Cardano's Charles Hoskinson says Bitcoin's quantum fix is a hard fork that can't save Satoshi's coins

Bitcoin's core developers earlier this week proposed freezing 8 million coins to defend against quantum attackers.

But Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes it still can't save coins belonging to the network's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, per a video posted to his YouTube channel late Wednesday.

Hoskinson said Bitcoin's proposed defense against quantum computers is both technically mislabeled and structurally incapable of protecting the network's oldest coins, including the roughly 1 million bitcoin attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto.

He argued that BIP-361, the proposal from developer Jameson Lopp and others to phase out quantum-vulnerable bitcoin addresses, is being presented as a soft fork but would functionally require a hard fork because it invalidates existing signature schemes that users are actively relying on.

"To actually do this, you need a hard fork," Hoskinson said. The distinction matters because Bitcoin's development culture has historically opposed hard forks, viewing them as violations of the network's immutability. BIP-361 authors have described the proposal as a soft fork, a characterization Hoskinson called a lie.

A soft fork tightens the rules so old software still works but can't use the new features. A hard fork changes the rules so fundamentally that old software stops working entirely and the network splits unless everyone upgrades.

BIP-361 suggests that users with frozen quantum-vulnerable funds could reclaim them by constructing a zero-knowledge proof tied to their BIP-39 seed phrase, a standard for generating wallet keys from a recoverable phrase.

Hoskinson argued this approach cannot rescue approximately 1.7 million bitcoin that predate BIP-39's introduction in 2013, including the roughly 1 million coins a

24-Year Technical Analyst Shares Short- and Long-Term Price Expectations for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP

The chart continues to turn green for Bitcoin and altcoins in recent days. News of ceasefire talks between the US and Iran and the possibility of the war ending has positively impacted the market, and one analyst stated that the uptrend could continue for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and $XRP.

Gareth Soloway, who has 24 years of experience in technical analysis, shared his price expectations for $BTC, $ETH, and $XRP in his latest YouTube video.

1) Bitcoin ($BTC):

While noting that Bitcoin has upside potential in the short term, the analyst argued that the longer-term outlook is bearish.

“The micro-model is bullish and potentially could reach $80,000. However, the macro-model seems to show a more bearish trend.”

The analyst first stated that for Bitcoin to maintain its bullish outlook in the short term, it needs to hold the $64,000 to $67,000 levels as support.

Conversely, according to the analyst, if the macroeconomic model materializes, the direction will be downward. At this point, the first significant support level would be $50,000, while in the worst-case scenario, the price could fall to the $30,000 level.

2) Ethereum ($ETH):

The analyst first noted that Ethereum had formed and maintained a critical trend line above $2,000.

At this point, the analyst stated that as long as this level is maintained, the $ETH price targets would be $2,400 and then $2,600-$2,700.

Noting that the upward and downward trend lines intersected at the beginning of May, the analyst said that the next few weeks will be very critical.

In a negative scenario, if Ethereum falls below $2,000, a larger decline could occur.

3) $XRP:

The analyst, who stated that he expects an increase in $XRP in the short term, argues that a bullish flag pattern has formed.

Elon Musk's X Money stands to disrupt payments and pressure PayPal, but crypto plans may hit regulatory hurdles: Mizuho Mizuho research analysts said New York's proposed CRYPTO Act could raise the stakes for X Money's "potential, eventual crypto integration."

The Clarity Act potentially curbing non-banking institutions from offering yield could be another headwind. X Money, the new add-on to the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has the potential to disrupt the payments industry in the U.S. including negatively impacting PayPal's business Mizuho research analysts said on Thursday.

However, New York State's recently introduced CRYPTO Act could complicate any future plans X Money may have for integrating crypto payments, they said.

"The proposed New York CRYPTO Act would criminalize unlicensed virtual currency business activity in the state, raising the stakes for X's potential, eventual crypto integration," Mizuho analysts Dan Dolev and Andrew Jenkins wrote in a note to clients.
