TRM reports that about 88% of inflows originate from local Iranian sources. Rather than pure capital flight, the data points to a closed-loop economy where funds circulate between domestic exchanges and…

Bitcoin may face hard fork over any attempt to freeze Satoshi’s coins

A controversial hard fork of Bitcoin may be needed to resolve an impossible choice between freezing the BTC in addresses owned by Satoshi Nakamoto and the early miners, or seeing them stolen and dumped in a potential quantum attack. That’s according to Bitcoin Core developer and Blockstream co-founder Matt Corallo, who said recently the outcome of such a fork is pre-ordained. The Sophie’s Choice style dilemma is caused by the fact that around 1.72 million coins in these early pay-to-public-key (P2PK) mining addresses are quantum vulnerable and have been dormant…
