Moores Thread co-founder Li Feng was exposed to have been involved in coin issuance and failing to return 1500 BTC
**Foresight News (Dec. 7) —**
Domestic GPU firm MoreThread, billed as “China’s first GPU stock,” skyrocketed nearly 470% on its Sci-Tech Innovation Board debut Dec. 5, pushing its market cap above 3 trillion yuan. The IPO netted 267,000 yuan, with investors including Tencent and ByteDance scoring over 35x returns—some institutions hit 6,200x.
But the hype has resurfaced controversies tied to co-founder Li Feng’s crypto past:
- **2017 ICO Project:** Li launched the questionable “Malgo Coin (MGD)” with Li Xiaolai, backed by an exaggerated whitepaper and fabricated team credentials. The project raised 5,000 ETH during the ICO boom, with just 25% earmarked for R&D (remaining funds’ use was unaccounted for). It later rebranded to “Camel Coin” amid regulatory scrutiny.
- **2018 BTC Loan Allegations:** OKEx founder Star accused Li of borrowing 1,500 BTC (~$10M at the time, ~$135M today) and vanishing without repayment. Star said he filed legal claims in China and the U.S., but vagu

a16z: Slow Upgrades and Massive Dormant Tokens Expose BTC to Greater Quantum Threat
On December 7th, a16z said in its latest article on quantum attacks that Bitcoin faces two major real-world challenges, creating an urgent need to transition to post-quantum digital signatures.
The first challenge is governance inefficiency: Bitcoin’s upgrade process is notoriously slow. If the community fails to reach consensus on a solution, any contentious issue could trigger a disruptive hard fork.
The second is the lack of proactive migration: Bitcoin cannot complete the shift to post-quantum signatures passively — holders must actively move their assets. This means millions of dormant, quantum-vulnerable bitcoins could lose protection.
Estimates indicate the number of such quantum-vulnerable, potentially abandoned bitcoins could hit the millions, with a combined market value of up to hundreds of billions of dollars.

FT: US Housing Crisis Pushing Gen Z Toward Cryptocurrency and 'Economic Nihilism'
The Financial Times reported on December 7 that worsening housing affordability in the U.S. is fundamentally reshaping Gen Z’s financial habits and spending—even pushing some young people to speculate in crypto and fostering feelings of “economic nihilism.”
The gap between home prices and incomes has emerged as a key driver of young people’s economic choices. With homeownership feeling out of reach for many, some Gen Zers are choosing to “lie flat”—cutting back on savings and ramping up investments in high-risk assets like crypto. Surveys indicate that young people who see homeownership as unrealistic are more likely to do three things: save less, work less hard, and speculate more. By contrast, those who still believe they can buy a home someday are more likely to save actively and plan ahead—since shifting beliefs about that goal change their incentives.
The piece stresses that as the opportunity cost of buying a home rises sharply, more young people are putting their time and
