"What If Quantum Computers Break Bitcoin One Day A new fear is quietly spreading through crypto markets: Quantum Computing. Not today not tomorrow but eventually. If quantum machines reach sufficient scale todays cryptography could be challenged and Bitcoin sits at the center of that debate. Vitalik Buterin has already addressed the long-term risk allocating funds toward quantum-resistant research and pushing discussions around post-quantum security. Other blockchain ecosystems are beginning to explore similar defenses. For now Bitcoin remains safe; current quantum hardware is nowhere near"

"$SAIRI Flying under the radar not for long. 🟢@santisairi is building the future of AI-generated gaming. Founded by elite dev @santisiri creator of Proof of Humanity ($1B MC) with support from Vitalik Buterin. 🔵This field is still unexplored. I have seen text-to-text text-to-image and text-to-video. -Text-to-3D characters are an early building block toward fully generative games where AI doesnt just create assets but dynamically generates characters behaviors and gameplay from prompts. Just a matter of time before they see the vision and the use case; DEV cracked."
