“Hierarchies are celestial. In hell all are equal.” - Nicolás Gómez Dávila
Cryptography is a never-ending game of cat and mouse. • WEP was cracked by 2001 • MD5 was broken by 2004 • SHA-1 fell in 2017 RSA and ECC won’t be exceptions, sufficiently powerful quantum computers will break them too. That’s why crypto-agility matters. It’s a core feature…

Why Does Quantum Resistance Matter For Blockchains? In our latest video, we cover why post-quantum security isn’t just a theoretical debate anymore. Whether or not you believe quantum computers pose an immediate threat, governments and standards bodies aren’t waiting around.…
Quantum breaks of the asymmetric encryption that Bitcoin uses are a possible explanation
Not trying to FUD or sound schizo but it's actually concerning that multiple Satoshi-era wallets are exiting entirely. These are OG cypherpunks from a tight-knit circle who might collectively know something insane like BTC has a fatal flaw or Satoshi is about to reactivate.
Most cryptos are scrambling to update their chains before quantum computing breaks their encryption. QRL has been quantum-secure at the protocol level since 2018. A rare hedge for any future-proof portfolio. #Crypto #QRL #QuantumRisk #SatoshiNakatomo

It only makes sense if there's urgency, perhaps you’re not the original owner & have no intention of preserving network value. Could be an early hybrid quantum or classical AI cryptanalysis. When the cost basis is near zero, a few hundred million in slippage seem irrelevant.
How on earth is it a good idea to dump 80,000 BTC on the spot market? Why not use an OTC deal or break it up into several smaller trades? The slippage alone cost over $200 million!

JUST IN: Another $1,000,000,000 in Tether has just been minted out of thin air and injected into Bitcoin to keep it afloat.
The people who are telling you to “Keep calm and HODL Bitcoin” aren’t going to reimburse your generational wealth when it’s stolen. Enjoy what gains you may now, but you might want to hedge with something else like @QRLedger . Even banks will be more secure than BTC.
According to @IonQ_Inc 's roadmap, secp32k1 could be broken in 2026-27, whereas secp256k1 (Bitcoin) would break around 2028-29.

Every step forward in quantum computing makes today’s cryptography more fragile. #QDay isn’t a question of if, but when. $QRL was built for that timeline, not caught off guard by it. Now with the release of #Zond testnet v1, developers can build dApps using EVM smart contracts…

Quantum computing might be incredibly complex, but securing your project from the Quantum Threat doesn’t need to be. #QRL offers comprehensive documentation, APIs, and tools to streamline building, deploying, and managing quantum-secure digital assets.…
#Ethereum is preparing for quantum threats and that’s good news. mitrade.com/insights/news/… But let’s be honest, retrofitting #quantum resistance onto a live chain with exposed keys isn’t exactly ideal. At $QRL, we started quantum-safe. No legacy baggage, no compromises. With…
The upcoming $QRL Zond hardfork will allow blockchain developers to create dApps with EVM smart contract capability and a robust web3 API on a quantum safe backbone. #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Quantum #Qday #Zond
