Odaily Planet Daily reports: Former Vice President of the Bank of China, Wang Yongli, authored an article titled “Where Does the Massive Increase in Money Supply Come From?” which points out that modern currency has completely transitioned from metal-backed paper money to a system no longer anchored to any specific tradable wealth asset. Both monetary theory and practice have fully demonstrated that anchoring to any specific wealth will inevitably cause the total money supply to be unable to keep pace with changes in the total value of tradable assets. This can lead to severe constraints or hindrances on exchange transactions and economic and social development due to money shortages. Therefore, returning to the gold standard or seeking new anchors for currency (such as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, rare earths, energy, etc.) is a misunderstanding of the nature and developmental laws of money.

Robert Kiyosaki, in a recent post, said that Bitcoin and Ethereum could become the safest investments of 2026, because the United States continues to print money, debt is rising, and inflation is worsening. He criticized the safety of U.S. Treasuries as “the biggest lie,” and noted that real assets and cryptocurrencies can preserve wealth during inflation. His investment recommendations include holding Bitcoin, gold, silver, and commodities. Although some of his predictions weren’t accurate, some of his long-term predictions have come true.

BTC 15-minute surge of 0.84%: Upward momentum driven by insufficient liquidity and the resonance between futures premium arbitrage
2026-04-05 15:15 to 15:30 (UTC), the BTC price fluctuated within the 66,938.9 to 67,529.9 USDT range, with a 15-minute return of +0.84% and a volatility (amplitude) of 0.88%. During the same period, market trading activity increased: the number of active on-chain addresses over 10 minutes reached 420,690, short-term buying sentiment improved, and attention to the market was boosted.
The main drivers behind this move are persistent liquidity tightness in the spot and derivatives markets. Current trading volume is significantly lower than the range since the end of 2023, and the threshold for buy-side pressure to push prices higher has dropped markedly.
