A prominent Chinese professor is issuing a stark warning to crypto investors, claiming Bitcoin was engineered by the CIA as a global financial surveillance tool—a theory gaining renewed traction just as BTC battles for a decisive technical breakout. Professor Jiang Xueqin's incendiary argument asserts Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity, dollar-denominated pricing, and Bitcoin's post-2008 crisis emergence were deliberately crafted to serve U.S. geopolitical interests, creating what he describes as Washington's ultimate capital flow tracking mechanism with built-in plausible deniability.

Bitcoin and $80K Level to Break

Bitcoin is consolidating just below $75,000, holding above the $71,000–$72,000 support band that served as a floor during earlier geopolitical volatility. Yesterday’s high of $76,000 represents immediate resistance.

The technical picture is mixed, though. RSI sits at 62, a neutral territory, approaching overbought. But 20 of 32 technical indicators currently read bearish on daily and weekly timeframes, a signal that the rally lacks broad conviction. Alexander Kuptsikevich characterizes the current move as “slow but steady growth,” in not a ringing endorsement for aggressive longs.

Bitcoin Hyper Is Not a CIA Surveillance Instrument

CIA or not, Bitcoin’s asymmetric upside window is largely priced in. That’s not a knock on BTC’s long-term thesis. It’s just arithmetic.

This is why some traders are rotating early-stage exposure toward infrastructure plays positioned to benefit from Bitcoin’s growth rather than replicate it. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is one project drawing significant attention, and not without reason.

It’s the first Bitcoin Layer 2 integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), delivering transaction speeds that reportedly surpass Solana itself while inheriting Bitcoin’s security layer. That’s a technically aggressive claim, and the market is responding.

The presale has raisedat a current token price of, with huge staking rewards available for participants who commit early. The presale milestone has already drawn wider coverage as BTC Layer 2 infrastructure becomes a key narrative heading into 2026.

Features include a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for BTC transfers, low-latency smart contract execution, and support for payments, meme coins, and dApps, essentially the programmability Bitcoin has never natively offered.
