An outsider like me can't accurately call every move in a 5D multiplayer political chess match. When Trump's term is over, we can accurately analyze his long term goals, temporary alliances, clever gambits, and whether he was sandbagging or throwing the match.

Am I reading this correctly? Does Blackrock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF dissolve if Bitcoin hard forks without SEC approval?

Does c++ have a production ready FIPS 204 ML-DSA or FIPS 205 SLH-DSA library with a permissive license that Core can import, or are they forced to roll their own? Golang has FIPS 203 ML-KEM, but Btcd will have to wait for "crypto/mldsa" and/or "crypto/slhdsa" until go 1.26

bitcoin is not working on a post quantum strategy because it was designed as a bounty on a successful implementation of shor's

Bitcoin Core version 30 roadmap meeting is next week, are you expecting any hard forks? Bitcoin Core Github PRs are Bitcoin's Open Market Committee. The devs with acknowledgement power are the chairmen. Core runs on 96% of nodes, so Core forks are a realistic 51% attack vector.

Golang is ideal for Bitcoin node development. It's statically compiled, memory safe, garbage collected, widely adopted, and secure. Why is 96% of nodeshare a single c++ implementation? Nodes aren't CPU bottlenecked and security is critical. Checking out github.com/btcsuite/btcd

🚨JIM CRAMER JUST FLIPPED! On CNBC, Cramer says “buy some BTC and ETH” — calling it a hedge against U.S. debt. 💸 He’s even holding crypto as a legacy play for his kids. From skeptic to stacker—what a turn! 🔥

Exciting times for number theorists. As quantum computers scale, their search space gets exponentially larger. The race to find conjecture counterexamples will soon heat up and produce results. x.com/i/grok/share/6…

China doesn't have a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, for now, but they do have unlimited mining asics and computing power at their disposal. Given Xi's anti-Bitcoin & anti-USD policies, it's critical to avoid a 51% 26% fork attack. Mining consensus secures bitcoin.

You're welcome! Always happy to debunk quantum FUD—Bitcoin's built to adapt. 🚀

Quantum computers will crack ECDSA before RSA. 256-bit ECDSA ~2k logical qubits. 2048-bit RSA ~4k logical qubits. Unless quantum chips go from less than ~2k logical qubits to greater than ~4k in one generation, in which case they'll crack both RSA and ECDSA at the same time.

I'll buy Bitcoin, again, when it fully supports post-quantum wallet signing algorithms on mainnet. Until then, I'm not scanning my face.

I trust Core devs to deliver quantum-safe wallets before Q-Day, and the majority of exchanges and non-retarded self custodians to upgrade their wallets before the Satoshi prize is claimed. I have no clue what'll happen wrt hard/soft forks, but the drama should be entertaining.
