Part 1 of this series explained what quantum computers actually are. Not just faster versions of regular computers, but a fundamentally different kind of machine that exploits the weird rules of physics that only apply at the scale of atoms and particles.But knowing how a quantum computer works does not tell you how it can be used to steal bitcoin by a bad actor. That requires understanding what it is actually attacking, how bitcoin’s security is built, and exactly where the weakness sits.This piece starts with bitcoin’s encryption and works through to the nine-minute window it takes to break it,…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Amid the growing recognition of the blockchain sector, the Ethereum network continues to be at the forefront of the growth, securing more user activity than most networks. The most recent aspect being dominated by the leading network is validator distribution, which makes it a leader in decentralized applications (dApps) activity. Validator Distribution Strength Puts Ethereum On Top The Ethereum network has emerged with another reason why it is considered the leading blockchain across the entire cryptocurrency sector. After a wave of demand, a significant milestone has now…

Data shows the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has edged into the negative territory, a sign that could prove to be bearish for the asset’s price. Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Has Declined Recently As highlighted by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in an X post, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has seen a flip for the first time in nine days. The “Coinbase Premium Gap” here refers to an indicator that measures the difference between the BTC price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair). When the value of this metric is positive, it means the cryptocurrency is…

There are 21 million bitcoin. That number is fixed, coded into the protocol, finite. It is one of the most consequential design decisions in the history of money, and yet for most people it remains an abstraction. Green digits cascading down a black screen like something out of The Matrix, or a talking point tossed around on a podcast. The Japanese artist On Kawara spent nearly fifty years hand-painting a date onto a canvas every day — if he didn’t finish by midnight, he destroyed it. Anik Malcolm spent 900 hours painting 21 million beads. The impulse is the same:…

Worldcoin fell 13.4% to roughly $0.28 on Friday as World, the identity-focused company led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, unveiled several new integrations for its “proof of human” stack, which uses iris-scanning technology to verify identities.Video conferencing tool Zoom is integrating World’s Deep Face authentication to prevent deepfakes, while electronic signature platform Docusign is adding World’s ID verification tech to digital agreements, World said on Friday. Dating app Tinder is also expanding its World ID verification to US users.“As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of real people, the infrastructure to prove a human stands behind each agent becomes critical,” World…

Leading bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR) has filed a proxy that, if approved, would allow for semi-monthly dividends on its STRC “Stretch” series of preferred stock.The move would have no effect on STRC’s annual dividend obligations or dividend rate (currently 11.5%), noted Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Instead, he said, “[the] proposed changes are intended to stabilize price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity, and grow demand.”The high-yielding stock has been exceptionally popular, with outstanding notional value rising to $6.4 billion as of this afternoon’s filing, according to a presentation.Volatility has dropped to just 2.1% over the past two months versus 13% in…

Ethereum has started to show signs of life again after weeks of muted price action, but one analyst believes the current move is only the beginning of something much larger. This inclination is based on a technical setup built around a hidden inefficiency zone after the Ethereum price recently broke above $4,500. The technical analysis shows that the unfilled gap may be the first waypoint in a recovery that eventually pushes the ETH price to five figures above $10,000. The FVG Zone Now Acting As A Magnet Technical analysis done by crypto analyst Crypto Patel laid out a path to…

A crypto market commentator behind the High Altitude Investing YouTube channel says Dogecoin may be setting up for a sharp upside move, pointing to a mix of short-term technical signals and a longer-term chart pattern he argues resembles earlier breakout structures seen in Bitcoin and XRP. In a video from April 17, the analyst framed the meme coin’s current setup as both a near-term trading opportunity and a broader cycle call, arguing that Dogecoin’s correction may be complete and that the asset could ultimately target levels above $2, with a more aggressive long-range scenario reaching $3 to $5. Why Dogecoin…

Bitcoin’s quantum debate keeps slipping sideways because people keep arguing about two different things at once. One question is technical: if quantum computing gets good enough to break Bitcoin’s signature scheme, the protocol can respond. New address types, migration rules, soft forks, deprecations, key rotation. That is a real engineering problem, but it is still an engineering problem. The other question is legal: suppose someone uses a quantum computer to derive the private key for an old wallet and sweep the coins. What, exactly, just happened? Did he recover abandoned property, or did he steal someone else’s bitcoin? In April…
