Bitcoin’s security relies on elliptic curve cryptography, a one-way mathematical function that makes deriving a private key from a public key effectively impossible for traditional computers.

Shor’s algorithm allows a sufficiently powerful quantum computer to efficiently reverse this one-way function, turning a bitcoin public key into its corresponding private key and enabling theft.



A recent Google-led paper outlines a realistic attack in which a future quantum computer could, within about nine minutes, derive a private key from an exposed public key and potentially front-run or drain vulnerable bitcoin wallets.

Bitcoin falls back to $76,000 as Iran reportedly shuts Hormuz again

One of the biggest short squeezes of 2026 came and went in a single session.

Bitcoin climbed to $78,000 late Friday, triggering $762 million in liquidations across 168,336 traders with $593 million of that on the short side, per CoinGlass.

By Saturday evening hours in Asia, bitcoin had pulled back to $76,091, up just 0.8% on the day, as Iran broadcast that the Strait of Hormuz was closed to maritime traffic again less than 24 hours after its foreign minister declared it fully open.

The United Nations children's agency UNICEF has expressed outrage following the fatal shooting of two contracted truck drivers who were delivering clean water to families in the Gaza Strip. The deadly incident occurred on Friday morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza — a critical supply source for Gaza City residents — when Israeli fire struck the humanitarian convoy. Two additional workers sustained injuries in the attack.In response, UNICEF immediately suspended all operations at the site and issued an urgent call for Israeli authorities to launch a full investigation. The agency emphasized that under international humanitarian law, civilian aid workers, non-combatants, and essential water infrastructure must be protected at all times, regardless of ongoing military operations. Israel's embassy in Washington had not issued a response at the time of reporting.The attack comes amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that was established in October, effectively halting two years of full-scale military conflict. Despite the truce, Israeli forces continue to maintain control over a largely depopulated buffer zone covering more than half of the Gaza Strip, while Hamas retains authority over the remaining narrow coastal territory. The ceasefire has been repeatedly strained, with both sides accusing each other of violations.Since the ceasefire took effect, local medical sources report that more than 750 Palestinians have been killed, while Palestinian militants have claimed the lives of four Israeli soldiers. The continued violence raises serious concerns about the safety of humanitarian missions operating in the region and the broader protection of civilians caught in the conflict.International organizations continue to urge all parties to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure the uni

Сеть Lightning Network не «безнадежно сломана»

Несколько недель назад пост Уди Вертхаймера облетел заголовки криптомедиа, содержа резкое утверждение: сеть Lightning Network «безнадежно сломана» в постквантовом мире, и её разработчики ничего не могут с этим поделать. Заголовок быстро распространился. Для компаний, которые уже создали реальную платежную инфраструктуру на основе Lightning или оценивают её, последствия были тревожными.

Это заслуживает взвешенного ответа.

Вертхаймер — уважаемый разработчик Bitcoin, и его опасения вполне обоснованы: квантовые компьютеры, если они когда-нибудь станут достаточно мощными, представляют собой реальную долгосрочную проблему для криптографических систем, от которых зависят Bitcoin и Lightning. Эта часть верна, и сообщество разработчиков Bitcoin уже серьезно работает над этим. Но представление Lightning как «безнадежно сломанной» скрывает больше, чем раскрывает, и компании, принимающие решения по инфраструктуре, заслуживают более ясной картины.


Что Вертхаймер сказал правильно

Каналы Lightning требуют от участников обмена открытыми ключами со своим контрагентом при открытии платежного канала. В мире, где существуют криптографически значимые квантовые компьютеры (CRQC), злоумышленник, получивший эти открытые ключи, теоретически может использовать алгоритм Шора для получения соответствующего закрытого ключа и оттуда украсть средства.

Это реальное структурное свойство работы Lightning. Что упускает заголовок

Угроза гораздо более конкретна и гораздо более условна, чем «ваш баланс Lightning может быть украден».

Во-первых, сами каналы защищены хешем, пока они открыты. В транзакциях финансирования используется P2WSH (Pay-to-Witness-Script-Hash), что означает, что исходные открытые ключи внутри мультиподписной схемы 2-из-2 скрыты в блокчейне до тех пор, пока канал остается открытым. Платежи Lightning также основан

Recent on-chain data shows that Bitcoin miner selling pressure may be approaching exhaustion, potentially setting the stage for the market’s next upward phase. This development comes amid a resilient bullish performance by the leading cryptocurrency in April.

Reduced Mining Selling Weakens Pressure On Bitcoin
In a recent QuickTake post, analysts at XWIN Research Japan postulated that Bitcoin is now entering a phase of demand-led price expansion as the market structure begins to experience supply exhaustion. According to the market experts, data from WuBlockchain shows that publicly listed Bitcoin miners offloaded over 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026, in the largest quarterly outflow ever, in line with a structural market alignment.

Contributing factors to such a selling spree can be traced to the Bitcoin halving in 2024, when block rewards were reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, significantly cutting down revenue. Meanwhile, network hash rate continued rising, further squeezing profitability. As the hash price fell below breakeven levels, many miners were forced to liquidate holdings to maintain cash flow. In addition, some miners are diverting resources toward AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, accelerating Bitcoin’s distribution.

Notably, XWIN Research experts note that On-chain metrics also reinforce this narrative, as miners’ reserves have gradually declined, while net position change has remained negative. This combination confirms there has been sustained distribution over time. However, the more critical signal lies in recent flow dynamics. While the Miner Position Index (MPI) remains negative, the Miner Selling Power has dropped sharply, indicating that although miners have consistently offloaded their holdings, the intensity of selling is now weakening, i.e., the market is no longer faci

Ether has shown strong recovery momentum, climbing nearly 38% from its swing low of $1,750 to around $2,400, but the bigger picture suggests this move may be more than just short-term momentum. On-chain data is pointing toward a deeper structural shift, supported by growing network activity and long-term accumulation.

Daily active addresses have surged significantly, rising from around 384,000 to over 730,000 within a short period. This sharp increase reflects stronger user engagement on the Ethereum network, a signal that has historically appeared near major market bottoms before strong rallies. As price pushed toward the $2,300 level, network activity also expanded, reinforcing the bullish narrative.

At the same time, accumulation wallets have been steadily absorbing Ether. These wallets, known for holding without selling, have increased their total holdings by 6.5 million ETH since the start of the year, bringing the total to over 26 million ETH. This represents a 33% increase and highlights growing long-term confidence among investors. Daily inflows into these wallets remain strong, averaging around 200,000 ETH, with notable spikes exceeding 350,000 ETH in a single day.

Another supporting factor is the rise in staked Ether, which has now reached approximately 39.2 million ETH. This continued growth in staking indicates that investors are locking up their holdings rather than selling, effectively reducing liquid supply in the market. Additionally, Ether reserves on exchanges have dropped to multi-year lows, tightening available supply and potentially amplifying price movements during periods of increased demand.

What If a Quantum Computer Stole Your Bitcoin: How Classical Property Law Explains What Happens Next?

This article explores the legal implications and related laws of a hypothetical scenario where someone uses a quantum computer to steal Bitcoin.

The debate surrounding the quantumization of Bitcoin often veers off-topic because people are always discussing two distinct issues simultaneously.

One issue is technical: If quantum computing is powerful enough to crack Bitcoin's signature mechanism, how can the protocol respond? For example, new address types, migration rules, soft forks, abandonment mechanisms, key rotation, etc. This is indeed an engineering problem, but it remains an engineering problem.

The other issue is legal: Suppose someone uses a quantum computer to derive the private key of an old wallet and steals the Bitcoin within. What does this actually mean? Has he recovered abandoned property, or has he stolen someone else's Bitcoin?

In April 2026, the BIP-361 proposal recommended freezing over 6.5 million Bitcoins stored in quantum-vulnerable UTXOs, including an estimated 1 million Bitcoins associated with Satoshi Nakamoto. This is no longer just an abstract discussion, but a real struggle about ownership, forfeiture, and the meaning of property in a system that ultimately recognizes only control.

I don't intend to comment here on when a quantum computer capable of attacking Bitcoin will appear. The more specific question is paramount: if it does appear, and someone begins using quantum keys to transfer long-dormant Bitcoin, will the law consider it legitimate recovery or theft?

This answer will frustrate some Bitcoin holders because Bitcoin itself doesn't enforce ownership like a court does, but rather enforces control. If you can provide valid proof of expenditure, the network will accept the expenditure. But this highlights
