Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Founding partner at Castle Island Ventures Nic Carter has laid out what he sees as three plausible paths for Bitcoin as the industry moves toward post-quantum cryptography: freeze vulnerable early coins, leave them untouched and accept the consequences, or pursue a legal “salvage” process that avoids a protocol-level confiscation.The debate matters because, in Carter’s framing, roughly 1.7 million BTC in old pay-to-pubkey outputs could become exposed if Bitcoin eventually deprecates elliptic curve signatures and a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives. The Third Option In Bitcoin’s Satoshi Coin BattleIn a post on X, Carter argued that the Overton window around quantum risk has shifted quickly. What was recently treated as a fringe concern, he wrote, is now increasingly being discussed as an eventual engineering and governance problem for Bitcoin itself. “The thing about the PQ transition is, it’s impossible as a Bitcoiner to claim that this protocol is cutting edge technology if Bitcoin, a monetary system predicated entirely on cryptography, is a laggard,” he wrote, adding that betting the fate of the network on the hope that the technology does not advance would be both reckless and embarrassing.Related Reading: Cardano Founder Says Bitcoin Has Entered ‘Shitcoin Land’From there, Carter sketched the upgrade path he expects. After a soft fork, Bitcoin would likely move through an intermediate phase in which users could sign with existing ECC-based schemes or with new post-quantum signatures. Eventually, he wrote, legacy signatures such as ECDSA and Schnorr would be disallowed entirely. That transition, in his telling, is the easy part. The harder question comes later: what to do with coins that never migrate.He framed that dispute as a clash bet

Tesla is actively recruiting semiconductor engineers in Taiwan for its ambitious Terafab project — a fully vertically integrated AI chip manufacturing facility that aims to consolidate logic, memory, packaging, testing, and lithography mask production under a single roof. The company has listed nine specialized engineering roles on its website, targeting candidates with at least five years of hands-on experience in advanced chipmaking processes.Taiwan's appeal is no coincidence. The island nation is home to TSMC, the world's dominant contract chipmaker, and boasts a deep talent pool with proven expertise in leading-edge semiconductor fabrication. Several of Tesla's open positions specifically call for experience in sub-7-nanometre manufacturing nodes, with references to 2-nanometre-class technologies — areas where Taiwan's chip industry holds a significant global edge.CEO Elon Musk publicly introduced the Terafab initiative last month, framing it as a cornerstone of Tesla's broader robotics and data center strategy. The facility is designed to produce a diverse portfolio of chips, including edge-inference processors, radiation-hardened semiconductors for orbital satellites, and high-bandwidth memory solutions.The engineering roles span critical front-end fabrication disciplines such as lithography, etching, thin-film deposition, chemical mechanical planarization, yield engineering, and process integration. Notably, at least one position requires familiarity with TSMC-developed advanced packaging technologies, including CoWoS and SoIC — signaling Tesla's intent to leverage cutting-edge interconnect innovations.This recruitment drive reflects the surging global demand for AI chips and the growing pressure on existing chipmaking capacity. When asked about Terafab, TSMC acknowledged the competitive landscape but noted there are no shortcuts in semiconductor ma

In a classic example of long-term crypto gains, an investment in Ripple’s XRP made five years ago in 2020 has delivered nearly 700% returns. Investors who held through multiple market cycles over the past six years have been significantly rewarded, highlighting how patience in volatile assets can sometimes lead to substantial gains.
Back in April 2020, XRP was trading around $0.18, according to historical data from CoinGecko. Fast forward to 2026, and the price is now hovering near $1.43, representing roughly a sevenfold increase.
For comparison, the S&P 500 has gained about 185% over the same period, meaning XRP has outperformed traditional equities by roughly 3.5 times in terms of returns.
At its peak in July 2025, when XRP briefly reached $3.65, the token had delivered gains of nearly 1,930% from its 2020 levels. At that point, a $10,000 investment would have grown to over $200,000. Even at current levels, that same investment would still be worth around $80,000.
Should investors consider XRP again?
At the moment, XRP is trading in a relatively tight range near $1.43, showing signs of consolidation. Some analysts suggest that buying on dips could be a viable strategy, especially if macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain in the short term.
However, volatility remains a key factor. Broader market pressures could still push prices lower before any sustained upward move.
On the positive side, Ripple continues to expand its financial services and institutional partnerships, which could support long-term demand for XRP if adoption continues to grow.
From a long-term perspective, some investors believe holding XRP through the next decade (2032–2036) could be potentially rewarding, especially if blockchain adoption accelerates globally.
Still, like all crypto assets, XRP remains highly speculative, #Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge .
