ICON has unveiled a next-gen construction 3D printer that replaces older gantry systems. Moving on tracks between sites, it cuts setup time and labor. With a 70-ft print radius, it can build multi-story structures up to 27 ft tall and 110 ft long faster and cheaper.

After spending time with the Big Brains, some additional thoughts on $BTC and quantum: *Everyone relevant is taking this seriously *There is more realism that blockchains have unique challenges compared to banks and tech companies *There are off-the-shelf solutions and lots of things in development, so conceptually it’s just an engineering project … *… But all the options include trade offs, and we may end up with some combination of bigger blocks and more complexity *The choice of digital signature scheme for each blockchain will reveal something about their priorities around security/resilience vs performance *Will $BTC choose the burn, steal, or hourglass proposal for Satoshi’s coins? Likely all of the above, in the sense that there will be forks, and community/market will decide which one is “best” *There is no strong grassroots consensus at this point on burn/steal/hourglass … * … but “burn” (or “freeze”) brings out the most passion (because feeling that it infringes property rights) *Everyone is aware of the Blocksize War tensions and last year’s debacle over OP_Return; as a result (some) people are taking more care to communicate thoughtfully on quantum topics *My two cents: there is lot of work to do, but blockchains will be fine, and this is not biggest problem for $BTC (in my view it’s limited adoption so far as payments medium)

And folks are worried about Satoshi's coins being sold... Market will absorb them just fine. Spoonful of cement, and harden up.

Jane Street was making $10 BILLION quarterly with this manipulation shit. Buy spot, open a huge short, then dump the spot in one click on negative news, create more panic, close the short, print billions. Rinse and repeat.

NEW: Bitcoin Devs take steps to address the Quantum threat 👀 An updated version of BIP 360 has been merged into the official Bitcoin BIPs repository. The proposal introduces Pay to Merkle Root, or P2MR, a new opt in output type that removes Taproot’s quantum vulnerable key path spend while maintaining compatibility with Tapscript and script trees. Key updates: • Removes Taproot’s quantum exposed key path in a separate new output type • Lays groundwork for post quantum signature schemes using Tapscript and script tree optionality at spend time • Implemented as a soft fork, existing Taproot outputs remain unaffected • Adds Isabel Foxen Duke as co author to improve clarity and accessibility beyond the developer community

The 4-year cycle pattern is still intact. The last bear market lasted 2 weeks longer, and the current top is just 2 weeks before the exact 1064-day pattern. Remains something to keep an eye on for $BTC.
