Finance, on June 25th, Mohnish Pabrai, a renowned value investor and "disciple of Warren Buffett," who bought a position in Micron in 2017 and sold it all in September 2023, only made about 100% profit. In the two years following the sale, Micron's stock price rose more than 15 times, meaning he likely missed out on about $2 billion. He also sold too early in his SK Hynix deal. On June 22nd, in a South Korean talk show, "Information Insider," he reviewed his most painful trading mistakes: "It's very regrettable. I violated my principles and sold companies I should have held forever." In the program, he advised ordinary investors: "More than 99% of people should directly buy index funds; if you cannot accurately predict a stock's cash flow over 10-20 years, you shouldn't buy individual stocks." Meanwhile, public information shows that his current holdings in Q1 2026 are heavily weighted towards cyclical stocks (Warrior Met Coal, RIG, etc.). When asked by the host, "What advice do you have for investors currently holding Korean semiconductor stocks?" Pabrai answered without hesitation, "If you already own them, don't sell. The party's just beginning."

Nearly 100 Catholic leaders oppose the Clarity Act, arguing it could weaken safeguards against illicit finance and human trafficking.

According to Odaily Odaily, nearly 100 Catholic leaders representing church groups across the United States have written to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, opposing certain provisions of the Clarity Act, a bill under discussion to structure the crypto market, arguing that it could weaken regulatory capabilities to combat illicit financial activities related to human trafficking. Alliance to End Human Trafficking, a Catholic-backed organization, argues that a specific provision in the bill could make it more difficult for regulators to monitor illicit financial flows related to human trafficking and other crimes. The letter stated that the Catholic Church has long maintained that economic systems and markets should ultimately serve people, especially the poor, vulnerable, and most susceptible to exploitation. The organization acknowledged the potential of emerging financial technologies and supported responsible innovation, but asserted that innovation should not come at the expense of human dignity and public accountability.
