@TechLeviathan @grok is this true?

IRAN JUST BECAME THE BIGGEST BITCOIN BUYER ON EARTH Iran charges $2M in Bitcoin per ship to cross Hormuz At $72,000 per $BTC, each ship = 27.7 BTC ~130 ships cross daily For context: Miners produce 450 $BTC/day Iran earns 3,601 $BTC/day That's 8x the entire daily mining supply MicroStrategy took 4 years to stack 500K $BTC Iran could do it in 5 months... with a toll booth

@Timboo Bitcoin can be traced, so makes not much sense

Allegedly (as reported by FT), Iran is asking to be paid in Bitcoin for passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Interesting…

@grok @jaesoooooon @NightSkyNow A threat to BTC?

The US and China are neck-and-neck globally, with no outright leader—it's split by strengths. China leads in raw scale, public investment ($15B+), patents (60% share), and photonic quantum systems like Jiuzhang (as in this post's breakthrough). The US leads in private-sector innovation, error-corrected hardware (IBM's 1,400+ qubit fleet, Google's Willow chip), top research quality, and startups (50%+ worldwide). Why? China's state-driven model accelerates volume; America's ecosystem drives quality and commercialization. Europe and others trail but contribute key tech.

China’s quantum computer completed a task in 4 minutes that would literally take a supercomputer billions of years. Chinese researchers have achieved a monumental breakthrough in quantum computing with their prototype, Jiuzhang. By counting 76 photons through Gaussian boson sampling, the system completed a calculation in four minutes that would take a traditional supercomputer billions of years. This achievement shatters the previous classical record of five photons, demonstrating how an intricate array of lasers and mirrors can outperform traditional silicon bits in complex processing tasks. This milestone is more than just a speed record; it proves the viability of photon-based quantum mechanics in solving real-world challenges. From revolutionizing quantum chemistry to laying the groundwork for a secure, large-scale quantum internet, the principles of superposition and entanglement are moving from theoretical physics into functional technology. This shift promises to redefine our global computational limits, offering answers to mathematical problems once considered impossible to solve within a human lifetime. source: Zhong, H.-S., Wang, H., Deng, Y.-H., Chen, M.-C., Peng, L.-C., Luo, Y.-L., ... & Pan, J.-W.

@WeGetWiser @RoundtableSpace What about air?

@RoundtableSpace In emergency situation, where will they get energy from?... and also the depth of the facility seems quite shallow... but the idea is good and quite achievable for the one who needs it.

THIS IS INSANE

@VoltVerseTxt @JoanaCotar @direRandomnes Genau. Beleidigung = Antragsdelikt (§ 194 StGB). Die Polizei darf gar nicht von Amts wegen ermitteln, würde aber offensichtlich gerne. Das Frau Cotta einen Antrag auf so ein Schreiben gestellt hat (deine Vermutung) macht null Sinn, Sie kann ja gleich den Strafantrag stellen.

@tweetmaxll @JoanaCotar @direRandomnes Beleidigungen sind sogenannte Antragsdelikte

Das häuft sich jetzt aber. Schon wieder eine Aufforderung durch die Polizei, doch Anzeige zu erstatten. Diesmal nicht per Mail, sondern per Post. Der Antrag lag gleich bei, Unterschrift hätte genügt. Falls sich wieder jemand fragt, wieso die Polizei überlastet ist..

@VoltVerseTxt @JoanaCotar @direRandomnes Es soll also eine Antragstellung auf einen Strafantrag geben? Ne, selbst Deutschland ist nicht so ineffektiv

@JoanaCotar @direRandomnes Die Polizei hat geschrieben, dass sie sowas nicht machen und es immer auf „Antragstellung“ kommt so ein Schreiben. Entweder die Polizei oder sie lügen

Crypto Factor is extending its execution layer into Real World Asset infrastructure. We are building a new sovereign RWA execution system on @avax - designed to support platforms such as Carbon Bridge, an early-stage US based project progressing alongside this infrastructure to operate on top of it. This represents a step beyond digital-native systems and into building the machinery required for real-world asset markets to operate on-chain. This direction has been unlocked through the recent development of lifecycle-based NFT systems - enabling assets to move through defined phases such as issuance, allocation, participation, and retirement, with those transitions enforced directly by protocol logic. That foundation is essential. Because while carbon credits can be represented digitally, the real challenge is ensuring they behave correctly in line with how they exist, are verified, and are ultimately retired within the real world. Carbon credits are issued and recorded within external registries such as Verra and Gold Standard, where authoritative records of issuance, ownership, and retirement are maintained. What we are building is the execution layer that allows platforms to interact with these systems in a structured and programmable way - connecting on-chain logic directly to real-world asset records and lifecycle events. This includes: – Representing carbon credits on-chain in a way that reflects their real-world status – Enforcing lifecycle transitions such as issuance, transfer, and retirement – Coordinating interaction with external registry systems – Ensuring alignment between on-chain representation and off-chain source records This introduces a level of system complexity beyond anything we have deployed so far. As this progresses, Interchain is expected to play a key role in validation and coordination between on-chain execution and registry systems - ensuring that asset conditions remain consistent and verifiable across both environments. This development aligns directly with our System Focus: 🌐 Applied Infrastructure: bringing real-world asset systems into programmable environments 🌐 Template Execution: building repeatable frameworks for complex, externally integrated platforms 🌐 Operational Sustainability: linking value generation to real-world activity 🌐 Network Expansion: establishing Avalanche as the initial environment for this class of system It also introduces an important shift. As we build infrastructure at this level, platforms begin to operate on top of Crypto Factor execution systems rather than simply deploying contracts. This begins to define how access to that infrastructure is governed - shaping the evolving role of $CFR in licensing, access, and usage of protocol-level systems. This infrastructure is currently under active development, with foundational work underway across lifecycle execution, registry interaction, and validation design. The direction is now clear. Crypto Factor is moving toward building the execution layer for systems that operate within real-world markets - with Carbon Bridge as one of the first platforms to emerge alongside it.

@DefiWimar QE with higher Inflation expectations? Don’t think so

🚨 BREAKING FED WILL HOLD AN EMERGENCY MEETING TOMORROW AT 2:00 PM ET! THEY'LL RELEASE ITS ECONOMIC PROJECTIONS AND INTEREST RATE DECISION. AFTER THE OIL CRISIS, FED COULD LAUNCH MAJOR QE TO SUPPORT THE ECONOMY. SOMETHING REALLY HUGE MAY BE COMING...

This is what economic suicide looks like;

@DeItaone Not working as inflation hedge

BITCOIN AT RISK IF MIDEAST TENSIONS ESCALATE Bitcoin could drop further if the U.S.-Iran conflict spreads, says ActivTrades analyst Carolane De Palmas, as investors flee volatile assets. Currently down 3.3% to $67,070, bitcoin might gain only if oil disruptions push inflation expectations higher, boosting its appeal as a hedge.

@AhmadMansour__ Historische Chance, das hat sich geändert

Am Ende wird es wieder Trump sein, der den Iranern zu Hilfe eilt – nicht Europa. Während die Menschen im Iran ihr Leben riskieren, um das Mullah-Regime zu stürzen, wird Europa erneut das tun, was es am besten kann: zögern, abwarten, Stellungnahmen abgeben – und wieder eine historische Chance verpassen. Und falls es zu einer militärischen Aktion kommt, werden die europäischen Medien nicht zuerst über die Opfer der Tyrannei sprechen, sondern reflexhaft eine Völkerrechtsdebatte eröffnen – als wäre der entscheidende Skandal nicht das Regime selbst, sondern seine mögliche Beseitigung. Ein gutes Wort über Trump wird hier keiner verlieren.

@BabakTaghvaee1 @grok @grok girls to school in Iran?

@BabakTaghvaee1 @grok did it happen?

#Breaking: Unfortunately, a tragic mistake was made today when a girls’ primary school in #Minab, southern #Iran, was struck by a cruise missile launched by the #USNavy. The school was affiliated with the #IRGC Navy, and daughters of naval personnel were studying there. However, girls from other families in the small town were also attending the school. More than 60 students have been killed in the attack so far. It appears the strike may have resulted from outdated target data or a targeting error, though the exact cause remains unclear. #IranRevolution #IranRevolution2026 #OperationLionRoar #OperationEpicFury

@Timmyotool999 @JoanaCotar Es hat sich ja auch in den letzten 45 Jahren nicht geändert, gell. Einfach alles lassen wie es ist..🙈

@JoanaCotar Ja naja. Also das ist jetzt der dritte (mindestens) westliche Umsturz im Iran. Der Ayatollah kam damals 1979 mit Air France aus Paris. Warum sollte es diesmal besser sein?

Gut gealtert.

@georgrestle Wie treffend vorhergesagt: x.com/ahmadmansour__…

Trump damals, Trump heute

@Buurmann @tagesschau @tagesthemen natürlich wird nur ausführlich die organisierte Trauer in Iran gezeigt. Wer hätte es gedacht.

@Buurmann Bin ich sehr gespannt

Was für ein Bild. Vor dem Kölner Dom feiern Menschen die selten so nah greifbar gewesene Freiheit für das iranische Volk, und wir sehen Fahnen von Persien, Israel, Deutschland, den USA und sogar die Fahne der israelischen Armee. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, wie all das wohl in den kommenden Stunden in den deutschen öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien gerahmt wird.

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 In what might be some of the most powerful footage to come out of today, Israelis and Iranians are dancing and celebrating side by side in the streets of London.

@T3uf3Linnen @tagesschau Bin gespannt ob @tagesschau so was zeigt, was wirklich eine vollständige Berichterstattung wäre: x.com/adammilstein/s…

@tagesschau ARD ZDF freuen sich nicht darüber weil Israel und Trump es gewagt haben.
