🚨 THE U.S. GOVERNMENT JUST DID SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY INSANE Trump recently ordered America’s most important systems to begin abandoning cryptography that could be broken by quantum computers. Bitcoin relies on the same vulnerable class of cryptography. Now Bitcoin developers are discussing BIP 361. A proposal that could eventually restrict... old wallets that fail to migrate to quantum-resistant addresses. That means lost coins, ancient whale wallets and potentially even Satoshi’s Bitcoin could become impossible to spend. Bitcoin may soon face its most controversial decision ever: Freeze billions of dollars in BTC… Or leave the network exposed to the largest theft in financial history. The government’s order never mentioned Bitcoin. But it may have officially started the clock.show more

Better buy KROWN and Qastle wallet now... only true quantum protected crypto project.. period Dont believe me? Grok it

It’s all for show. How can they prepare for something that technically could be near limitless or for something they can’t yet define. If a quantum computer can change one atoms state, without having to touch it at all, then how can they defend against it if they can’t even get it to properly work to know how it fully functions. We’re cooked

We need a blockcahin that is easily upgradeable and has 2025 Nobel prize in physics winning tech for true QRNG. A chain that's lightening fast and upgradeable to combat new threats. Krown Networks Digital Motion's CTO is President of the ERC-3254 group.

They say quantum computers could attack the crypto market. Do you believe this madness? If they could attack the crypto market, why wouldn't they attack the ETF and stock markets? Have you thought about that? They are less protected than the crypto market and wouldn't be attacked

This seems so silly. Why is crypto the focus of the being at risk from quantum? When quantum computing lands everything is at risk. Crypto will likely be the safest due to the existing and proposed enhanced encryption. There will still be easily accessible money in the banks.

Now the veil os gone and people can see the BTC trap, they want control and this is how they get it, under the guise of security, you can now have all assets frozen and taken, or even simply. DELETED.

The debate isn't just about quantum anymore. It's about how you migrate an entire ecosystem without breaking everything. That's why I like @QANplatform's focus on crypto agility alongside post quantum security.

CZ Suggests Freezing Satoshi's Bitcoin to Address Quantum Threats Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ)CZ 🔶 BNB said in a June 18 interview with Galaxy that if Bitcoin forks in the future to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography, the community could give Satoshi-linked addresses holding about 1 million BTC a 6- to 12-month migration window. If the coins still do not move, the new protocol should freeze those addresses. CZ said that otherwise, the coins could eventually be claimed by the first person to crack the private keys with quantum computing. He acknowledged there is no perfect solution and said the final decision should be made by the community, potentially through miner signaling.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #18: MAKE BITCOIN QUANTUM RESISTANT | with BIP360 author Hunter Beast Hunter Beast 🕯️ Quantum computing is a complicated topic—one that incites equal amounts of fear and skepticism depending on who you talk to… especially in Bitcoin. In this episode, BIP360 author Hunter Beast wisely shares why the “truth is likely somewhere in the middle,” citing incremental advancements in quantum computing that may eventually pose a legitimate threat to some Bitcoin addresses—as well as steps we can take to protect ourselves in the short, medium and long term. The correct posture is to “be prepared, not scared,” says Hunter Beast 🕯️ Ultimately, the introduction of quantum resistant cryptography—via proposals like BIP360—will be needed for higher degrees of security. That said, individuals can mitigate personal risk substantially through proper address-use hygiene. This episode breaks down the specific challenges Bitcoin will face in the event of a quantum attack, the likelihood of an attack over time, and the steps we’ll need to take at the individual and communal level to ensure Bitcoin’s safety. This episode includes detailed discussion of: 1) How quantum computing could potentially affect Bitcoin public/private key cryptography—and technologies built on vulnerable addresses (e.g. Taproot) 2) Best practices for protecting yourself against quantum in the short and long term 3) Implications of vulnerable address types—e.g. what about Satoshi’s coins? 4) Deep Dive into BIP360 + proposed long-term solutions 5) Industry roadmaps for quantum computing + how banks and governments are preparing for “Q Day” As always, this episode can be viewed on Spotify or YouTuve—full episode in the comments or linktree in my bio.

🔥CHARLES HOSKINSON ON BITCOIN’S QUANTUM CRISIS: "TO DO NOTHING WOULD RESULT IN OVER 8 MILLION $BTC BEING STOLEN.” Hoskinson says Bitcoin cannot ignore the quantum threat forever. He suggested the network to either add optional post-quantum signatures, or freeze legacy accounts that fail to migrate. His bigger argument, however, was that Bitcoin lacks a clear governance layer to make that choice. During the Consensus Miami event, he warns of over 50% chance quantum computers could threaten crypto security by 2033.

BREAKING: France just quietly started a countdown that affects every crypto holder. Its national cyber agency will no longer certify any security product. Without quantum-safe encryption after 2027. The announcement never mentions crypto. Not once. But here is what it doesn't have to say. Bitcoin and Ethereum both run on elliptic curve cryptography. The exact algorithm France just declared obsolete. This is the quantum threat nobody likes to talk about. The fear isn't that quantum computers crack Bitcoin tomorrow. It's a strategy called "harvest now, decrypt later." Adversaries collecting encrypted data today. Waiting for the machine that can crack it. When a major government formally rejects the encryption crypto relies on. It's a signal. The timeline is shifting from theoretical to scheduled. Don't panic. Bitcoin can upgrade to quantum-resistant cryptography. The developers know this is coming. But France just made one thing clear. The clock isn't hypothetical anymore. It's ticking. And the date is set.

I built a wallet app that sends sBTC using bitcoin addresses instead of Stacks addresses. That's layer 2 sats sent from bitcoin address to bitcoin address in seconds for < $0.01 via the Stacks network: ✅Standard bitcoin addresses ✅Standard sign and broadcast semantics ✅Confirmation in seconds ✅Low fees ✅Self-custody ✅Bitcoin finality While this wallet is a prototype that works only with native Segwit addresses and requires or Leather - Grow your Bitcoin for transaction signing, Bitcoin addresses for sBTC (or all Stacks assets) could be adopted natively by any wallets. It doesn't require any changes to the Stacks core network. This address scheme could even be expanded so that fast, easy and cheap layer 2 BTC transactions could also work with legacy addresses. Here's how it works: Bitcoin legacy and native segwit addresses along with Stacks addresses all encode the so-called "hash160" of the user's public key. This means we can convert these two types of bitcoin addresses into a Stacks address and any Stacks address into either a legacy or native segwit bitcoin address. Using bitcoin addresses instead of Stacks addresses allows us to reuse many of the payment standards and QR code formats that have already been developed for bitcoin. It makes sBTC a true layer 2 bitcoin.

In March 2025, when President Trump signed an order creating a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve." 🇺🇸👏 That reserve has grown fast, from around 200,000 bitcoin to well over 328,000 in less than a year, making the US the largest known government holder of bitcoin on the planet.😯 So far, this is a whale that inherited its fortune, not one that's still buying. That could change. A bill in the Senate, called the BITCOIN Act, would direct the Treasury to actually start buying, up to a million coins over time.

The biggest damage from BIP-110 failing may have nothing to do with BIP-110. Puncher75 - BIP-110 said the important part out loud on the The Bitcoin Edge Podcast. The people who saw an attack coming and were willing to stand up when it was unpopular are now being treated like the problem. "Fork off" "Leave Bitcoin" "Bitcoin won" That is a hell of a way to treat people who have been fighting for Bitcoin for years and were willing to stand up again when they thought it mattered. Maybe you think they were wrong... But treating the people most willing to defend Bitcoin like they're no longer welcome here may be the most damaging legacy of this temporary soft fork failing.

BITCOIN RAILS #61: QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR BITCOIN | with Dan Boneh Dan Boneh 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: One of the most prolific and influential cryptographers in the world, it’s difficult to fully quantify the impact that Dan Boneh has had on Bitcoin and digital assets more broadly. Through both his own research and his mentorship of some of the space’s most important contributors — e.g. Andrew Poelstra, Benedikt Bünz ☕️, and Robin Linus — few people have done more to shape the cryptographic foundations underlying modern blockchains and digital finance. More recently, Dan co-authored Google's widely discussed paper, “Securing Elliptic Curve Cryptocurrencies against Quantum Vulnerabilities,” which reduced prior estimates of the resources required to run Shor’s algorithm against the elliptic-curve cryptography used by Bitcoin. The paper reignited debate around quantum computing timelines and the long-term security assumptions behind modern cryptocurrencies. In this episode of Bitcoin Rails, Dan and I discuss the current state of quantum computing, its potential implications for Bitcoin, and how he believes the Bitcoin community should think about preparing for a post-quantum future over the coming decade and beyond.

BITCOIN RAILS #61: QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR BITCOIN | with Dan Boneh Dan Boneh 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: One of the most prolific and influential cryptographers in the world, it’s difficult to fully quantify the impact that Dan Boneh has had on Bitcoin and digital assets more broadly. Through both his own research and his mentorship of some of the space’s most important contributors — e.g. Andrew Poelstra, Benedikt Bünz ☕️, and Robin Linus — few people have done more to shape the cryptographic foundations underlying modern blockchains and digital finance. More recently, Dan co-authored Google's widely discussed paper, “Securing Elliptic Curve Cryptocurrencies against Quantum Vulnerabilities,” which reduced prior estimates of the resources required to run Shor’s algorithm against the elliptic-curve cryptography used by Bitcoin. The paper reignited debate around quantum computing timelines and the long-term security assumptions behind modern cryptocurrencies. In this episode of Bitcoin Rails, Dan and I discuss the current state of quantum computing, its potential implications for Bitcoin, and how he believes the Bitcoin community should think about preparing for a post-quantum future over the coming decade and beyond.

🚨 THE BIGGEST BITCOIN BULL TRAP OF THIS ENTIRE BEAR MARKET MAY BE FORMING RIGHT NOW... The July relief rally pushed Bitcoin back above its 200 week moving average. But just like in 2022, an August sell off could follow. Back then, Bitcoin plunged 38%. I don’t expect Bitcoin to fall that much this time, but the setup looks very familiar.

OG Barry Silbert believes #Bittensor has the potential to be bigger than #Bitcoin ⚫️ "When I think about ways that #Bitcoin could be improved upon.. I believe, is to utilize the incentive being paid to #Bitcoin miners to incent an activity beyond just securing the network" "So with #Bittensor, potentially, given that it is identical to #Bitcoin and that it was a fair launch, there was no VC funding or foundation or pre-mine, there was no airdrops, it's capped at 21 million, you have halvings.. it's just like #Bitcoin" "But the difference, and I think kind of the benefit, is the incentive used by #Bitcoin miners is instead being redirected to build out #Bittensor and to incent people to engage" "And from that perspective, there's no reason to believe that #Bittensor could not be as big or even bigger than #Bitcoin" Full #Bittensor documentary dropping October 29, 2025 👇 $TAO

BITCOIN RAILS #69: ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PROOFS FOR POST-QUANTUM BITCOIN | with Benedikt Bünz 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: While many Bitcoiners remain hopeful the network will embrace zero-knowledge proofs for protocol-level use cases, practical adoption has remained limited outside of BitVM and a handful of experimental proposals. Most of the world’s ZKP research has circled around Ethereum and other ecosystems, where significant resources have been dedicated to advancing these systems, particularly for scaling and privacy applications. One of the most notable contributors to this research is Benedikt Bünz ☕️ — professor of cryptography at NYU and collaborator of Dan Boneh, who together inarguably form one of the strongest blockchain-applied cryptography teams in the world. The pair recently announced they’ll be leading the new post-quantum cryptography unit localhost research — the first dedicated PQ research effort within a major Bitcoin development organization. With Benedikt leading the charge on the use of zero-knowledge proofs for post-quantum mitigation, the question emerges: will the post-quantum transition be the catalyst to finally bring zero-knowledge proofs to Bitcoin's core protocol? In more detail, Benedikt and I discuss: - Why ZKPs haven’t been widely adopted by the Bitcoin technical community — and why the threat of quantum computers may change that posture going forward - How ZKPs could be used for signature batching to address larger post-quantum signatures in Bitcoin’s post-quantum era - Why Bitcoiners will likely prioritize hash-based signatures as an initial post-quantum scheme — rather than more efficient but less proven alternatives (e.g., lattice-based) - How ZKPs have evolved over the last decade and may finally be ready for Bitcoin’s strict requirements around trust assumptions - Why Benedikt and Dan are teaming up with localhost research to create the first post-quantum cryptography unit within a major Bitcoin development organization + what they hope to accomplish This episode of Bitcoin Rails is brought to you by: LayerTwo Labs LayerTwo Labs — developing research, software, and technologies for scaling Bitcoin via the integration of Drivechains (BIP 300/301) Hashi on Sui — a primitive for executing Bitcoin DeFi transactions, without having to trust a federated bridge or other centralized entity BitBox BitBox — an open-source Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, with smooth UX and no compromises on security.
