Pt.3: How to Prepare? Quantum-Resistant Cryptography and Adaptation
To defend against these threats, researchers and industry leaders are working on post-quantum cryptography (PQC). These are algorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers while remaining secure and efficient for classical computers.
Some of the most promising post-quantum algorithms include:
CRYSTALS-Dilithium – a lattice-based digital signature algorithm.XMSS – a hash-based signature scheme.Lattice-based cryptography in general, which relies on mathematical structures believed to be resistant to quantum attacks.
Implementing these quantum-resistant algorithms will likely require hard forks in blockchain networks, as well as consensus within the crypto community to ensure seamless transitions.
What can crypto asset holders do today?
Stay informed about quantum computing developments.Look for projects that are actively researching or adopting PQC solutions.Diversify your assets and consider using multi-signature or hardware wallets.Support community efforts to test and integrate PQC into existing blockchains.
A particularly fascinating scenario is the future of Satoshi’s wallet and early Bitcoin addresses, which rely on older cryptographic schemes that would be among the first to be cracked if a powerful enough quantum computer becomes available.
Looking Ahead
While quantum computing is not an immediate threat, its rapid progress means that proactive measures are crucial to safeguard the crypto ecosystem. Collaboration between researchers, blockchain developers, and asset holders will be essential to ensure a smooth transition to a quantum-secure future.
Whether Q Day is five, ten, or twenty years away, the time to prepare is now.

Pt.2: The Quantum Threat to Crypto Assets
Quantum computers pose a significant challenge to the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based assets. Current cryptographic systems rely on mathematical problems that are extremely hard for classical computers to solve, like factoring large prime numbers. However, quantum algorithms such as Shor’s algorithm can solve these problems exponentially faster.
Here are the four main risks posed by quantum computing to crypto assets:
Breaking Private Keys
Quantum computers can break the cryptographic schemes protecting private keys, making it possible to steal funds from wallets. It’s estimated that around 4,000 logical qubits would be needed to break widely used public-key cryptography, such as RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography).
Dominating Mining
Quantum computers could outperform classical miners, monopolizing block creation and disrupting the network’s fair distribution of rewards.Smart Contract Vulnerabilities
Quantum attacks can target smart contracts and decentralized applications, potentially changing their behavior or bypassing security measures.
Loss of Trust
If quantum attacks become feasible, trust in blockchain networks could erode, leading to a collapse in confidence and the value of digital assets.
Currently, the IBM Condor chip – with 1,121 qubits – represents a major milestone. Google’s research suggests that millions of physical qubits would be needed for large-scale quantum error correction, so we’re not yet at the point of quantum supremacy in breaking crypto, but progress is accelerating.

Pt.1: What is Quantum Computing and How Does It Work?
Quantum computing is a cutting-edge field that leverages the unique properties of quantum mechanics to perform computations far beyond the reach of classical computers.
At its core, quantum computing uses qubits (quantum bits) instead of traditional bits (0s and 1s). Qubits can exist in a state of superposition, meaning they can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously. This allows quantum computers to process an enormous amount of information in parallel.
Another crucial phenomenon is entanglement. When qubits are entangled, the state of one qubit instantly affects the state of another, regardless of distance. This enables quantum computers to perform complex calculations with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
Classical computers process data sequentially, using binary logic. Quantum computers, in contrast, harness the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics to explore multiple solutions at once, promising breakthroughs in fields like materials science, cryptography, and finance.
Currently, quantum technology is still in its early stages, with researchers working on stabilizing qubits and scaling up the number of usable qubits in quantum processors. Major players like IBM, Google, and Rigetti are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
A term that has gained traction in the quantum community is Q Day – the moment when quantum computers become powerful enough to break existing cryptographic systems. While we’re not there yet, it’s a looming event that drives much of the current research and preparation.

🧻 Where is your seed phrase?
On a piece of paper? A metal plate? Hidden under your mattress? Or… scribbled on a torn sheet of toilet paper?
Your crypto seed phrase isn't just a bunch of random words — it's the master key to your wallet. Anyone who gets those 12, 18, or 24 words has full access to your funds, no matter the app or device.
Here are a few crazy but true facts:
• All valid seed phrases come from the same list of 2048 English words (BIP-39).
• A seed phrase mathematically generates all your private keys. It's literally the "seed" of your crypto identity.
• You only need to type the first 3 letters of each word and wallets will auto-complete the rest.
• But if you lose it, there’s no “Forgot Password” button. Ever.
Think you're storing yours safely? Or do you need to rethink your strategy?
👇 Tell us — how (and where) do you store your seed phrase?
Let’s see the most creative, secure, or terrifying stories in the comments!
P.S. Never share your seed phrase! Not with your mom, not with a friend, not with support. Not even if someone promises you free crypto! Scams happen every day, and your 'key' is only yours.

🍕 Bitcoin Pizza Day: From Two Pizzas to a Billion-Dollar Bite 🍕
May 22nd marks Bitcoin Pizza Day, the anniversary of the first documented purchase of a physical product using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John's pizzas.
Fast forward 15 years, and those 10,000 BTC are now worth roughly $1.1 billion.
Today, a large pizza at Papa John’s averages around $13.99. That means the same amount of BTC used in 2010 could now buy over 78 million pizzas at the same place.
That’s enough for every person in France (about 64.8 million people) to get a pizza each and there would still be around 13 million left over.
It’s a crazy reminder of how far $BTC has come since its first real-world use. From two pizzas to enough food for a country, Bitcoin’s growth in value is hard to ignore.

Microsoft Recall and the Hidden Risks for Crypto Users
Since April, Microsoft has rolled out a new AI-powered feature called *Recall* for Copilot+ PCs running Windows 11. It quietly takes constant screenshots of everything happening on your screen, apps, websites, messages, logins, wallets, you name it. All of it is stored locally in a searchable timeline meant to help you "recall" anything you've done on your computer.
But for crypto users, this convenience might come at a high price.
The problem? Everything gets captured. That includes sensitive information like seed phrases, exchange logins, transaction details, and two-factor codes. Even though Recall data is stored locally, it's still accessible to malware, hackers, or anyone who gets into your device.
If you're managing crypto through browser wallets, exchanges like #Binance , or even desktop wallets, one screenshot at the wrong time could mean losing your funds.
Worse, Recall runs in the background by default. Disabling it requires extra steps, and many users aren't even aware it exists.
For those of us in crypto, this is a serious privacy concern. We're always talking about self-custody and personal responsibility, but what happens when your system is recording everything without you knowing?
Stay safe. Use hardware wallets when possible. Keep your systems clean. And if you're using Windows 11 with Recall, take a moment to check if it's enabled, and turn it off if you value your privacy.

Why USDC and EURI Are Gaining Traction in Europe? A Look at MiCA Regulations
The European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is reshaping the crypto landscape, especially concerning stablecoins. Introduced to enhance transparency and consumer protection, #MiCA mandates that stablecoins be fully backed by liquid reserves and issued by regulated entities within the EU.
MiCA's Impact on Stablecoins
Under MiCA, stablecoins must:
Be fully backed by liquid reserves held in regulated financial institutions.
Maintain transparency through regular audits and disclosures.
Be issued by entities authorized within the EU.
These stringent requirements aim to ensure stability and trust in the crypto market.
Why USDC and EURI Are Favored
Stablecoins like $USDC and $EURI have gained prominence due to their compliance with MiCA:
USDC: Issued by Circle, USDC is fully backed by U.S. dollar reserves and undergoes regular audits, aligning with MiCA's transparency standards.
EURI: Issued by Banking Circle S.A., EURI is pegged to the euro and complies with MiCA's regulatory requirements.
Their adherence to MiCA has led platforms like #Binance to continue supporting them, while non-compliant stablecoins face delisting.
The Decline of USDT in the EU
Tether's $USDT, despite its global popularity, has faced challenges under MiCA:
Lack of transparency regarding reserve holdings.
Absence of a licensed EU entity for issuance.
Non-compliance with MiCA's reserve and audit requirements.
Consequently, major exchanges, including Binance, have delisted $USDT for European users to align with MiCA regulations.
Conclusion
MiCA's implementation underscores the EU's commitment to a secure and transparent crypto environment. For users and investors, understanding these regulatory shifts is crucial. Opting for MiCA-compliant stablecoins like USDC and EURI ensures continued access and compliance within the European crypto market.
