As Saylor now controls more than 4% of all Bitcoin and promotes an 11.5% dividend, does anyone else have Terra flashbacks?

Bitcoin researchers propose BIP-361 to freeze quantum vulnerable wallets + phased sunset of legacy signatures
BIP-361 proposes a staged Bitcoin migration away from current legacy signatures toward post-quantum-safe ones. First it would stop sending to quantum-vulnerable addresses, then after a long notice period it would make old ECDSA/Schnorr spends invalid, effectively forcing holders, wallets, exchanges, and custodians to migrate before a deadline
Quantum computing progress could eventually threaten Bitcoin UTXOs with exposed public keys, so the goal is to reduce the attack surface early and give the ecosystem a clear migration timeline instead of waiting for an emergency

this + quote tweets is maybe the best encapsulation ever of why the "but you can't use it to pay for coffee" point was so silly

I just won $100 in BTC in a giveaway on X. Not for the first time either.
If you had subscribed to Thought Crime Trap House you would know that entering legitimate giveaways during a bear market are a great way to earn non kyc sats. Less competition for entries during the bear means higher odds. A few weeks ago Perptual Cow gave out thousands of dollars in XMR in a giveaway that only had 100 people enter it after the bots were filtered out. That's 1/100 odds...which is pretty good for a 10k usd payout.
From TCTH #6:
Giveaways/Contests: This is still good to do during the bear market, when dying projects are desperate for engagement on social media and do contests that like 8 people enter. Even during the bull market, you can still find really good odds of winning sometimes. Look for giveaways or contests that require very little effort and have low engagement on the annoucement tweet. I try to look for 1/500 odds or better. You can ignore 99% of giveaway posts because they are fake and are doing two things, farming engagement and farming addresses to sell to scammers. A fake giveaway will be like "comment your Ethereum address to win 4 ETH" with no obvious marketing reason behind it by a random account. People comment their addresses, and the scammers link addresses with handles, check the balances, and use your balances to target you for scam airdrops or phishing attempts.
Instead look for legitimate projects, wallets, founders, etc who are doing realistic give aways or contests to promote their project or wallet. @vikrantnyc the cake wallet guy does Monero giveaways all the time for example. Sometimes you will see POW contests, like writing a twitter thread, best meme contests, or logo designs. If you find a legitimate giveaway or contest to enter, make a seperate wallet just for giveaways and contests.

So the RBI has rolled out the eRupee. It's supposed to be a digital cash.
There is no decentralised solution to the double spend except bitcoin PoW, so eRupee is centralized. This makes it a poor substitute for cash. Fully monitored.
We may become a China clone with none of the development of China.
