GM. Zen morning just watching the horses do their thing #asknostr image
💯 "A Treasury with a million bitcoin would be trapped by its own portfolio. Congress could never exercise monetary sovereignty by limiting bitcoin mining or trading, because the price of the Treasury’s own assets would immediately collapse." #asknostr image
...and my friend who is a vicar just asked me about Bitcoin. Cue the banana zone!
A Good Morning! My guilty pleasure...Tony's Cholcoloney washed down with a double espresso. #asknostr image
Isn't this a bit like fuelling up a rocket with a steam-engine? image
GM all. can anyone help direct me to a comprehensive analysis of quantum computing potential impact on Bitcoin? thank you!
EU Pushing for Extended Search Capabilities to Access Encrypted Data The EU has published it's "First report on encryption by the EU innovation hub for internal security". The direction of travel is clear when it comes to crypto, Bitcoin, Layer 2s and ZKP. Here are some of the conclusions: - Extended search capabilities and means for targeted lawful access could be beneficial in capturing encrypted data. - The wider debate on the use or introduction of alternative means of bypassing encryption (e.g. client-side scanning) is another area that deserves continued scrutiny. - Cryptocurrencies continue to be popular with criminals for hiding their transactions and laundering criminal proceeds. There are currently various difficulties in finding the real identities of criminals, due to mixing services and non-compliant exchanges. Moreover, criminal adoption of zero-knowledgeproofs and layer 2 applications will further complicate law enforcement efforts to trace criminal funds. Collaboration with academia and private industry is needed, so these trends can be monitored and novel tools can be created. image
