Arthur Hayes: Still Believes Bitcoin Will Reach $250,000 by the End of the Year

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in a recent blog post: "The value of Bitcoin = technology + legal liquidity. This technology is effective and will not undergo any major changes in the near future, whether good or bad. Therefore, Bitcoin trading is entirely based on market expectations of future legal currency supply. If my analysis of the major shift from the Fed's QT to QE in government bonds is correct, then Bitcoin touched a local low of $76,500 last month, and now we are moving towards $250,000 by the end of the year. Of course, this is not an exact science, but if I had to bet between whether Bitcoin would first touch $76,500 or $110,000, I would bet on the latter. Even if the U.S. stock market continues to decline due to tariffs, collapsing profit expectations, or decreased foreign demand, I still believe that the probability of Bitcoin continuing to rise is greater. Recognizing the pros and cons, Maelstrom is deploying capital cautiously. We do not use leverage, and we make small purchases relative to the size of our total portfolio. We have been buying Bitcoin and altcoins at all levels between $90,000 and $76,500. The speed of capital deployment will accelerate or slow down based on the accuracy of my predictions. I still believe that by the end of the year, Bitcoin can reach $250,000."

OpenAI will release an open-source weighted language model for the first time since GPT-2 in 2019

Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI, stated in a post that they will release a "new open-source weight language model" with reasoning capabilities in the coming months, but first they hope to collect feedback on "how to maximize its utility". An open-source weight language model refers to a model that can be publicly used, downloaded, modified, or deployed. Although not as open as a fully open-source model, it is a significant shift compared to the fully closed GPT-3 and GPT-4. OpenAI partially open-sourced the GPT-2 model in February 2019, and completed full open-sourcing in November of the same year. On February 12 of this year, Sam Altman stated that the company plans to release GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 in the coming weeks or months.

Citi: South Korea's GDP growth may slow in 2025, and the central bank may cut interest rates three more times

Citigroup analysts Jin-Wook Kim and Jiuk Choi wrote in a report that due to the sluggish economic activity in the first quarter and the new tariffs implemented in the United States in April, South Korea's GDP growth rate this year may be weaker than expected. Analysts say that the delay in fiscal stimulus measures may also drag down the country's GDP growth. They have lowered their GDP growth expectations for South Korea in 2025 from 1.2% to 1.0%. The government may prepare an additional budget of 100 trillion Korean won in the second quarter and an additional budget of 200 trillion Korean won in the third quarter to support the economy. They added that the central bank may cut interest rates three more times this year - possibly in May, August, and November.
