bitcoin (and satoshi's coins) leaked from an NSA lab by a rogue, altruistic cryptographer in 2008 in 2028, NSA cryptographers will return those coins to their rightful home: Fort Meade, Maryland

whether or not this is true, consider the following: - theres $100b+ of abandoned, quantum vulnerable coins - the US G has a strategic imperative to seize and hold seized BTC - if we don't do it, someone else will think about it.

See the report for methodology -> https://t.co/xqwMEczZf3 A lot of people got confused about this because how can stablecoins "only" do ~$100b annually (our report) but also do $10T (general stablecoin txn value if you look at artemis or allium data)? The answer is we are

Artemis team refreshed our stablecoin payments data from earlier this year. Unsurprisingly, stablecoins continue to crush it on many domains especially b2b

i'm going to elaborate on the these firms in Part II of my Quantum and Bitcoin series but suffice to say as a quantum break nears, the value of unclaimed/ancient bitcoin starts to be incorporated into their stock price

after the Trump-Intel deal I decided the next obvious candidate was IBM as quantum is a matter of national security (can prove with screenshots + timestamps but don't think I need to) also long RGTI and IONQ not investment advice obviously these got shellacked in the last week

This is the best lay-person explanation of elliptic curve cryptography I have read. Kudos to Nic. Very hard to make this scrutable for non-mathematicians.

This essay is actually just a primer on Bitcoin's security but I think that's a pre-requisite before we actually dive into quantum, timelines, probabilities, and then how to address it. It's also really fun to learn about elliptic curves. Shame they only have a few years left.

Seeing a real live intricate jewelry heist happen is kind of quaint and nostalgic. They could have set up a SIM farm and phished thousands of old people but they went full Danny Ocean instead
