Watch Party Wednesday was a success!🚀 This week, we unpacked Davinci Jeremie's take on one of the biggest narratives in Bitcoin today: “Quantum computing will kill Bitcoin.” Reality check? — it won’t. 🔸We explored why: • Bitcoin’s security model is more resilient than most people think. • Unused Bitcoin addresses remain quantum-resistant. • The real risk is not Bitcoin, it’s altcoins with weaker cryptographic assumptions. 🔸The big takeaway? While others panic about the future, Bitcoin keeps proving why it’s built differently — engineered for adversarial environments, including what’s coming next. See you next Watch Party Wednesday!🧡 View quoted note →

📺 Watch Party Wednesday — 2 PM UTC! Join us on Discord today as we watch, pause, and break down high-signal Bitcoin content from an African perspective. Bring your questions. Leave with clarity. 🔗 Join the watch.
