Something tells me Bitcoin won't stay this quiet for much longer. I'm still betting on a strong move higher. The conviction hasn't changed. If anything, it's getting stronger.

What bothers me about this isn't even the memecoin itself. It's the culture we're building around it. Someone receives a massive token allocation, the market assigns it a paper value of tens of millions, and suddenly the story becomes another genius trader making $40M in an hour. Receiving tokens worth millions on paper is not the same as making millions from trading. But that distinction disappears when the headline matters more than the reality behind it. And when the platform itself promotes that narrative, thousands of people see it and think they could be next. We're turning speculative gambling into an aspirational lifestyle, with influencers presented as successful traders and unrealized gains celebrated as fortunes. I understand why this works. Attention brings users, trading volume and fees. But what worries me is the long-term damage we're doing to an industry that has spent years trying to build credibility. I have nothing against speculation or memecoins. But there's a difference between letting people gamble and constantly selling them the dream of getting rich. We're getting better at attracting people to crypto, but what exactly are we attracting them to?

Bitcoin is playing out nicely so far. The bearish divergence played out, RSI has cooled down, and BTC has already reclaimed $82K, even reaching $83.2K earlier today. Now I want to see $82K hold as support, followed by consolidation toward $88K. $90K my next target.

Crypto payments usually break at the accountant's desk, not at the blockchain. No invoice match, no bank confirmation, nothing to file. A7 International showed a flow at its launch that seems designed for that desk: • you upload the actual invoice, the system reads the details • the recipient company's registration certificate goes through verification • the counterparty receives a regular SWIFT transfer in the invoice currency • you get a document confirming the payment was executed • 0.3% fee, from one business day The payer uses USDT. The paper trail looks like a normal international transfer. Shor's framing: "We make complex financial operations understandable again." If the documents hold up in a real audit, this is the interesting part. Following: A7.biz #crypto #A7

Since reclaiming the Daily MA50, $BTC hadn't really retested it until now. Strong bounce from that level, with price pushing back toward $82.5K. As long as the MA50 holds as support, I expect another move toward the range highs.

I have a feeling we're entering one of those periods in crypto that people will look back on and wish they'd taken more seriously. I'm not saying everything goes up tomorrow, but I do think this is a time to be patient, make smart decisions, and pay attention to what's happening. Opportunities like these don't come around every year.

We've always assumed certain cryptographic problems are hard to solve because nobody has figured out a better way to crack them yet. AI could change that much faster than we expect. And that's what I find interesting here. It's not just about AI getting better at brute forcing cryptography, but potentially discovering entirely new ways to break it. Personally, I don't see this as a reason to worry about crypto's future. Quite the opposite. If crypto is going to become the foundation of a new financial system, it will have to keep evolving and adapting to challenges like this. And that's exactly what I'd expect from an industry that's still so early.
I don't recommend anyone scramble to move their funds to new wallets today. But we should take the risks to cryptography from AI-accelerated math seriously, and minimize our exposure to not just quantum-vulnerable cryptography, but also potentially AI-vulnerable cryptography. The core new area of risk from this viewpoint is, unfortunately, ML-DSA / FHE / lattices. (and it's also another reason, along with quantum, why ECDSA might fall even faster than expected, hence the "fresh address" recommendation) So far most people have been in the mode of thinking "elliptic curves broken, hashes safe, lattices safe". But there is a good chance that the concrete security of lattices will take serious hits from the next two years of AI math. The basic threat model is: factoring is something that naively takes 2^(n/2) time, but over decades smart people have found and optimized number field sieves, and degraded that to 2^O(n^(1/3)), which is why RSA keys and signatures need to be ~400 bytes (and not 64 bytes). What if there are skeletons in the closet like that, both for elliptic curves and lattices, that we are simply not smart enough to discover - but bots soon will be? This is a major part of the reason why for the past year ethereum's lean roadmap has been going in the "hash-only" direction: no lattices, no ML-DSA, no Falcon, no lattice-based commitments inside ZK proofs, etc. Signatures in lean ethereum are all hash-based, either WOTS or SPHINCS-. For signatures and proofs, we already know how to go hash-only. The bigger challenge is for *public-key encryption* - and this goes far beyond blockchains. Secure communication, anonymizing protocols, lots of things need public-key encryption. And unfortunately there are long-standing mathematical theorems showing why public-key encryption cannot be done with hashes alone. You have to have some kind of trapdoor object that has at least one form of usable "structure" - either group theory (incl. isogenies) or lattices or code-based or potentially in the future even more newfangled and spooky things (local mixing?). But for anything that has structure, you should assume that AI will make at least some progress in breaking that structure. Here, one reasonable inference is that if you want to make something plausibly long-term secure, multiply the key sizes by 10. To me that's a very plausible world and something not at all extreme to predict. If AI will bring us 50 years of math in 2 years, then that 50 years of math may very plausibly include a "naive factoring -> GNFS" level of improvement to our ability to break lattices. In that world, lattices will still exist, but they will have to be significantly bigger to guarantee the same level of safety. And at those new larger sizes, hash-based constructions will beat lattice-based constructions on concrete efficiency in every use case where hash-based constructions are possible at all. Theoretically, of course it's possible that hashes are broken too (eg. P = NP would imply that). But I think P = NP is very unlikely. And intuitively, it's much more likely that a mathematical object has exactly no exploitable structure (like hashes are intended to), than that a mathematical object has exactly ~3 forms of exploitable structure (for elliptic curves: associativity, Schoof, pairings) and not some secret fourth form of structure we have not yet discovered that greatly degrades its security (for elliptic curves, ECDLP and pairing security). Similar for LWE, SVP, RLWE and the zoo of lattice problems. For this reason, we do not yet see any reason to worry and start padding the byte size of hashes (if we start to worry more, we would pad the round count first before doing anything to the byte size). Concrete TLDR, my own personal views: * Hash-based > lattice-based, in those situations where hash-based is possible at all * For anything lattice-based, be much more paranoid on param sizes. Remember that blockchains are only a small portion of the cryptography story; this point goes far beyond blockchains and applies to eg. access to websites, secure messaging, Tor / VPNs ... * For privacy protocols, strongly favor NOT putting encrypted notes onchain. Instead, send them offchain through some third-party mechanism. * If it's not difficult for you, keeping your funds in addresses which have not yet been used to make a transaction is a good idea. If it's easy for you, do it. **But be careful about migrations; I personally have lost more money in botched migrations than I have lost in all hacks combined**. * For multisig wallets, doing confirmations offchain is better than onchain, because this way the signatures of signer wallets do not get exposed to the public, so if ECDSA falls to AI much faster than expected, at least the multisig "gracefully degrades" to a 1-of-1 where the 1 is whoever was gathering the signatures - a much better place to be than "anyone can take the money" firefly.social/post/x/210783…

BTC is back around $83K after failing to hold above $85K. The breakout never really had much behind it. Volume stayed light, fresh buyers didn’t really show up in size, and short term holders were already taking some profit into the move. Now we’re back around the $81K - $83K area, with a decent amount of liquidation liquidity sitting below. On the other side, options are still leaning bullish and there’s a much bigger short cluster up around $92K. There’s fuel on both sides here. Short term can stay messy. The bigger picture is what matters to me. Bullish.
