$BTC The quantum computer will pose a great dilemma. What to do with Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoins and other millions of lost BTC?
📍 Bitcoin and the quantum threat
Bitcoin developer Agustin Cruz proposes a hard fork that would require everyone to transfer their $BTC to quantum-resistant addresses.
His BIP suggests a mandatory migration period from current Bitcoin addresses (i.e., addresses secured by ECDSA) to addresses resistant to quantum computers.
After a certain date, bitcoins that have not been moved will be irrecoverable.
Before addressing the philosophical and technical questions raised by this BIP, let’s make it clear that the quantum threat is not a fantasy.
For Microsoft, the quantum computer will be a reality in several “years, not decades.” Google and IBM also predict that the major technological breakthrough is closer than believed.
Scott Aaronson, a researcher with 25 years of experience in the quantum field, recently sounded the alarm:
Until now, I used to say that maybe, eventually, we should consider the need to migrate from elliptic curve cryptography to cryptographic systems possibly resistant to a quantum attack.
I believe that today the message must be: yes, clearly, worry. Have a plan.
Pierre-Luc Dallaire-Demers, a researcher at the University of Calgary, estimates that there are
“about five years left before the quantum computer can break the elliptic curve keys that secure bitcoins.”
Therefore, it is time to revive the debate.
📍 The dilemma…
Should we prevent Google or Microsoft from taking the bitcoins that have not migrated to resistant addresses? That is, the million bitcoins mined by Satoshi Nakamoto and the other two million BTC that are estimated to be lost?
Bitcoin advances to its place as the most valuable asset in the world🗽🚀
Bitcoin has surpassed Google as the fifth most valuable asset in the world, but this is just a natural step in its journey.
📍 Ideas take time to settle.
It is common to believe that something has been understood, and after letting the idea rest for a while, or pondering it a bit more, to realize that only the surface has been grazed.
Even more, it takes time to take action in accordance with the knowledge acquired, and even more to integrate it as a new element of one's self-image, truly grasping it as a knowledge that has internally modified the worldview and that now expresses itself effortlessly in our most everyday tasks.
That $BTC has surpassed Alphabet (Google) as the fifth most valuable asset in the world is a sign that the understanding of what Bitcoin is has begun to settle.
The price chart corresponding to the last 30 days for the ten most valuable assets in the world is tinged with red.
It is tinged with red for all assets except two: gold and bitcoin.
The last 30 days have probably been the most uncertain financial period since the pandemic declaration for Covid19 in March 2020.
We have extensively covered the chaos unleashed by the tariff war, so we will not delve into its causes or symptoms, but rather in its consequence: the crisis.
This tariff war produced a crisis, not only financial but also of thought and valuation.
Crisis, in its original sense (from the Greek Kρίνειν), means separation.
It is a rupture in the normal thread of events that compels a decision to be made.
Change is inherent to the crisis: in the face of changing currents, the tide forces a change in course. And Bitcoin is the new destination.
Today, $8.05 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expire: impact on the market.💥
Today, approximately $8.05 billion in Bitcoin $BTC and Ethereum $ETH options expire, leading crypto market participants to prepare for volatility.
Traders and investors should pay special attention to today’s options expiration due to its volume and notional value, increasing the chances of potential influence on short-term trends.
However, the Put/Call ratios and pain points provide insights into what can be expected and potential market directions.
Outlook on Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiring today The notional value of the Bitcoin options expiring today is $7.24 billion.
According to Deribit data, these 77,642 Bitcoin options that expire have a Put/Call ratio of 0.73.
This ratio suggests a prevalence of call options over put options.
The data also reveals that the pain point for these options that expire is $86,000.
In crypto options trading, the pain point is the price at which the asset will cause the greatest amount of financial loss to the holders.
In addition to Bitcoin options, 458,926 Ethereum options are scheduled to expire today.
These expiring options have a notional value of $808.3 million, a Put/Call ratio of 0.74, and a pain point of $1,900.
The number of Ethereum options expiring today was significantly higher than last week.
High probabilities of profits in being a contrarian investor.📈🚧
If there is one thing that has been proven throughout the history of financial markets, it is that the consensus is wrong more often than it is right.
If it weren't so, all analysts would be rich. And obviously, that is not the case.
Most advisors and managers tend to miss the big rises. And they are usually not prepared when the big drops come.
You can count on one hand the analysts who recommended creating a liquidity reserve before the current tariff chaos occurred (to be able to buy low taking advantage of the drop).
And the positioning data in the moments leading up to big rises almost always coincides with a higher level of liquidity. It doesn't matter if they are retail investors or hedge funds.
It is enough to review the evolution of the “put - call” ratio, which measures bets against the market vs. in favor: the records of “short” positions almost always coincide with moments before big rises.
The most recent - and notable - case was in the summer of 2023.
And the most active in the derivatives market are alternative management funds. That “rare bird” of an investor, advisor, or analyst who tends to do the opposite of the majority is called a contrarian investor.
It cannot be said that they are always right, but the fact that the market consensus tends to be wrong more than right leads to the conclusion that the contrarian investor is right more than the one who systematically follows the herd.
Hence, it is interesting to consider from time to time what they would do. And then apply the common sense filter, since obviously, it is not enough to go against the grain to be right.
Let us clarify that we are not making any investment recommendation, we limit ourselves to stating what the consensus says and what we think the loose verse would do, not what we are going to do ourselves. #MarketRebound
The price of Bitcoin $BTC points to a resistance of $90,000: Correction or bearish trap?🚨🚧
With the current price of $BTC combined with its historical resistance and expert forecasts, the overall outlook remains cautiously optimistic.
In the short term, investors should closely monitor the support level of $83,000 and the resistance threshold of $90,000, as these levels are likely to shape market sentiment.
Short-term outlook: Correction or bearish trap?
On Easter Sunday 2025, Bitcoin reached a price of $84,600, marking its highest level on this holiday in 17 years, according to a report from DocumentingBTC on X.
From $0 in 2009–2010 to $84,600 in 2025, Bitcoin has demonstrated unparalleled resilience and adoption over the years.
Bitcoin's dominance (BTC.D) has also reached a 4-year high. Despite this, experts remain divided on whether an altseason is on the horizon.
CryptoQuant's Head of Research, Julio Moreno, shared on X that Bitcoin's price resistance could range between $91,000 and $92,000, aligning with the realized on-chain price for traders.
According to the analysis, during a bull market (bull market score ≥ 60), this realized price often acts as support; in a bear market (bull market score ≤ 40), it serves as resistance.
The current market is still considered in the latter scenario.
Analyst Mark Cullen has expressed particular skepticism about the $83,000 level.
If Bitcoin falls below this threshold, the market could witness a stronger bearish reaction.
Gold surpasses $3,400 and consolidates as the preferred refuge for investors. 💼🏆🤔
Gold has marked a new historical record by exceeding $3,400 per ounce, consolidating itself as the most attractive asset in times of economic uncertainty.
This rise comes amid the escalation of the trade war led by the United States and as a direct response to Donald Trump's tariff policies.
A safe haven amid economic chaos
In times of geopolitical and financial tension, investors seek assets that protect their capital.
Gold has always been considered a safe-haven asset and now it proves it once again. This Monday, the price of the precious metal rose nearly 2.5%, reaching $3,405 per ounce. This represents a 30% increase so far this year.
With this performance, gold positions itself as the most profitable commodity of the year, clearly surpassing soybean oil, copper, and coffee.
Central banks have played a key role in the surge of gold.
They have been buying more than they sell for fifteen consecutive years, and in the last three years, they have exceeded 1,000 tons in net purchases.
This data, shared by Crédit Mutuel Asset Management, confirms a clear trend: the accumulation of gold by central banks continues unabated.
Quantum computing: Project Eleven offers 1 $BTC to anyone who deciphers the Bitcoin algorithm.🔥
The quantum research firm Project Eleven launched an unprecedented challenge, offering 1 BTC as a reward to whoever can decipher the Bitcoin algorithm.
This initiative serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of cryptography in the face of quantum computing.
Although the current cryptography of Bitcoin is robust, future generations of quantum computers could break it. This poses a set of security risks in digital transactions.
The prize will be awarded, according to Project Eleven, to the first team that deciphers a cryptographic key using an algorithm called Shor on a quantum computer.
The time to achieve this is one year, and the initial motivation is to accelerate the development of post-quantum cryptography, a necessary security solution for the coming decades.
In recent years, quantum computing has advanced considerably.
The launch of Majorana 1 by Microsoft is a reminder that the quantum race has already begun.
A company announcement on Wednesday explains the following: "The goal of the prize is simple, yet urgent: to quantify the true threat that quantum computing poses to Bitcoin. The basic cryptography of Bitcoin."
Project Eleven accelerates the quantum race with a reward of 1 BTC to anyone who deciphers the Bitcoin algorithm.
To speak lightly of the possibility that one day the Bitcoin algorithm could be deciphered is truly absurd.
This would not only wreak havoc on the reliability of Bitcoin, but it could also create a new global or financial crisis.
This day has been termed "Q-Day" and would not only have repercussions on the Bitcoin algorithm.
Basically, any confidential information could be compromised by a quantum computer. #SaylorBTCPurchase
Bitcoin holds firm while markets tremble: the resilience of the most rebellious asset.🔴🔴🔴👁️🏆
Global markets are caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty. The reactivation of a trade war by Donald Trump, with new tariffs aimed at China, has triggered a bearish storm in major stock indices.
Wall Street takes the hit: the S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and the Dow Jones are retreating strongly as fear grips traditional investors.
Amidst this financial chaos, one asset stands out once again for its composure: Bitcoin.
Bitcoin's endurance against the Wall Street collapse
As traditional markets give ground to tariff threats and a potential global slowdown, Bitcoin becomes, once again, the bastion of financial resistance.
At the very moment when tech stocks suffer significant corrections and commodities lose their luster, the price of Bitcoin remains stable, orbiting key levels without yielding to external pressure.
This phenomenon is not a coincidence. It is a tangible proof of the change in perception that Bitcoin has undergone in recent years.
What was once seen as a high-risk asset now positions itself as an emerging store of value, disconnected from the traditional economic cycle and resilient to geopolitical shocks.
The silent maturity of the crypto king It is no longer just a speculative alternative.
The narrative of Bitcoin as 'digital gold' gains strength in every crisis.
In contrast to assets sensitive to monetary policy or government decisions, Bitcoin functions as a decentralized refuge, free from state controls and capable of resisting censorship or manipulation.
Even with volatility that does not disappear, its relative stability on days of stock market panic places it in a distinct category. While markets tremble, Bitcoin remains unperturbed, as if it knows something that the rest still does not understand.
3.6 billion in #Bitcoin absorbed in 24 hours... what if it were a signal? 📈👁️
As Donald Trump relaunches his trade war with China, causing sudden volatility in the markets, Bitcoin whales seized the opportunity.
On April 9, 2025, addresses called "accumulation" received 48,575 $BTC , that is, 3.6 billion dollars — the largest daily influx since February 2022.
Bitcoin whales: a disturbing coincidence between 2022 and 2025
Donald Trump's announcements about the increase in tariff rates caused a shock in the crypto market, with 200 million dollars liquidated in 24h.
Three days later, on April 9, 2025, Bitcoin whales absorbed 48,575 $BTC , representing 3.6 billion dollars — a record never reached since February 2022.
These addresses, often associated with a long-term conservation strategy, are known for buying during pullback phases.
In comparison, the $BTC was worth approximately 38,400 dollars in 2022, compared to 76,000 dollars at the time of purchase, demonstrating that these players remain active, regardless of the price level.
At the same time, Santiment data has highlighted 132 new addresses holding more than 10 BTC created in just 24 hours.
This dual signal, both quantitative and behavioral, reflects renewed confidence from whales and sharks in the resilience of the market.
In times of geopolitical uncertainty, Bitcoin seems more than ever to play its role as a store of value.
The father of AI contradicts Elon Musk and Sam Altman.👎👁️
"I am tired of the term general artificial intelligence"
Yann LeCun, from Meta, has been quite forceful about this: this technology will not pose a threat in the purest Terminator or Matrix style, no matter what they say.
Both Elon Musk and Sam Altman frequently talk about general artificial intelligence (AGI), and the possibilities it will offer in the future. However, some experts are not at all clear that this will become a reality.
Among them, one of the greatest specialists regarding this technology, one of its "fathers".
According to him, talking about general artificial intelligence not only represents a mistake but a very dangerous one.
Mainly because it confuses people, who tend to associate tools like ChatGPT with apocalyptic scenarios in the purest Terminator or Matrix style.
That is, a moment when AI will have its own consciousness and things like that, which really generate uncertainty.
What if Elon Musk and Sam Altman were wrong about AI?
There is much talk about general artificial intelligence. Among them, high-profile figures like Elon Musk or Sam Altman, the main person responsible for ChatGPT. However, not everyone agrees with this view.
Not to mention, Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist at Meta and one of the leading specialists in deep learning currently available.
To begin with, it is worth understanding well what general artificial intelligence is. Basically, it refers to a hypothetical artificial intelligence capable of performing any cognitive task that a human being can do.
Or in other words, a technology that is more or less capable of reasoning by itself, without any supervision and in a way that it makes its own decisions.
Robert Kiyosaki: Bitcoin still offers the opportunity to save oneself from the crash
The popular investor and financial analyst, Robert Kiyosaki, claims that it is not too late to save oneself from the decline of financial markets. 📈🥴
He emphasizes that the leadership of the world's central banks has destroyed the wealth of thousands of investors. This is a consequence of sustaining economic growth with debt and fake money.
In one of his usual posts on social media, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad stated that the financial collapse is underway.
All forms of financial assets backed by the US dollar face sustained annihilation, he asserts.
This crash, according to this expert's theory, has been brewing for years, but it is now manifesting with particular force.
"The US dollar, corrupt and dishonest, is being annihilated. Savers of stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds are being annihilated...
their wealth is being stolen by a sinister global banking cartel known as the central banks."
Despite his pessimistic outlook, Robert Kiyosaki insists that there is still a chance for salvation through Bitcoin, gold, or silver.
In his view, these assets can be considered real capital instead of fiat currencies, which he labels as fake money. He adds that, although it is not too late, time is running out for investors. #BTCRebound

Do McDonald's shareholders suggest investing in Bitcoin?😱🧐
Conservative shareholders of McDonald's wanted the popular fast food chain to consider buying Bitcoin.
However, according to a document submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company currently has no interest in discussing such a proposal.
For reference, the proposal began when the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), a group of conservative experts and McDonald's shareholders, sent a letter to the famous burger chain urging top leaders to buy Bitcoin.
McDonald's is widely considered, even by former CEO and president Harry Sonneborn, as a real estate company that sells hamburgers. The NCPPR expressed in its proposal.
Real estate has been a much more reliable store of value than cash and bonds, but it will not appreciate over time as much as BTC and is not as liquid as Bitcoin.
Moreover, as more companies incorporate Bitcoin into their balance sheets, if McDonald's does not follow suit, it will fall behind where it once led, the group of shareholders added.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that shareholders of a corporation have requested boards of directors to start acquiring Bitcoins.
For reference, the famous technology and artificial intelligence company, "Strategy," led by Michael Saylor, popularized the accumulation of Bitcoin. This is because the constant purchase of this crypto asset and the appreciation of the popular cryptocurrency have driven substantial growth in its treasury and stock.
Additionally, the video game chain, "GameStop," recently announced it had raised $1.5 billion to buy BTC. In contrast, in December 2024, shareholders of the tech giant, "Microsoft," voted against such a measure.
Despite the growth of companies linked to Bitcoin, McDonald's dismisses the investment.
