👻Satoshi Turns 49 on April 5.

GM. Welcome to Proof of Ghost—the newsletter that tracks crypto’s power plays, even the ones no one wants you to see.

IN TODAY’S EDITION

Today’s edition is part history lesson, part horror story.

Satoshi didn’t pick April 5 by chance. Meanwhile, Bitcoin just dropped hard, analysts are calling it a buy, and whales are back in action.

Let’s get into it.

→ Satoshi Nakamoto’s listed birthday has deep protest symbolism
→ Trump’s new tariffs crash markets—Bitcoin hits $82K, heading for a death cross
→ Analysts and whales see the drop as a buy signal
→ April is packed with major Web3 events around the world
→ $159.7M flows into BTC ETFs, while ETH sees $19.9M pulled outLet’s break it all down.

How can someone anonymous have a birthday?

Satoshi Nakamoto listed April 5, 1975 as their birthdate on the P2P Foundation profile.

Random?

Not really.

→ April 5, 1933: The U.S. government banned private gold ownership through Executive Order 6102.

→ 1975: That ban was officially lifted, and gold was legalized again for public ownership.

Bitcoin = digital gold.

April 5 = symbolic middle finger to monetary control.

1975 = the year gold was freed again.

Satoshi didn’t just invent a currency.

They wove history, rebellion, and intent into every part of it—even the birthdate.

Call it poetic, or call it planned.

Either way, it reminds us:

Bitcoin was never just tech.

It was always a protest.

Happy birthday, ghost.

Bitcoin's next dance move? The Death Cross.

Asian markets are bleeding.

The yuan is sinking.

And Bitcoin just slipped from $88K to $83K after Trump’s new tariff wave hit 180 countries — with China getting the sharpest cut.

→ 54% tariff on Chinese goods
→ China threatening retaliation
→ Yuan drops to a 7-week low
→ Nikkei hits 8-month low
→ BTC heading straight into a Death Cross

And yes, the last time China devalued the yuan in response to US pressure — we saw market-wide chaos (remember 2015 and 2018?).

Now everyone’s staring at Beijing.

If China hits back with currency moves, we might see a deeper risk-off slide across equities, crypto, and even FX.

What’s wild?

Crypto was born as a hedge against exactly this kind of political chaos. But today, it’s just as much a part of the global risk asset class.

Death cross or not — this is shaping up to be one hell of a Q2.

Are you risk-on or watching from the sidelines?

Bitcoin just dropped to $82K. Analysts say it’s a buy.

Trump’s tariff shock crushed the markets.
→ S&P wiped $2T in a day
→ ETH & SOL slid over 6%
→ Bitcoin pulled back from $88K to $82K

But here’s the interesting part:
Some analysts believe the tariff announcement cleared uncertainty—and that clarity is exactly what markets love.

→ BlackRock-led spot BTC ETFs saw $218M inflow
→ Institutions are sniffing around again
→ Analysts are targeting $90K next

Kraken’s economist puts it best:
Volatility isn’t a red flag—it’s the price of early adoption.
Boom and bust cycles aren’t dead.
They’re the nature of digitally scarce assets meeting waves of demand.

If you’re waiting for calm seas, you’re probably anchored at the wrong port.

What are you doing in this volatility—buying, holding, or just watching?

Upcoming Global Events in April

The next 3 weeks are packed with heavyweight crypto events across every major region.
