A new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) aims to tackle the threat posed by quantum computers by phasing out Bitcoin’s legacy signature schemes, which can be vulnerable to quantum attacks, in favor of quantum-resistant alternatives.The proposal, titled “Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset,” was drafted earlier this week by a group of cryptography and blockchain experts, including American software engineer Jameson Lopp and BitcoinQS founder Christian Papathanasiou.While quantum computers powerful enough to crack Bitcoin’s cryptography are not yet here, recent developments have narrowed the window. Some academic forecasts suggest quantum machines capable of threatening Bitcoin (BTC) could arrive as early…

I grew up in northwest Iowa, the heart of the Corn Belt, renowned for some of the most fertile and productive farmlands in the world. When my grandpa planted corn and beans, he knew Uncle Sam would come for his portion — not when he planted, not while it grew and not when he harvested — but when he sold it.

Not only that, when people use bitcoin to buy…

The companies could face an uphill battle. Right now, most of the public perceives AI’s use in the classroom as nothing short of ruinous—a surefire way to dampen critical thinking and hasten the decline of our collective attention span (a viral story from New York magazine, for example, described how easy it now is to coast through college thanks to constant access to ChatGPT).  Amid that onslaught, AI companies insist that AI promises more individualized learning, faster and more creative lesson planning, and quicker grading. The companies sponsoring this initiative are, of course, not doing it out of the goodness…

What is a hard cap? A hard cap is the maximum supply of a cryptocurrency that can ever exist. It’s hardcoded into the blockchain’s code and sets a strict limit on how many tokens or coins can be created. This limit promotes scarcity, which can help boost the value of each token over time.Take Bitcoin (BTC), for example. Its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, set a hard cap of 21 million coins. No matter how much demand there is or how many miners try to produce new Bitcoin, the supply will never exceed 21 million.Why does a hard cap matter?Absolute scarcity is…
