@BitcoinSapiens Exactly, the world is moving away from the petrodollar and quickly.

@ConcernedDually @cspotweet @angusreidorg He literally left the conservatives because of their lack of moral integrity. His ‘whining’ is pointing out corruption and mishandling of public funds. If you are truly a concerned citizen, I would suggest you start being concerned about the UCP.

“The separatist threat “opened our eyes to what’s going on,” Chief Allan Adam of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation in Treaty 8 told The Breach. “It’s a white supremacist movement. I hate to say it that way, but there’s no other way to say it.” breachmedia.ca/how-first-nati…

@maddenifico @acoyne That’s because most read at a grade 6 level. You can’t educate a society that doesn’t care.

@shanaka86 Stablecoins don’t weaponize the dollar against itself—they reveal that once money becomes global infrastructure, control and usage inevitably diverge.

BREAKING: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is funding a war against the United States using a digital token called United States Dollar Tether. The token is pegged to the American dollar. It tracks the dollar. It references the dollar. But it moves on the Tron blockchain in three seconds flat, never touches an American bank, never clears through SWIFT, never passes through New York, and cannot be frozen by the Federal Reserve. The dollar’s name is on the weapon pointed at the dollar’s military. This is the first war in history where the enemy’s own currency funds both sides simultaneously.
Bloomberg reported on April 1 that the IRGC collects tolls from tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz in Chinese yuan or stablecoins. The mechanism is now documented. An operator contacts an IRGC-linked intermediary. Submits vessel ownership, flag, cargo, crew list, and destination. The Hormozgan Provincial Command screens for ties to the United States or Israel using a one-to-five friendliness ranking. If cleared, the operator negotiates a toll starting at one dollar per barrel, up to two million per supertanker. Payment settles in yuan via CIPS or USDT via Tron. A VHF passcode is issued. An IRGC patrol boat escorts the vessel through the Larak corridor. The system is live. It is collecting revenue tonight.
The infrastructure was not improvised. The IRGC moved $3 billion through cryptocurrency in 2025 alone, according to Chainalysis. IRGC-linked addresses accounted for over 50 percent of all Iranian crypto by the fourth quarter of that year. The Central Bank of Iran accumulated $507 million in USDT, according to Elliptic. TRM Labs traced approximately $1 billion in IRGC flows through two UK-registered exchanges, Zedcex and Zedxion, “conducted almost entirely in USDT on the TRON blockchain.” TRM described this as “a sanctioned military organization operating exchange-branded crypto infrastructure offshore” and called it “infrastructure-level control.” OFAC designated both exchanges on January 30, 2026. Twenty-nine days later the bombs fell. The crypto war machine was built before the kinetic war began.
In January 2026, Iran’s Ministry of Defence began accepting cryptocurrency for arms exports. Drones. Missiles. Defence equipment. The same blockchain rails that settled weapons contracts before the war now settle passage rights during it. The toll booth at Hormuz did not need new technology. It needed a new application of technology that was already running at industrial scale, already embedded in global stablecoin markets, and already funded with half a billion dollars in a token denominated in the currency of the enemy.
The Treasury Department issues bonds to fund the war. Those bonds pay for aircraft carriers, interceptors, and the 2,400 sorties flown over Iran in five weeks. USDT, a token that says “USD” on its face, pays the tolls that fund the missiles those sorties are trying to destroy. The same three letters appear on both sides of the ledger. One moves through the Federal Reserve system. The other moves through a blockchain registered in the British Virgin Islands. Both settle in seconds. Both denominate in dollars. One funds the bombs. The other funds the toll that funds the missiles that the bombs exist to stop. The currency is fighting itself across two rails that will never intersect, and the IRGC is collecting the arbitrage.
The dollar is on both sides of this war. It always has been. What changed is that one side no longer needs American permission to use it.

Google is basically saying:
“We’ve cut the quantum resources needed to break Bitcoin’s encryption by 20x. We can now break it. We can prove it. We’re just not going to tell you how.
We’ve slowed down research to give crypto a chance. You have until 2029 to figure out a solution. Good luck.”

Many are wondering "what Google saw" that caused them to revise their post-quantum cryptography transition deadline to 2029 last week. It was this: research.google/blog/safeguard…

@simplifyinAI I was wondering when this would happen. All crypto projects will now need to consider this. Fascinating read.
