BlockBeats reported that on April 4, at the recent BOSS Summit (Bitcoin Open Source Summit) held in Dharamshala, India, developer Bala completed a live demonstration of a pure offline Bitcoin transaction, astonishing the Bitcoin community. Bala utilized Mesh Radio (a wireless mesh network based on Meshtastic LoRa technology), using zero internet, no ISP, no Wi-Fi, and no cellular data, relying solely on pure radio waves to broadcast a real Bitcoin transaction in real-time, directly sending it to the Bitcoin mempool (transaction memory pool), achieving a complete process from "Off-Grid" to "On-Chain". This "cypherpunk ultimate demonstration" highlights Bitcoin's strong resilience as an unconfiscatable currency, especially applicable in scenarios of censorship, internet outages, disasters, or uncertain times. Bitshala officially stated: "When we say we are building unconfiscatable money for uncertain times, this is what we mean." The relevant open-source repository has been made public, supporting the connection between Meshtastic devices and Bitcoin Core, capable of splitting transaction data into small pieces, relaying it hop-by-hop between mesh nodes, and ultimately having the gateway node broadcast it to the global Bitcoin network. This demonstration quickly sparked heated discussion in the community and is regarded as an iconic development in the combination of Mesh Radio and Bitcoin, proving that the Bitcoin network can still maintain basic functionality when traditional communication infrastructure fails.

Golden Ten Data reported on April 4 that China International Capital Corporation (CICC) released a research report. The Iran conflict has entered its fifth week, with developments becoming more complex than initially expected by the market. There is still a considerable distance to true de-escalation, and the path to easing tensions is likely to experience repeated twists and turns. At present, the key question for investors is: has the market “bottomed out”? To answer this, firstly, one must observe whether the situation is escalating. Secondly, even if the outlook remains unclear, it is possible to assess whether asset pricing has become sufficiently adjusted. Furthermore, the pricing differences among various assets and industries will result in significantly different “value for money.” In our view, April marks a critical point to determine whether the “paper disturbances” in the financial market will evolve into “actual shocks” affecting real production. In terms of asset pricing, bonds, gold, and copper remain relatively pessimistic; equity markets, in general, have not fully priced in negative scenarios. In terms of allocation, we recommend positioning early in assets that have been sufficiently priced, holding beneficial assets without chasing highs, and hedging volatility with low-volatility dividends or by reducing positions.
