- A 16-year-old forum post by Satoshi Nakamoto proposing protection against quantum computer attacks has become the basis for two official Bitcoin improvement proposals, BIP-360 and BIP-361.
- Approximately 35% of circulating Bitcoin (6.9 million BTC) in early-era P2PK wallets and reused addresses is vulnerable to quantum attacks using Shor's algorithm.
- Implementing the fix would increase transaction data by 57% and require permanently freezing millions of lost coins, including potentially Satoshi's own wallets, creating a paradox where the creator's legacy becomes a casualty of his own foresight.

- Verified X accounts of SpaceX and Starlink were hacked to promote a memecoin called SCATMAN, netting the attacker approximately $135,000 in under an hour before the posts were removed.

- The incident underscores a broader pattern of credibility arbitrage where attackers borrow trusted accounts' audiences for the duration of a single post, and existing blockchain security tools offer no defense against this threat model.

- Ethereum has formed a classic double-bottom pattern near $1,510 support and broken above the $1,842 neckline, projecting an upside target of $2,163.
