A quantum computer could steal $74 billion in Satoshi's Bitcoin — and the only proposed fix might be worse than the problem.

In this episode of Good For Bitcoin, Brandon and Kate discuss:

• BlackRock's IBIT sees over $700M in inflows this week — and Strategy adds 13,927 BTC, now holding over 780,000 BTC and back in profit above $77K
• Goldman Sachs enters the Bitcoin ETF game with a premium income ETF — using an options-based strategy to generate yield on BTC exposure
• World Liberty Financial (Trump's DeFi project) minted tokens, used them as collateral to borrow $75M, and drained 55% of Dolomite's liquidity pool — drawing comparisons to FTX. Justin Sun publicly called it a "personal ATM for insiders"
• New Presidio Bitcoin report: 6.5 million BTC would be immediately vulnerable if a cryptographically relevant quantum computer existed today — with 4.5M of that exposure reducible right now just by rotating to fresh addresses
• BIP 361 (co-authored by Jameson Lopp) proposes freezing quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin, including Satoshi's coins — a three-phase approach that would eventually render all legacy UTXOs unspendable
• Adam Back pushes back, arguing an optional quantum-safe upgrade is the right path — and the philosophical debate over "your keys, your coins" vs. protecting the network heats up
• Pakistan's Central Bank reverses its crypto ban, now allowing banks to open accounts for licensed Bitcoin and crypto service providers
• Bitcoin passes block 945,000 — we're now halfway to the next halving, and the 4-year cycle is tracking almost exactly to historical patterns
• Charles Schwab launches direct BTC and ETH trading at just 75bps — competing head-on with Robinhood and Coinbase
• Tether releases a self-custody wallet with Bitcoin, Lightning, USDT, and USAT support — plus human-readable tether.me addresses
• Tim Draper predicts $250K Bitcoin within 18 months. OG Satoshi-era whale exits after 15 years, selling 3,500 BTC (~$260M) all at once

Starkware just dropped a white paper that makes Bitcoin transactions quantum-resistant today — no soft fork, no protocol changes — but it'll cost you $150 per transaction in GPU compute. Meanwhile, the New York Times thinks they've finally figured out who Satoshi is.

In this episode of Good For Bitcoin, Brandon and Kate discuss:

• BTC up 6% on the week past $73K, fear and greed at 16 — still extreme fear
• Strategy buys 4,871 BTC (now 766,970), Strive adds 113 BTC, CanGo sells 2,000 BTC to pay off Bitcoin-backed loans

• Experts launches Agent Wallet — a Bitcoin-native agentic wallet with Lightning and self-custody
• AIBTC nearing 1,000 AI agents on Stacks
• Starkware's Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB) — quantum-resistant transactions with no fork required, $150/tx in GPU compute, and Google's 2029 quantum timeline
• New York Times claims Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto — and Jameson Lopp hints he may actually know
• Treasury designates Robinhood and BNY Mellon as vendors for Trump Accounts
• White House paper debunks bank fears about stablecoin yield, FDIC proposes GENIUS Act framework
• Drift on Solana hacked for $285M by North Korean Lazarus group after a 6-month social engineering campaign
• Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) launches — best first day of any ETF they've ever launched
• Solo miner mines an entire Bitcoin block worth ~$210-224K
• Iran now seeking $1/barrel of oil through the Strait of Hormuz — paid in Bitcoin
