Quantum computing: de nieuwe ‘bubble’ volgens de Bitcoin Astronaut en Adam Back
Het gonst weer eens van de geruchten. Krantenkoppen waarschuwen dat quantum computers binnenkort krachtig genoeg zijn om Bitcoin te kraken. Maar wie luistert naar de mensen die de techniek echt snappen, hoort een heel ander verhaal. Neem Satofishi, ofwel Chun Wang. We noemden hem eerder een ’travel documenter’, maar als commandant van de SpaceX Fram2-missie verdient hij de titel Bitcoin Astronaut. Deze astronaut, die binnenkort letterlijk boven de problemen zweeft, sluit zich volledig aan bij cypherpunk-legende Adam Back. Hun oordeel is helder: de angst voor quantum is een luchtbel. De fameuze secp256k1-beveiliging van Bitcoin gaat voorlopig nergens heen. Sterker nog, ze schatten dat we nog zeker 30 tot 50 jaar verwijderd zijn van een computer die Bitcoin daadwerkelijk kan bedreigen. If Moore’s law were to apply to quantum computing, it may take at least 30 to 50 years before quantum computers pose a practical threat to secp256k1. — Chun (@satofishi) December 21, 2025 Waarom quantum voorlopig geen gevaar is Om te begrijpen waarom de paniek overdreven is, moeten we even naar de techniek kijken zonder er een wiskundeles van te maken. In theorie kunnen quantum computers met ‘Shor’s algoritme’ privésleutels berekenen uit publieke sleutels. Dat klopt op papier. De praktijk is echter weerbarstig. Back en Wang wijzen op een detail dat vaak over het hoofd wordt gezien: de Wet van Moore gaat niet zomaar op voor qubits, de bouwstenen van een quantum computer. We hebben apparaten nodig met duizenden, misschien wel miljoenen stabiele qubits om cryptografie te breken. De huidige systemen zijn juist enorm instabiel. Ze maken voortdurend fouten. Het corrigeren van die fouten kost zoveel extra rekenkracht dat de netto vooruitgang minimaal is. Je probeert in feite een kluis te kraken met een rekenmachine die bij elke som een willekeurig ander antwoord geeft. JUST IN: Travel documenter @satofishi agrees with Adam Back (@adam3us), quantum computing is a "bubble" that won't crack Bitcoin's secp256k1 curve anytime soon, estimating 30-50 years if Moore's Law applies. Why it matters: This pushes back against quantum fears in crypto! pic.twitter.com/kw4MQsyxdv — Bitcoin Magazine NL (@BitcoinMagNL) December 22, 2025 Bangmakerij of reëel risico? Adam Back is stellig en noemt de huidige verhalen pure bangmakerij. Het past in de bekende hype-cyclus van de crypto-industrie. Verhalen over de ondergang van digitaal geld verkopen nu eenmaal beter dan een nuchtere analyse over een beveiligingsupdate over twintig jaar. Want dat is het andere punt waar de Bitcoin Astronaut op hamert. Bitcoin staat niet stil. Mochten quantum computers over veertig jaar toch een gevaar vormen, dan heeft het netwerk allang maatregelen genomen. Denk aan updates zoals Lamport signatures of andere post-quantum cryptografie. Het systeem kan zichzelf simpelweg ‘patchen’ tegen nieuwe dreigingen. Dertig jaar adempauze De schatting van 30 tot 50 jaar is niet zomaar een gok. Het is gebaseerd op het huidige tempo van technologische ontwikkeling en de enorme natuurkundige obstakels die nog overwonnen moeten worden. Zelfs als de rekenkracht elke twee jaar verdubbelt, duurt het nog decennia voordat we op een niveau zitten dat gevaarlijk is voor het netwerk. Zoals Chun Wang het ziet, is de kans groter dat we Mars koloniseren voordat een quantum computer je wallet leegrooft. Moet je je zorgen maken over je portfolio? Nee. De consensus tussen zwaargewichten als Adam Back en Satofishi is duidelijk. Quantum computing is op dit moment vooral een modewoord, een spookverhaal zonder tanden. De technologie is fascinerend, maar het idee dat Bitcoin morgen of volgend jaar breekt is sciencefiction. De enige lancering waar we op moeten letten is die van de astronaut zelf. HODL gerust verder.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says
Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder. Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls Target $8,500 With Big Money Backing The Move – Details Reaction And Possible Risks Based on coverage of the launch, investors have reacted with both enthusiasm and caution. Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps
The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach
The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy. Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider. Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
