Bitcoin Hits $78K as Trump Says Strait of Hormuz Is Fully Open
Bitcoin surged on April 17 after the US President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz was open again and shipping passage was being restored.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that Iran had announced the strait was “fully open and ready for full passage.” He added that sea mines had been removed, or were being removed, with the help of the United States.

Earlier today, Trump posted again that Chinese President Xi Jinping was “very happy” that the Strait of Hormuz was open or rapidly opening. He also said that a meeting coming up in China could be historic.

The market reacted fast as Bitcoin jumped to a 10-week high above $78,000, reaching around $78,400 for the first time since February 4.

At press time, $BTC is trading at $77,163 and is up 3% on the day. Over the past seven days, Bitcoin has been up 6.37%. Ethereum rose 3% after the announcement and is up 5.88% over the weekly period.

Why Markets Moved So Fast

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important oil shipping routes in the world, carrying roughly one-fifth of global crude supply.

Any threat to the route can push oil prices higher and pressure global markets. Reopening the passage reduces supply fears and lowers immediate stress in risk assets.

The rally also came as Trump claimed more progress in talks with Iran. He said both sides would work together to clear mines from the strait.

Trump also said a permanent peace deal between the US, Israel, and Iran was “mostly complete,” with more talks likely this weekend. He added Iran had agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely and would not receive frozen US funds.

Conflicting Signals Remain

The rally came despite mixed responses from Tehran. Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian rejected claims that the strait was fully open.

He said Iran would continue charging tolls on commercial shipping, and state-linked media reportedly repeated that pos

How a quantum computer can be used to actually steal your bitcoin in '9 minutes'


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, as identified by Google's recent quantum computing paper.

The one-way map

Bitcoin uses a system called elliptic curve cryptography to prove who owns what. Every wallet has two keys. A private key, which is a secret number, 256 digits long in binary, roughly as long as this sentence. A public key is derived from the private key by performing a mathematical operation on the specific curve called "secp256k1."

Think of it as a one-way map. Start at a known location on the curve that everyone agrees on, called the generator point G (as shown in the chart below). Take a private number of steps in a pattern defined by the curve's math. The number of steps is your private key. Where you end up on the curve is your public key (point K in the chart). Anyone can verify that you ended up at that specific location. Nobody can figure out how many steps you took to get there.

Technically, this is written as K = k × G, where k is your private key and K is your public key. The "multiplication" is not regular multiplication but a geometric operation where you repeatedly add a point to itself along the curve. The result lands on a seemingly random spot that only your specific number k wo

Senate Clears 10-Day FISA Stopgap After House Revolt Sinks Longer Deal



The Senate passed a 10-day FISA extension 2026 by voice vote Friday, keeping the surveillance program alive until April 30 after a bloc of 20 House Republicans overnight derailed both a five-year and an 18-month renewal that Speaker Johnson and the White House had spent a week negotiating.

The Senate cleared a FISA extension 2026 stopgap by voice vote Friday morning, buying Congress until April 30 after an all-night collapse on Capitol Hill left two separate long-term renewal attempts in ruins. The measure goes to President Trump for signature before the program’s Monday expiration.

Section 702 allows US spy agencies including the CIA, NSA, and FBI to collect foreign communications without a warrant, including those of Americans in contact with targeted foreigners. Intelligence officials have called it the single most important national security tool the country has. “FISA is the single most important national security asset we have in the intelligence field,” said Sen. Angus King of Maine, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. “It constitutes a very high percentage of the president’s daily brief.”

What Collapsed Overnight

Johnson entered Thursday evening believing a deal was in hand. Shortly before midnight, GOP leaders unveiled a revised five-year extension designed to win over privacy hawks. It failed. They then tried an 18-month clean renewal that Trump had demanded. That failed 197-228 on the procedural vote, with 20 Republicans joining most Democrats in opposition.

At 2:09 AM Friday, the House passed the 10-day stopgap by unanimous consent. The Senate convened a rare Friday session hours later and approved it the same way.

Trump had pressured Republicans all week through Truth Social posts, CIA Director John Ratcliffe briefed lawmakers directly on Wednesday

#Oil prices dipped modestly during Asian trading on Thursday as investors closely monitored diplomatic developments between the United States and Iran ahead of a critical ceasefire deadline set for April 21. West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped 0.4% to $90.90 per barrel at around 19:42 ET, reflecting ongoing market caution. Traders remained on edge as peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran showed limited progress following weekend talks. President Donald Trump expressed cautious optimism, suggesting that additional discussions could occur within days and that a resolution to the conflict might be within reach. However, uncertainty persists as the U.S. simultaneously confirmed a full naval blockade against Iran move analysts say could complicate diplomatic efforts. Some relief came from reports indicating that several ships and oil tankers successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz during the week. Additionally, Reuters reported that Iran may be open to permitting free passage on the Omani side of the strait as part of a potential peace agreement a a development that could ease supply concerns if confirmed. Despite a fragile ceasefire holding as of early Thursday, with no new military strikes reported since late last week, markets remained cautious. News that the U.S. was considering deploying over 10,000 additional troops to the region raised fresh fears of escalation.Crude oil had surged to $120 per barrel following the outbreak of hostilities in late February, but prices have since pulled back amid emergency reserve releases by major economies. Both the International Energy Agency and OPEC flagged softer global demand outlooks tied to war-related disruptions.
