Comparative review of the weekend's key news:

[Thailand and New Zealand investigate Cambodian Prince Holding Group sanctioned by US and UK]

According to Bloomberg, the Thai and Singaporean authorities are investigating the Cambodian Prince Holding Group, whose chairman has been sanctioned by the US and the UK on the grounds of fraud and money laundering. Thailand's Cybercrime Investigation Bureau will cooperate with the US to review relevant asset seizure procedures. The Singapore police also said they are investigating the case and maintaining contacts with law enforcement agencies in other countries.

[Jay Chou has removed social media content looking for Bitcoin investment friends]

Comparing the news, Jay Chou posted an “angry post” on his personal Instagram on October 15, saying, “If you don't show up again, you're done”, then Tsai Weize resumed claiming that she wanted to “temporarily stop using social media”. Taiwanese media revealed that the two were suspected of involving hundreds of millions of NTD financial disputes. Tsai Weize helped her invest in Bitcoin in her account. However, a year ago, she claimed that the account was locked for some reason, and the assets have not been returned. Bad move. However, community users discovered that Jay Chou's Instagram had removed the relevant dynamic content, but unfollowed Choi Wai-taek.

【Japan considers permitting banks[Investing in crypto assets]

Comparative news, according to market sources, Japan is considering allowing banks to invest in crypto assets.

[Trump's second son: He never discussed cryptocurrencies with his father, but he is convinced that blockchain is the future of finance]

Comparing news, Trump's second son Eric Trump said in an interview with CNN that he “never talked to his father about cryptocurrencies,” but acknowledged that his father is a staunch supporter of the industry.

Eric said that the crypto industry broadly supported Trump during the election campaign, and Trump also believed blockchain represented the future of finance. He said, “Everything can be done better, faster, and cheaper with blockchain. If we ignore it, America will be surpassed.”

[Vitalik: I hope more developers working on ZK and FHE can express performance in the form of ratios to replace computational capacity metrics per second]

Comparing the news, Vitalik posted an article on the X platform saying, “I hope more developers who do ZK (zero knowledge proof) and FHE (full homomorphic encryption) can express performance in the form of a ratio (such as “time required for cryptographic computation/original calculation time”) rather than just saying “we can do N operations per second.”

This approach is less hardware dependent and provides a very useful indicator: How much efficiency did I sacrifice when I changed my app from “trust-dependent” to “cryptographics-dependent”?

It's also generally more suitable for performance estimation, because as a developer, I already know how long the original calculation takes, and I can estimate performance by directly multiplying the cost ratio.

(Yes, I know it's not easy because the types of operations are different between execution and proof, especially in SIMD/parallelization and memory access methods, so even the cost ratio is partially hardware dependent. But even so, I still think the “cost ratio” is a very valuable metric, although it's not perfect.)”
