Regarding Japan's decision this year to classify Bitcoin as a financial product, crypto analyst Willy Woo commented on the X platform that this policy is beneficial for ordinary people, as it will incentivize more Japanese to buy Bitcoin. This is because, with Bitcoin classified as a financial product, the tax rate on Bitcoin gains or transactions in Japan will be 20%, instead of the marginal income tax rate (which can reach 43-55% for annual incomes exceeding $57,000). However, this policy may be detrimental to Bitcoin treasury companies like Metaplanet, as their self-custodied Bitcoin holdings will lose their tax arbitrage advantage.

Elon Musk reveals plans to open-source X platform algorithm, highlighting changes every four weeks. source: https://coincu.com/news/elon-musk-x-platform-open-source/

According to Odaily, Nikita Bier, the product lead for X and advisor to Solana, recently commented on the X platform about a prevalent belief in the crypto tweet (CT) community. Since October last year, it has been suggested that users need to engage in numerous daily replies to grow their accounts. Bier argued that frequent posting depletes daily influence, as the average user only views about 20–30 posts per day. The platform cannot fully deliver all content from a single user to their followers, leading some crypto users to waste influence on low-value interactions like 'gm,' limiting reach when announcing substantial project updates. Bier believes the decline in crypto tweet influence is primarily due to community behavior rather than platform algorithm issues, describing the situation as 'CT is dying from suicide.' His remarks sparked controversy within the crypto community. KALEO, a crypto analyst and co-founder of LedgArt, criticized Bier for not considering user growth and long-term active users, suggesting that his approach might weaken the crypto community ecosystem on the X platform. KALEO publicly called for Bier's resignation. Bier has since deleted the related tweets.

According to PANews, Elon Musk has announced on the X platform that the algorithm used to recommend natural search content and advertisements to users will be open-sourced within seven days. This process will be repeated every four weeks and will include detailed developer instructions. Previously, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted on the X platform that bots posted 7,754,367 crypto-related messages yesterday, marking a 1,224% increase. This surge led to the X platform algorithm blocking cryptocurrency-related posts.
