According to Odaily, Jameson Lopp, co-founder of Bitcoin custody firm Casa, shared insights on social media regarding the risks posed by quantum computing to Bitcoin. Lopp noted that discussions on this topic have been ongoing for 18 months, with the main conclusion being a hope for a halt or regression in quantum computing development. He emphasized that adapting Bitcoin for a quantum-resistant era would be extremely challenging due to various factors.
Lopp reassured that quantum computers are unlikely to compromise the Bitcoin network in the short term. However, he warned that a comprehensive overhaul of the network, along with unprecedented fund migrations, could take 5 to 10 years. He advised maintaining optimism while preparing for potential adverse scenarios.#Bitcoin #QuantumComputing #JamesonLopp #CryptoSecurity #QuantumResistance #Blockchain #BitcoinNetwork #CryptoChallenges #FutureOfBitcoin #QuantumThreat #BTC
🚀 Michael Saylor Discusses Bitcoin Ordinals and Protocol Stability

According to Odaily, Michael Saylor shared his views on Bitcoin Ordinals during an appearance on Gokhshtein Media's 'The Breakdown' program. Saylor emphasized that the stability of the Bitcoin protocol is its core value. He supports users' freedom to utilize the Bitcoin network for activities such as inscribing ordinals but firmly opposes altering the underlying protocol or adding new features for this purpose.
Saylor neither endorses the censorship of inscriptions nor advocates for protocol changes to promote their development. He believes that Bitcoin's fundamental value lies in its monetary integrity rather than additional functionalities. Saylor advocates for allowing the market to naturally determine the direction of development and stresses that the Bitcoin network should be inclusive of all types of users, ranging from government institutions to individual investors.#MichaelSaylor #BitcoinOrdinals #BitcoinProtocol #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #ProtocolStability #BitcoinNetwork #DigitalCurrency #CryptocurrencyRegulation #MarketDevelopment #BTC
🚀 Bitcoin ZK-Rollup Project Citrea Launches Mainnet with DeFi Offerings
#Bitcoin #ZKRollup #Citrea #DeFi #MainnetLaunch #BitcoinMiners #Stablecoin #ctUSD #Blockchain #BitcoinNetwork #FoundersFund #GalaxyVentures #PaymentSystem #DataAvailability #Liquidity #BTC
On January 29, the Bitcoin ZK-rollup project Citrea, backed by Founders Fund and Galaxy Ventures, officially launched its mainnet. According to BlockBeats, Citrea aims to integrate idle Bitcoin into a comprehensive DeFi and payment system by introducing DeFi lending, structured products, and a native dollar stablecoin, ctUSD, collateralized by BTC.
Citrea anticipates that active DeFi liquidity could reach $50 million in the initial phase of the mainnet launch. The stablecoin ctUSD is issued by MoonPay and is pegged 1:1 to cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. It is natively issued on Citrea to minimize bridging risks and prevent liquidity fragmentation.
The project has sparked debate over whether non-payment uses like DeFi and stablecoins should support Bitcoin miners' fee income as block subsidies decrease. Proponents argue these uses provide sustainable demand, while opponents believe Bitcoin's block space should focus on simple, censorship-resistant payments.
Notably, during Citrea's testnet phase, data availability usage accounted for nearly 10% of Bitcoin's monthly data bandwidth, indicating that Rollup could significantly impact Bitcoin's block space.#Bitcoin #ZKRollup #Citrea #DeFi #MainnetLaunch #BitcoinMiners #Stablecoin #ctUSD #Blockchain #BitcoinNetwork #FoundersFund #GalaxyVentures #PaymentSystem #DataAvailability #Liquidity #BTC

Fractal Bitcoin has activated its FIP-101 node upgrade at block height 1,500,000, completing the first phase of planned consensus changes and formally launching standardized index construction on the network.The upgrade has received backing from major Bitcoin mining pools, including Foundry, AntPool, ViaBTC, F2Pool, and Binance Pool. Together, these pools represent approximately 85% of Bitcoin’s total network hash rate, signaling broad miner alignment with the upgrade.Consensus changes and index integrationAccording to the Fractal Bitcoin team, FIP-101 marks a key milestone in the network’s evolution, finalizing initial consensus adjustments while introducing a standardized framework for index construction. As part of the upgrade, index nodes will be integrated into the core block production and incentive layer, rather than operating as a peripheral system.The network’s block production structure will also undergo a phased transition. Fractal Bitcoin said it will move from its current 1:2 ratio of merged mining to solo mining toward a ternary structure, balancing merged mining, solo mining, and index block production at a 1:1:1 ratio. #FractalBitcoin #FIP101 #BitcoinUpgrade #MiningPools #BlockHeight1500000 #ConsensusChanges #IndexConstruction #BitcoinNetwork #MergedMining #SoloMining #BinancePool #Foundry #AntPool #ViaBTC #F2Pool
