Not just Bitcoin, and not just all other popular cryptocurrencies, but all your web traffic and more are all susceptible to quantum attack.

It's an awesome python library to create math animations, I would highly recommend it.

While there's no doubt they've stored lots of encrypted messages sent by each other, would it really be such a huge catastrophe if those messages were decrypted years after they were sent? Presumably neither side is sending the most sensitive information that has long-term value (like weapons designs) across a channel the other can read, encrypted or not. And the US and Chinese governments losing control of some of their secrets wouldn't necessarily be a net negative for the world anyway. Snowden "decrypted" some of the US's secrets and we are better off for it.

The bigger threat isn't both sides decrypting each other's stored messages, it's one side breaking the other's encryption without them knowing, like what happened with the Enigma in WWII.

The first thing to target would be the network operators, so that you have the technical ability to observe and inject packets into connections from leaf nodes. Then, you could redirect those connections to yourself, proxy their TLS undetected, or serve replies that contain (valid signature) updates or malware.

This is one of the many reasons that a defense in depth strategy (that is, not solely/blindly trusting TLS or digital signatures to ensure that your computer doesn't run unauthorized code) is a good idea.

It is also probably another reason why so many state-level intel agencies target telecoms first and foremost.

There are tens of billions of dollars worth of abandoned Bitcoins in addresses with exposed public keys. It would be trivial to get those if you can break ECDSA. Yes, there is much more outside of Bitcoin but I don't see why someone who had this capability wouldn't go after the easy targets first.

Eth1 docking on Eth2 on the roadmap in the next 18 months. The https://beaconcha.in/ has more solo validators online right now than people aware of tezos existence.

Tezos feel like a French project like Minitel was. Ahead of it´s time, theoretically ok supported by short sided ego first French corporate (Casino project reads like multi airlines travel points from the mid 80´s)

Don't get me wrong It worth a lot in the research fundamentals. But so much could be done joining the nationless Ethereum project.

I was completely blown away with the design of the Anchor protocol that they just launched

I really hope that project continues its success.

And you can borrow stablecoins for your BTC without selling it.

In less PC-ridden times, this would just have been:
