Quantum Hoax, LTC Compromised, Bitcoin Unaffected | CBP 262 Pt1

The "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin" just collapsed. Project Eleven paid 1 BTC for a 15-bit ECC break — but a classical computer does the same thing. Bitcoin's 256-bit security is untouched.A researcher won the Project Eleven Q-Day Prize for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer, billed by the press as the "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin to date." Within 48 hours half the crypto press had it framed as Q-Day. The reality: a $300 laptop can break a 15-bit ECC key in well under a second. Bitcoin uses 256-bit ECC. The gap between 15 bits and 256 bits is roughly 2^241 — a number larger than the atoms in the observable universe. Q-Day is real as a research milestone. Q-Day is FUD as a Bitcoin threat headline today.On this episode we break down what Project Eleven actually proved, why the "1 BTC bounty" isn't what crypto media made it sound like, why Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography is nowhere close to being broken, and what's REALLY worth paying attention to this week — from the Litecoin MWEB 13-block reorg to the Bitcoin Core v30 wallet migration drama, the Bitcoin Knots vs. Core fork update, Shakepay's new BTC-backed loans, SEC Chair Atkins' "innovation" pivot, Kraken's 56 million IRS tax forms, and a $1.1 BILLION Canada Child Benefit story most Canadians missed this week. Plus, of course, Mark Carney's new wealth fund. What a time to be alive.🔗 SPONSORS & LINKS🟠 Bull Bitcoin — Buy Bitcoin directly to your own wallethttps://mission.bullbitcoin.com/cbp🌐 EasyDNS — Domain registration & EasyMail security.Promo Code: CBPMedia (50% off first cart)⛏️ 256 Heat — Heat your home while mining Bitcoin256heat.com📚 BTC Mentor — Bitcoin security & inheritance planninghttps://btcmentor.io/aff/90/Subscribe to Canadian Bitcoiners: https://www.youtube.com/@CanadianBitcoinersSubscribe to clips: https://www.youtube.com/@CanadianBitcoinersClipsFollow Joey: @joeytweeetsFollow Len: @TheBTCPriceBotFollow the show on X: @canadianbtcpod#Bitcoin #Quantum #QuantumComputing #ProjectEleven #QDay #BitcoinFUD #BitcoinSecurity #Cryptography #BTC #Crypto #CanadianBitcoiners
