Filtering out the hype with evidence-based reports on the cryptocurrency space, with a focus on #Bitcoin - http://forkmonitor.info
BitMex research does a pretty good job keeping things accessible most of the time. Here, a level-headed discussion about Quantum Computer threats that sees past the hand waving.

> The halving is half as important every four years Actually, it's LESS than half as important each time. If the calculation is: Subsidy cut / outstanding supply at halvening
Why is the four-year cycle dead? 1) The forces that have created prior four-year cycles are weaker: i) The halving is half as important every four years; ii) The interest rate cycle is positive for crypto, not negative (as it was in 2018 and 2022); iii) Blow-up risk is…
Came out in court in the criminal trial For example the FTX insurance fund balance calculation involved a random number generator. That is more computationally efficient than calculating it properly Also FTX obviously didn't do the expensive computations we do, to make sure…
"In our view, there is not much point seriously debating any plan to freeze vulnerable coins until a quantum safe spend option is available and widely used." hard agree. good overview of potential quantum safe signature schemes bitcoin could turn to along with the tradeoffs.
Quantum Safe Lamport Signatures We explain Lamport signatures, a hash based quantum safe digital signature scheme and we illustrate how quantum safe signatures can be simple. Hash based signatures may be the way forwards. There is no concrete reason to believe quantum computing…
Can we now finally admit that the central bank is who should be guilty of rigging interest rates? Our problems as a society are not caused by Tom Hayes and Carlo Palombo, they were just scapegoats

9 straight days of 9-figure $ETH ETF inflows, with over $3.2B pouring in. Spot ETH ETFs now collectively hold over 5 million ETH, accounting for more than 4% of the total supply. Buckle up. h/t @FarsideUK
.@Polymarket Please can you list markets on @PeterMcCormack becoming Bedford MP and Peter becoming the next UK PM
We are rules by morons! Another disaster for Rachel Reeves: June borrowing is £20.7 billion, second-highest June borrowing since records began, around £6.6 bn more than in June 2024, £3.6 bn above OBR and market forecasts. This is economic vandalism. Labour needs to go!

Possible quantum risk mitigation steps - In order Step 1 - Create a new quantum resistant spend type Step 2 - If quantum resistance spends are popular, after a long grace period, consider banning new spends to quantum vulnerable addresses Step 3 - Implement quantum safe…
quantum is not a near term risk for bitcoin quantum resistant addresses will be supported before it ever becomes one stay humble and stack sats
Member when in 2014 @Selkis_2028 tried to hold the Bitcoin Foundation board to account, by asking for more transparency. Then the board basically said no and that the priority was "making bitcoin bigger" rather than transparency We member! Source: blog.bitmex.com/wp-content/upl…
It’s because they told the White House I was a security threat. All because they were butthurt that I had dragged them to the finish line kicking and screaming.

Even if you're not really into Bitcoin or anything, you might still find the book to be fascinating, as there's tons in there about how group dynamics form and then harden over time in the presence of conflict. Just the sociology of it is worth studying. amazon.com/dp/B08Z18GWD6/…
.@Truthcoin According to this data from @0xB10C, in the last 30 days, 8.6% of Bitcoin outputs by value have been to Taproot addresses. And its growing very fast. We are absolutely stunned by the tremendous success of Taproot Still think its useless? mainnet.observer/charts/output-…
I've published my list of "derangements" in Bitcoin -- 21 of them in total (a coincidence) These are *false* things, that lots of people still believe @isabelfoxenduke
