Bitcoin Down 44% From Its Peak, But Bitwise Still Sees A Path To $1 Million

All 21 million Bitcoin is at risk from quantum computers

It’s widely believed that only about 25% to 30% of Bitcoin is at risk of being attacked in the future by quantum computers.  For example, Project 11’s Bitcoin Risq List currently lists 6,887,180 Bitcoin worth more than $450 billion as “at risk.” It defines “at risk” as Bitcoin held in addresses with exposed public keys.

Scaling AI Makes It Riskier

Opinion by: Mohammed Marikar, co-founder at Neem Capital Artificial intelligence has consistently been defined by scale, so far — bigger models, faster processing, expanding data centers. The assumption, based on traditional technology cycles, was that scale would keep improving performance and, over time, costs would fall and access would expand. That assumption is now breaking down. AI is not scaling like other software. Instead, it is capital-intensive, constrained by physical limits, and hitting diminishing returns far earlier than expected. The numbers make this clear. Electricity demand from global data centers…
