According to Bitcoin Magazine, Richard Byworth previously worked at Syz Capital, focusing his career on hedge fund structure design. In an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, he stated that the next round of Bitcoin's rise is just a matter of time.He pointed out that, based on data from on-chain analysis platforms like Glassnode, the current level of seller exhaustion has reached a historical high. Although the market does not exhibit an extreme bearish atmosphere, multiple on-chain indicators show that Bitcoin is strongly building a bottom. He mentioned that Bitcoin has been trading in the range just above $80,000 in recent weeks, and he believed that $58,000 was a bottom.Byworth also discussed Bitcoin yield strategies. He warned that using a covered call strategy during a bullish market could lead to significant losses of Bitcoin for investors, and advocated for earning low-volatility, market-neutral returns through basis trading collateralized by Bitcoin. He noted that Strive had bought three times the weekly issuance of Bitcoin in a single transaction within a week, believing that the next round of rise is just a matter of time.Regarding Bitcoin treasury companies, Byworth stated that the digital credit products designed by Saylor are putting pressure on the traditional bond market, as the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is around 5.1% to 5.2%, and investors will see their returns eroded by the faster pace of currency depreciation. He mentioned followers like Strive and Metaplanet, and believes that Bitcoin could break its historical high again before the end of the year, and reaching $350,000 in about a year is not entirely impossible.

The wealthiest state in India, Maharashtra, is formulating policies to tokenize state government assets (including power transmission infrastructure), with the funds raised to be used for constructing new transmission lines and energy storage facilities. The Chief Minister's Chief Economic Advisor and CEO of the Maharashtra Transformation Institute (MITRA), Praveen Pardeshi, introduced this plan at an invitation-only event called "The Box Launch," hosted by the real estate tokenization company RealX and MST Blockchain at the Mumbai World Trade Center.Pardeshi stated that transmission lines could be partially tokenized, for example, 40% to 50%, allowing investors holding tokens to receive a portion of the revenue from Maharashtra Transco. The new funds generated from token sales could be used to build more transmission lines and solar energy storage centers. He pointed out that the state currently has a significant surplus of solar power but lacks the grid capacity to deliver it to where it is needed; distribution companies must pay high prices of 16 to 18 rupees per unit during peak hours, while the price during surplus periods on the power exchange is only 2 paise per unit.He also illustrated the practice of real estate tokenization with the example of the Mumbai Express Towers commercial building tokenized under a REIT structure, emphasizing that tokenization does not equate to privatization but rather allows more citizens to participate in the development activities of public asset creation. Additionally, the state is drafting the Maharashtra Digital and Land Token Asset Trading Act (DELTA Act), which, if passed, will make it the first state in India to legislate for blockchain-based property tokenization.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," stated that despite the recent decline in gold and silver prices, he will not decide to buy or sell assets solely based on price, as he has made many mistakes in the past, one of which was allowing price to influence his investment judgments. He believes that more attention should be paid to the "environment" and macro background of the assets rather than short-term price fluctuations.Currently, the global economic management is performing poorly, which may lead to worsening problems. Therefore, he is focusing on the technical trends of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, and waiting to buy after the prices end their downward trend. The technical charts for gold and silver indicate that both may be in a phase before a significant rise, but investors should make their own judgments and not blindly trust others' opinions.
