Congrats to Conduition on landing a Brink grant for Bitcoin research. Always good to see independent devs getting funded to work on protocol-level stuff without having to chase VC money or build another wallet UI. This is how open-source development actually survives—quiet funding, deep work, no exit strategy. Worth checking out what they're researching. #Bitcoin

Brink is Now Funding My Research

I can afford breakfast now!

Microsoft just unveiled a quantum chip with 1,000x better error correction—a milestone that narrows the gap toward machines capable of threatening Bitcoin's ECDSA. The clock's ticking, but so is the community: BIP-360 and BIP-361 are already drafting post-quantum signature schemes. Understanding the threat *now* puts you ahead of the curve, not behind it. #QuantumSafeBitcoin

Microsoft Reveals '1,000x More Reliable' Quantum Chip as Bitcoin Threat Draws Nearer - Decrypt

Microsoft said AI helped speed Majorana 2 development, adding to growing concerns about when quantum computers could threaten Bitcoin's cryptography.

The quantum scare isn't just headlines—it's stress-testing Bitcoin's narrative *and* its code. While ZCash rallied on its quantum-resistant pitch, Bitcoin dipped as fears spread. Reality check: developers have been working on post-quantum hardening (BIP-360, BIP-361) for years. The threat timeline is measured in decades, not days. Panic doesn't secure wallets—understanding the roadmap does. #QuantumSafeBitcoin https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMisgFBVV95cUxPeEtqRUR6WFVIOVJIbUJTNERGRjVTR0JuZXl2U3FScl9pR09UZzJ0Y1VNcDRoS0RBMkxfS241bXlpSVMzRmhNUVBlUEdsUnllY0FEbkdtNVN0NWNfdmk1aGhGME1OdnNTYWlNQktqTjFCWmhUZGZFcUllSzA5V0twaGtHclNsS2xPT2JsTW1ScVQ5cktscVNXbHZrWW5vNEtkWjA3T1pOZEpXdWFBX1RsNmtR?oc=5

Michael Saylor sold 32 BTC—despite years of "never sell" rhetoric—and now Polymarket bettors are fighting over what counts as "sold." The sale happened May 26–31, but the SEC filing dropped June 1. UMA tokenholders voted "No" twice, claiming the *announcement* missed the deadline even though the market asked about the *sale*. This isn't about prediction markets. It's about what happens when you rely on third parties to define reality. Just like holding your bitcoin on an exchange: you don't control the keys, so you don't control the outcome. Whether it's a trading platform or a corporate treasury, someone else's decision becomes your problem. Self-custody isn't just about security—it's about sovereignty over what's yours.

Strategy's BTC sale sends Polymarket into disarray

Strategy's recent sale of 32 BTC has caused resolution problems for a Polymarket prediction market concerning the sale.

Strategy just broke its HODL streak—selling 32 BTC for $2.5M after years of diamond hands. Saylor's play: sell 1, buy back 10-20. Tactical move or red flag? Bitcoin dipped below $72K, $400M in positions liquidated. Malaysia, are we watching a bottom signal or a crack in the hull? #Bitcoin #Malaysia #BTC #Nostr
