Does a winter storm really prove how Bitcoin links the digital network to the physical world?

Looks like it’s going to be a nail biter with just the Super Bowl left Carresan and Undisciplined are neck and neck. Can’t wait to see who takes it!

Losing faith without gaining critical thinking leaves people easy to manipulate.

Curious to see if the Knicks can really carry the East.

This is such a vivid road trip memoir you can really feel the history, the nostalgia, and the personal landmarks coming alive, I love how Bitcoin and music are woven in naturally, without feeling forced. It makes the journey feel both epic and intimate at the same time.

Could Ark as a channel factory make Lightning payments more flexible without adding on-chain transactions, despite higher trust trade offs?

This is the type of research that keeps Bitcoin evolving safely. It’s meticulous, technical, and necessary even if most users never see it.

This really resonates. Most people aren’t all in on one asset, and it’s kind of wild that mainstream FIRE tools still pretend bitcoin doesn’t exist. Cool to see someone actually build something practical instead of arguing about it.

If this is even half true, it’s not “end-to-end encryption,” it’s “trust us, bro.” Hard to square claims like this with real privacy Meta’s track record doesn’t exactly earn the benefit of the doubt.

You can really see both the potential and the growing pains of Bitcoin adoption on the island.

Hard to disagree. Dalio’s framework fits this moment uncomfortably well and the speed at which things are escalating is what’s really alarming.

it’s secure enough, but not economically interesting enough to attract the right adversary.

Pollard’s Kangaroo is a classical algorithm It’s useful if you’re doing a classical attack on a known range of private keys, but it’s nowhere near as fast as what a quantum computer could theoretically do.

Yes, the first NSFAS payment should cover books, meals, accommodation, travel, and personal care for February.

True, btcpuzzle.info is a real world test of brute force limits long before quantum computers arrive.

It’s the math not the BTC that sets the challenge. Low entropy keys are what make it feasible.

Agreed,pushes tech forward without putting Bitcoin at immediate risk.

Yip, looks like the prize itself is the ultimate motivation 😄

Exactly! It’s ironic people hype quantum breakthroughs like they’ll break Bitcoin tomorrow, but these machines struggle with tiny numbers.

True,Quantum experiments aiming at Bitcoin are ambitious starting with simpler factoring problems first would provide clearer benchmarks for progress.
