According to Odaily Planet Daily, Greg, a core contributor to the Ethereum consensus layer, revealed the inside story of Tomasz Stańczak's resignation as executive director of the Ethereum Foundation in an article published on the X platform. He stated that he was not surprised by this event because the Ethereum Foundation has long been plagued by power struggles. The organizational inertia of "this is how the Ethereum Foundation does things" makes reforms difficult to implement. Over the past year, key figure Vitalik Buterin has been largely absent, leading to problems such as inefficient resource allocation and project stagnation within the foundation. The internal reforms initially promoted by Tomasz Stańczak were not widely accepted, which may have led to his departure. He possesses extensive industry experience, including backgrounds at Nethermind, Flashbots, and venture capital. Although he disclosed the potential conflict of interest in advance, some community members still have doubts. Furthermore, Tomasz Stańczak genuinely wanted to return to technical development, but he likely encountered resistance in pushing for reforms within the Ethereum Foundation, forcing him to leave. In the future, a leadership team with genuine business experience and decision-making ability is needed to ensure the organization's effective operation.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that a kidnapping case in Tucson, Arizona, has garnered national attention. Nancy Guthrie, mother of well-known morning talk show host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her home in the early hours of February 1st. Police believe she was forcibly taken. The case quickly became a media sensation, attracting a large influx of media and online "amateur detectives," making Tucson a global focal point. Police stated that the suspect's identity has not yet been confirmed, and the investigation is ongoing. Reports indicate that the kidnappers allegedly demanded a ransom in Bitcoin anonymously, showcasing a new characteristic of extortion using crypto assets. A former FBI negotiator pointed out that although the suspect appeared masked on security camera footage, the high level of scrutiny and continued exposure makes it "difficult for them to remain hidden for long." The White House stated that the FBI will dedicate "all resources" to assisting the investigation. As the case continues to unfold, the local community has hung yellow ribbons and posted missing person notices, appealing to the public for information.
