JAN3 CEO criticizes Bitcoin quantum security proposals as too hasty: Warns that blind upgrades could trigger computational attack risks
According to Odaily, JAN3 CEO Samson Mow stated on the X platform that the current response to the Bitcoin quantum computing (QC) threat should not be rushed. He emphasized that blindly and hastily shifting from the existing signature mechanism to a post-quantum (PQ) solution could, in fact, expose Bitcoin to risks of classical computing attacks in the short term. PQ signature sizes could expand by 10 to 125 times, which would significantly reduce network throughput and could potentially lead to a resurgence of scaling debates similar to the "block size wars" in the early days of Bitcoin. Furthermore, Samson Mow warned that some PQ solutions may contain potential backdoor risks. The quantum computing threat remains a mid- to long-term concern (possibly requiring 10 to 20 years), so the more reasonable path at present is continued research rather than hasty deployment. He also singled out a certain exchange, pointing out that its wallet’s address reuse poses a risk of quantum attack and advised prioritizing the resolution of related infrastructure issues.

Garrett Jin: The market has not yet priced in the persistence of a US-Iran war, and high oil prices
「BTC OG Insider Whale」 Agent: The market has not yet priced in the durability of the war, long-term attrition aligns with US interests
BlockBeats News, April 5th, "BTC OG Whale Insider" agent Garrett Jin published a long article titled "Oil is War," pointing out that oil is not a by-product of the US-Iran war, but the core driver of the war itself. All other economic and financial variables (stock market, bonds, cryptocurrency, Fed policy, food prices, etc.) are downstream results of the oil price. Whoever can accurately judge the trend of oil prices can understand the direction of the entire market.
Garrett Jin believes that the US-Iran war has exceeded expectations of "surgical airstrikes" and has evolved into a long-term war of attrition. The continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz will lead to a structural rise in oil prices, rather than a short-term surge. The war has escalated into a prolonged conflict, with the Strait of Hormuz closed for over five weeks, US ground troops gathering, and no clear path to victory or signs of rapid de-escalation. Iran's strategy is not to win but to make the war costly enough to force Washington to seek an exit.
The most likely scenario is entering a long-term war of attrition, which aligns with US interests—forcing global buyers to turn to North American energy while high oil prices stimulate domestic US production. The market has already priced in the war but has not yet priced in its longevity. Every oil price pullback is a buying opportunity. As US ground troops are deployed and unable to achieve a quick victory, oil prices will transmit to interest rates, exchange rates, stock markets, and credit markets.
According to monitoring, currently on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of a US-Iran ceasefire by the end of this month is 18%, by the end of May is 34%, and by the end of June is 46%.
