Bitcoin Offers ‘No Haven’ From Trump’s Greenland Dreams
The world breathed a small, collective sigh of relief on Wednesday when US President Donald Trump said he would not use force to take over Greenland during a rambling, hour-long speech to a crowd of world leaders in Davos. Trump argued why the US should rightly own Greenland, ostensibly as a bulwark against Russian or Chinese influence in the region.

The critical reason you should never ask ChatGPT for legal advice
Consulting an AI chatbot for legal matters can see your chat history used against you by opposition lawyers… and potentially risks waiving attorney-client privilege with your own lawyer. AI tools are affordable, if unreliable, sources of legal advice and their use raises uncomfortable questions about privilege, discoverability and how much control users really have over their data. Those risks are already materializing in courts. AI companies have been compelled to retain user chat logs that would otherwise have been deleted. AI use in the legal field is increasing, but it…
Here’s How XRP Is Building The Financial Rails For Trillions In Global Value

This confidence relies on the risky assumption that the quantum threat begins only once a machine can break keys in real time. Adam Back argued that Bitcoin has at least 20-40 years to ready itself, but the quantum threat is already…
