Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson used one of his most confrontational videos in recent memory to argue that Bitcoin’s long-running resistance to structural change has left it exposed to the quantum computing threat now surfacing in debate around BIP 361. His core claim was blunt: Bitcoin’s governance culture, not just its cryptography, is now the problem.

In the livestream, titled “BIP 361: Welcome to ShitcoinLand, Bitcoin,” Hoskinson framed the proposal as an overdue admission from parts of the Bitcoin world that quantum risk is no longer theoretical. The Cardano founder pointed to language in the proposal stating that, as of March 1, 2026, more than 34% of all Bitcoin had revealed public keys on-chain, leaving those UTXOs vulnerable to theft by an attacker with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. In his telling, that amounts to roughly 8 million BTC exposed to a future break in Bitcoin’s current signature assumptions.

BIP-361 proposes freezing every bitcoin that doesn’t migrate to a quantum-safe address within five years of activation. If you’re incapacitated, in prison, or simply unaware of the deadline, your coins aren’t stolen. They’re frozen by consensus.

Cardano Founder Attacks Bitcoin Developer Community
Hoskinson’s attack centered on two related claims. First, he argued that the response implied by BIP 361 would require a hard fork, even if described otherwise. Second, he said any forced migration to post-quantum addresses would create a deeper problem for coins held in older wallet formats that cannot be recovered through the kind of proof system he says the proposal imagines.

“There is some truth in here,” Hoskinson said. “As of March 1st, 2026, over 34% of all Bitcoin have revealed public key on chain... those UTXOs c

#Key Insights The TAO token of Bittensor falls over 20% post-exit of Covenant AI, citing governance issues. Fears of centralization impact the sentiment of the crypto market negatively. Currently, TAO is testing the $250-$263 support level, which requires a recovery above $280. Price Plunge for TAO Due to Governance Issues The native coin of Bittensor named TAO fell dramatically by more than 20% to reach approximately $273. This dramatic price plunge came as a rude shock to many traders after witnessing steady gains by the token. The reason behind this selloff could be the unexpected departure of Covenant AI from the Bittensor network. Although departures happen all the time in blockchain projects, the reason why this departure became noteworthy was due to the substantial reputation that Covenant AI holds in the ecosystem. Changes in Market Sentiment Happen Quickly The news about Covenant AI being accused spread quickly throughout cryptocurrency circles, leading to a swift change in market sentiments. Investors who used to consider Bittensor a potential decentralized AI platform started rethinking the possible dangers related to governance transparency and sustainability in the long run. Apart from damaging the reputation of the project, the departure of Covenant AI also led to negative changes in terms of finances. The organization is said to have liquidated a significant number of TAOs, putting additional pressure on the already falling price of the asset. Moreover, as soon as traders saw how Covenant AI sold its tokens, they rushed to do the same to avoid losses. Thus, the market sentiment worsened quickly. The governance mechanism of Bittensor was accused of centralization and failing to distribute governance among many members of the network. Liquidity Puts Downward Pressure on TAO Price This led to massive selling by leveraged investors whose trades depended on further increases in the price. Their exits accelerated the downward trend. In other words, forced l
