Bit Paine ⚡️

Sometimes I pause and reflect on the fact that my entire financial portfolio is currently composed of 1) an imaginary Internet ponzi coin and 2) the stock of a company famous for having the largest peak-to-trough drawdown in the history of financial market bubbles, and whose CEO is currently leveraged to the tits on the same Internet Ponzi coin (which he refers to as “the goddess of truth”), and that I consider this a sound financial strategy with a virtually 100% chance of retiring my bloodline.

This is what the Islamic Republic did to Iranians just two months ago. Weird how war crimes and the Geneva Convention were never brought up.

Iran has... > Shut down international shipping > Targeted civilian infrastructure > Attacked countries that did not aggress against it > Used human shields to defend military infrastructure But that's okay! Only America is capable of violating international law.

@Giovann35084111 maybe Italy isn’t so bad after all

okay maybe power law is infallible (she’s italian)

Bitcoin dipping with $STRC holding above par is a best case scenario for $MSTR shareholders.

This is crazy for so many reasons… 1) if you think he’s wiping Iran off the map. Please ask your boss to fire you. 2) I’ve seen this movie so many times. Trump wants 10, says he wants 100, and ends up with 20. 3) The fact that it keeps working and his opponents still think there’s a sliver of a chance he does the level 100 thing is Trump wizardry.

Calling it now.

Stop the escalation. End the war now. No one wants this.

I always thought horseshoe theory was a bunch of nonsense until I witnessed guys with names like “EvolanGroyper1488” write things that are entirely indistinguishable from an Occupy Democrats menopausal wine mom Facebook post.

@GoldsDigitalBTC That Palestinians are war criminals using human shields? Yes.

@BitPaine You understand what you're admitting to right now, right?

I see the IRGC has adopted the Palestinian mode of warfare.

Two quantum x crypto papers dropped last week and crypto Twitter has been spiraling. I am Jose Mourinho when I dive into crypto conversations. “If I speak, I am in big trouble. In big trouble." And here we go... 🎶 The estimate for how many qubits you'd need to break Bitcoin's cryptography just fell from millions… to 10,000. And 9 minutes to crack it? BTC devs are screaming FUD and conspiracy! That we hate crypto (I love crypto, unpopular opinion in the quantum community, sorry...) This is from a Caltech + @TeamOratomic paper (arxiv.org/abs/2603.28627) using neutral atom qubits and a new error correction architecture. Google Quantum AI published a companion whitepaper (lnkd.in/gVsW7AWg) the same week. Oratomic used Google's circuits and showed you could run them with 50x fewer qubits. I promised you all that I'd let you know when this timeline got real for crypto. It just got really real for me. The qubit requirements for Shor's algorithm have dropped five orders of magnitude in two decades. "Still two orders of magnitude left" doesn't comfort me much here. ~6.9M BTC sitting in exposed addresses. Harvest now, decrypt later attackers already stockpiling encrypted data today. Satoshi's coins are a mess. Three points I'm frustrated by: 1. "But Bitcoin will be the least of our problems if quantum computers can crack encryption!" The internet is already upgrading. Over 50% of human initiated Cloudflare traffic is PQC. iMessage, WhatsApp, Chrome, all transitioning. BTC is screaming they don't care. 2. Someone said “We figured out how to make the algorithm that breaks Bitcoin run more efficiently…on a quantum computer that'll never actually exist.” — Google. Except Google recently acquired Atlantic Quantum, a superconducting qubit company, and is now kicking off a neutral atom quantum computer buildout. 3. "But if this becomes real, the price will crash and it'll be pointless anyway." Maybe that's the point? Does any world government actually want a fully decentralized currency to survive? Who benefits from that outcome? Not us. I was in DC last week, and discussions on re-authorizing the National Quantum Initiative Act are happening. Look, what I learned is, if you want people to listen and agree in DC? Just say "China". Quantum is a national security issue. The BTC community pushback has been intense. I get it. But the answer isn't to argue about the timeline, it's to build systems that can swap cryptographic primitives when the standard changes. NIST has already finalized post-quantum standards. CNSA 2.0 mandates the transition for national security systems.

It's only a war crime if the Americans or Israelis do it, otherwise it's just sparkling infrastructure destruction.

The wartime equivalent of suicidal empathy is giving crazed 8th Century mullahs a pass when they murder 30,000 of their own citizens while calling an American precision strike on a bridge a “war crime."

@mattoshi21 Notice what the women here are wearing. It’s a clue.

@BitPaine Yet they are desperate to be bombed, huh?

I don't have time to argue with Islamic Republic fans. I just block them.

The left is rallying around Iran, a country that still stones women to death for adultery.

BREAKING: Live look at accounts posting “Iran is winning.”

It's genocide when Trump posts a tweet, but not when some 40,000 Iranians are being slaughtered by the Iranian Regime. Weird.

از قلب تهران براتون توییت میزنم امشب هر اتفاقی ممکنه بیوفته و این شاید اخرین توییتی باشه که میزنم صرفا خواستم بگم برای به دست آوردن آزادی تک تمون باید هزینه بدیم بی برقی و بی آبیو تحمل میکنیم اما جمهوری اسلامی رو نه یا مرگ یا پیروزی✌️
