@Geigenvector @modernalkemist @42_gravity the problem is that string theory is already pretty old, it also originates from the 60s

@modernalkemist @42_gravity You see, so was neural nets from the 60s

We are entering a completely new era of science Here is Yuji Tachikawa from Japan (Mathematical Physics, String Theory, QFT) on recent progress in his own work using Fable 5 : "I've been trying out Claude Fable recently, and last night, on a whim, I showed it my research notes about a collaborative project that's seen no progress in the past six months or so and asked for its thoughts. To my surprise, it made a non-trivial observation and essentially solved it." "I was also surprised that it was using sympy to automatically write code and verify his own predictions." "Fable probably seems like it properly understands string theory and has intuition too—that's my impression"

The European Commission literally shut off air conditioning but only for floors 1-7, where people of lower rank work.

C'est bel et bien confirmé : l'Iran impose les paiements en Bitcoin pour les cargaisons qui transitent par le détroit d'Ormuz. Pendant que BlackRock, Larchevêque et les autres moon boys essaient de te vendre du Bitcoin papier sous tutelle de l'État, les mollahs viennent de démontrer pourquoi Bitcoin a été inventé: transacter en P2P, sans intermédiaire, en dehors du système bancaire. Là, c'est pas Saylor qui rachète du Bitcoin pour gonfler son bilan et faire un PowerPoint à Vegas. C'est pas une boîte du S&P500 qui diversifie sa trésorerie pour faire plaisir à ses actionnaires. C'est un État en guerre contre l'empire américano-sioniste, dont les comptes ont été gelés, l'or saisi et qui a été exclu du réseau bancaire SWIFT, qui se tourne vers Bitcoin parce qu'il a plus le choix. Parce que Bitcoin est le seul actif liquide qu'on peut pas confisquer, qu'on peut pas geler, et qui a zéro risque de contrepartie.

@Thomas23353301 @MichaelAArouet compared to France, Norway is a libertarian country

@MichaelAArouet Hi Michael! Socialism here in Norway has made us very rich.

What a chart. France has never recovered from Mitterrand's socialist victory in 1981, with welfare expansions, minimum wage hikes, a shorter workweek and public-sector jobs creation. Socialism always makes you poorer. Isn't it ironic that Germany now wants to follow this path?

@G_deVarenne le minitel de l'IA

🔴INSOLITE — Quasi personne n’a assisté à la Keynote d’Arthur Mensch, le patron de Mistral AI, pourtant présentée comme un champion français de l’IA. La bullshit nation a ses limites.

This might actually be the funniest LinkedIn post I've ever seen

@lopp At least we know why now: some tax collectors are selling personal infos to criminals to commit targeted wrench attacks.

Not even 2 weeks into 2026 and there have already been 3, possibly 4, crypto wrench attacks in France. Not a great start.

@rstchristopher @MelMattison1 Interesting... I need to update my knowledge on this stuff

Taproot no, segwit yes. Spending from a segwit address (bc1q..), you’d have a theoretical ~10-minute window of vulnerability — to be precise, however long your txn was in the mempool before being included in a block, and the attacker would need to RBF your txn (that is, spend it first) — if you really wanted to close that theoretical QC vulnerability, use taproot addresses (bc1p…), which will not reveal the public key. Taproot addresses also hide whether it’s singlesig, multisig, and in general have slightly lower fees than segwit. I think adoption away from Segwit has been slow because these kind of risks have never materialized (and fees have consistently been low). But if there’s ever a serious breakthrough in QC then I’m sure that would change quickly.

Bitcoin can be decrypted is the word from Dalio. If people are selling BTC on quantum decryption, they should be selling the hell out of every bank on the planet. JPM should be down 20%. Every account will be hackable. And more so... BTC is SHA-256 which is tougher than RSA.

@rstchristopher @MelMattison1 but if you have an address (that you have never used before) with bitcoin on it, and want to spend it, you need to show your public key so that your transaction joins the mempool. During 10 minutes this public key is up for grab by QC. Or am i missing smth?

That’s why I mentioned address reuse. If you’ve spent from an address, don’t reuse it, because your public key has already been exposed. This is the recommended approach independently of QC, but it just so happens that the double hash of a public key in P2PKH is already quantum resistant.

@rstchristopher @MelMattison1 correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't your public key get revealed when doing a transaction, even with P2PKH? In that case a quantum computer would reverse the public key and claim the bitcoin with higher fees.

Friendly reminder that even the most advanced quantum “computers” cannot do basic arithmetic. They cannot do the forward calculation on Bitcoin’s elliptical curve, let alone a reverse. This means you can give a quantum computer your *private* key and it still can’t access your funds. We are closer to warp drives and cold fusion and time travel than quantum computers are to cracking even unusable weak versions of RSA, let alone a robust elliptical curve like secp256k1 (used by Bitcoin). And EVEN IF such a quantum computer could break secp256k1, which at the moment is not in any way possible, as long as you’re not re-using addresses your Bitcoin would still be safe, because the existing P2PKH schemes are already quantum resistant. I understand not everyone is mathematically literate, but the level of stupidity on this topic (and quantum computers) is ridiculous. You’re better off fear mongering about Bitcoin being vulnerable to time travel.

@AnonSaged @naadu_nudi no it's the car from back to the future

@naadu_nudi Isn't a Bangalorean a Star Wars character?

@willywoo because the price follows a power-law, not an exponential. If you look at a log-log plot (normalized at 2009-01-01) this is a straight line.

Why is BTC moving up so slowly this cycle? BTC supply is concentrated around OG whales who peaked their holdings in 2011 (orange and dark orange). They bought their BTC at $10 or lower. It takes $110k+ of new capital to absorb each BTC they sell.

@BitcoinNewsCom the rats are starting to eat the rat poison

@TemDipsitter @Giovann35084111 the mathematical function itself is called "power-law", it's not a term specific to bitcoin whatsoever

@Giovann35084111 “Power Law” is a misleading term – it’s an empirical model, not a law. In scenarios like hyperinflation, the model would be worthless, as it’s based on an unstable unit of measurement (Dollar).

This is a cool way to see the power law. The change in price over time. This is also a power law because it is the derivative of a power law. If the power law in price is a power law of 5.8, then the change is also a power law with power 4.8 (so the change is slower than the price itself).

@BullBitcoinFR "Reins"

Certains n'ont pas le sens des priorités #Bitcoin

BREAKING: New Hampshire Governor signs HB 302, creating the nation’s first state‑level Bitcoin & Digital Asset Reserve Fund. Treasurer may place up to 5 % of total funds into BTC or any asset with a $500B+ market cap (right now, only Bitcoin). Law takes effect in 60 days.

@SteveSimple are you able to do it for several currencies? or is it just dominated by dollar transaction

@Jaquedtits @Vivek4real_ quite the contrary, he gave lectures about blockchains at MIT

@Vivek4real_ WHAT?! He was like notoriously anti-Bitcoin wasn’t he?!

🇺🇸 EX SEC CHAIR GARY GENSLER JUST REVEALED HE IS A #BITCOIN MAXIMALIST 🤯 THIS IS WILD!!!

@Zugr254066 @BitcoinNewsCom can it achieve global adoption without people using it for its main purpose, which is to spend it?

@BitcoinNewsCom Buy it, earn it, hoard it, hold it. Spend it when it reaches a stable fair value and achieves global adoption—still far from now.

These results were a bit shocking. It’s not a crime to circulate Bitcoin.
