The Invisible Hand Behind Politician Meme Coins: Million-Dollar-Level Manipulation Techniques
At the beginning of the year, the elected U.S. president launched TRUMP coin, becoming a hot topic. Subsequently, his family members and other politicians issued their own coins, but the situation quickly deteriorated. Within hours of the LIBRA coin launched by a leader of a South American country, the project team withdrew $87 million from the liquidity pool, causing the coin price to plummet over 80%.
Blockchain analysis firms tracked the flow of funds and found that the deployment addresses of this leader's coin and another family member's coin pointed to the same controller. Further investigation revealed that multiple historical "rug pull" projects were involved behind the scenes. The so-called market maker team was ultimately accused of being a "criminal family."

Blockchain is not just a cloud database on a server. Behind its operation is a network of thousands of computers interacting as equal partners without central control. These computers have a special purpose – they are called nodes, and it is they who make cryptocurrencies such as secure and decentralized.

The blockchain industry has undergone remarkable transformation. What started as Bitcoin's vision for decentralized payments has blossomed into an ecosystem supporting DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, the metaverse, and Web3 applications. Yet as adoption accelerates, a critical challenge emerges: how do we

With the rapid development of computer technology, data has become the core of daily life, but it also faces unprecedented security threats. Whether it is personal privacy or financial assets, strong protection mechanisms are needed. Cryptography, as the cornerstone of information security, transforms ordinary data into difficult-to-decrypt ciphertext through mathematical and computational methods, ensuring that only authorized users can access the original information. This concept did not originate in the digital age—historically, people have long been encrypting information to prevent eavesdropping. However, the application of computer technology has taken cryptography to a whole new level.
The Essence and Operating Principles of Cryptography
In simple terms, cryptography is a science about hiding and protecting information. Contemporary cryptography relies on complex mathematical theories and computational techniques to encode and decode data, while ensuring the integrity and authenticity of the information.
In a standard encryption process, plaintext (raw data that can be directly understood) is processed through a specific
