Quantum computers - the biggest threat to Bitcoin yet? 🚨 We are LIVE with Prof. @or_sattath and Dr. @DesheShai. Watch NOW right here on X ⤵️ x.com/i/broadcasts/1dGYllLLW…

AI agents are signing transactions, holding keys, and moving real funds, usually with no guardrails at all. That's a brand-new attack surface, and your current security model wasn't built for it. Join us THIS WEDNESDAY for a deep technical session on securing autonomous agents, with Kevin Jones (@cryptomastery_), founder of @1clawAI and DevRel at @edgeandnode / @graphprotocol. What we're covering: • Why AI agents are a new class of attack surface • Giving an agent a leash (policy enforcement), a wallet (HSM-backed key custody), and a safety belt (pre-execution guardrails) • How @1clawAI secures the agent economy at scale • Practical patterns for builders shipping agents that touch real funds 🗓 Wednesday, June 17 🕔 17:00 IDT | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EDT 📡 Live on X, YouTube & LinkedIn If you're building or deploying onchain AI agents, this one goes straight to the core.

1/ Quantum computers are usually presented as a threat to cryptocurrencies. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers would break many assumptions used today. But there is also a longer-term, more optimistic possibility: Quantum cryptography may improve cryptocurrencies.

Fun fact: Bitcoin can be as secure as today WITHOUT ANY MINERS! (And no, I'm not talking about forking to PoS. I said "as secure" lol.) In fact, as long as everyone agrees on the hash of the last tip, you don't even need the internet. With quantum computers, it is possible to completely remove the need for Bitcoin mining in the long term while compromising hardly anything! The existing chain remains as a source of initial truth, and everything else remains offline. Double spending is not prevented by a network of verifiers, but by the laws of physics! Learn all about it from Tuesday's lectures about the quantum promise and threat to Bitcoin. @or_sattath (my Ph.D co-advisor and the S in LSZ) presented the promise, while I explained the threat 👿 The lectures are in English, link to the video in the original post.

Great turnout for the TLV web3 devs meetup tonight at @CatoNetworks on quantum cryptography

Bitcoin has survived every threat so far. Quantum is different. This Tuesday → Post-quantum cryptography, quantum money, Q-Day timelines. Speakers: @or_sattath, @DesheShai 📅 June 2 · 18:00 - 21:00 📍 Landmark Towers, Floor 38 · TLV Register: luma.com/hkw3vfyy?tk=ybWmDE

"Where do you store the password to your password manager?" @boazeb's answer: a paper vault. AES-256 encrypted, Shamir-split, unlocked by scanning two QR codes. All offline. Watch Boaz walk through @papervault_xyz live in the latest edition of the Underground.

Bitcoin has survived every threat thrown at it. Quantum computing is different. Web3 Devs Underground Monthly Meetup | Quantum Money Special 🚨 NEXT WEEK - Happening in person in Tel Aviv! Featuring: Prof. Or Sattath (@or_sattath), one of the world's leading quantum cryptography researchers, and Dr. Shai Wyborski (@DesheShai), quantum cryptography expert and former Kaspa core contributor. Both are co-developers of the Lifted FawkesCoin protocol, the first complete post-quantum migration solution for a live blockchain. What's on the table: post-quantum signatures, decentralized migration, quantum money as a cryptographic primitive, Q-Day timelines, and the solutions already being built: SHRIMPs, StarkWare's QSB, Commit-Delay-Reveal. 📅 Tuesday, June 2 · 18:00 – 21:00 📍 Landmark Towers, Floor 38 · Sarona, Tel Aviv Media & community partners: @MasterkeyVC · @B7Blockchain · @bengurionu · QUBIT-IL · Maakaf Food and drinks provided. Seats are limited 👇 luma.com/hkw3vfyy?tk=ybWmDE

Root of Trust & Bearer Asset Inheritance: How do you pass on a self-custody crypto wallet without compromising it while you're still alive? 📅 May 27 · 17:00 IL | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EDT 📍 Live on X, YouTube & LinkedIn Register 👉 luma.com/dxlu4a20?tk=CII01H

The fine folks at @Web3_Devs invited me to speak about @papervault_xyz next week. Some might say the implementation is just a UX wrapper of @privy_io's twice-audited zero-dependency SSS lib, and frankly, they would be right. But, nonetheless its served me well over the years.

On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. $41 at the time. $770M today. It's the most expensive meal in history. And it was also the moment Bitcoin (and crypto) stopped being a whitepaper and started being money. Here's what that pizza set in motion: (including a lot that happened right here) - In 2012, Israeli entrepreneur Yoni Assia (eToro) introduced Colored Coins, encoding real-world assets onto Bitcoin. A young Vitalik Buterin co-authored the whitepaper. - That work directly shaped Ethereum. Smart contracts are, in many ways, Colored Coins' full evolution. - Israel went on to build the first AMM (Bancor), the first MPC custody infrastructure (Fireblocks), and the first ZK-proof scaling solution for Ethereum (StarkWare). Much of it founded by veterans of IDF Unit 8200. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕 We're posting early — tomorrow we eat pizza... and cheesecake (IYKYK)!
