Quantum won’t break Bitcoin tomorrow — but migrating the network could take a decade

The near-term quantum panic is mostly noise: today’s machines can’t crack Bitcoin’s cryptography. The real issue is operational — coordinating a network-wide migration to post-quantum security could take 5–10 years, and markets price long-horizon risks early.

Russia’s central bank starts treating Bitcoin mining like an export channel

Russia’s central bank governor is now saying mining may be supporting the ruble — a sharp tone shift after years of anti-crypto rhetoric. If policy follows the rhetoric, the next step is “licensed rails” (banks) rather than bans. [[DL News|https://www.dlnews.com/articles/markets/bitcoin-mining-may-be-strengthening-russian-ruble/]]

Inside Lugano’s “Bitcoin city” experiment

In Lugano, you can pay for coffee, childcare, and luxury handbags with Bitcoin. The city has rolled out crypto terminals to hundreds of merchants and teamed up with Tether on an initiative called Plan B. On paper it’s one of the most advanced Bitcoin payment ecosystems on the planet. In practice, usage is still thin — and the experiment exposes the real frictions of building a circular BTC economy.

Russia’s mining “export”, banks circling BTC, and quantum time-horizons

Central banks and institutions are quietly reframing Bitcoin — not as a speculative asset, but as an export, a liquidity hedge, and a parallel rail. From Russia’s mining calculus to bank balance sheets and long-horizon tech bets, today’s signals point to structural positioning, not hype.

For the first time in six weeks, big buyers are absorbing more BTC than miners produce

After a brutal 30% drawdown from October’s highs, new data shows institutional Bitcoin demand has flipped net supply negative again. Large buyers are taking more BTC off the market than miners are issuing — even as spot ETFs bleed hundreds of millions in outflows. It’s not full bull-market mode, but it is a key shift in the supply–demand balance.
