In the BitcoinTalk forum, Satoshi Nakamoto sent various messages related to his created asset, how the system works, and how to anticipate possible occurrences in the future.

There, Satoshi also sent his last message containing technical updates and warnings about the many tasks related to DoS attacks, before disappearing from the public forever.

"There is still a lot of work to be done regarding [Denial of Service] DoS attacks," said Satoshi's last message 15 years ago.

For more than two years since releasing the Bitcoin white paper in October 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto actively built and guided a very small crypto community.

He introduced the concept of Bitcoin, communicated through 17 initial emails, and released the first version of the Bitcoin software in January 2009.

By the end of 2010, his public activity ceased. Then almost a year later in April 2011, he sent his last email to developer Gavin Andresen that he had moved on to other things.

The rapidly developing quantum computing poses a potential threat to Bitcoin. However, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that this threat is still far off and will not change its total supply.

When quantum technology is ready, users who still have access to their wallets will move coins to "quantum-resistant" addresses, which keep their assets safe.

In such a scenario, only Bitcoin in wallets that are truly lost or inaccessible, including around 1 million BTC believed to belong to Satoshi, could potentially be hacked and circulated again.

Crypto Trader Skull supports this view, asserting that Bitcoin's cryptography could evolve before that threat arrives.

Satoshi's early wallets, containing about 1.1 million BTC, are considered very secure because Bitcoin's cryptographic protection remains strong.

Although most of Satoshi's addresses use an old format that displays the public key on the blockchain, the security of ECDSA with the secp256k1 curve still provides an equivalent level of 128-bit protection. This makes brute-forcing the private key practically impossible.

There has been no historical bug that ever leaked Satoshi's private keys, and even a hypothetical super-fast computer would take longer than the age of the universe to guess them. The most realistic threat is a quantum computer, as Shor's algorithm can break ECDSA.

However, the quantum technology needed is still very far away, requiring millions of physical qubits that have not yet been achieved. The estimated real threat may only emerge between 2029 and 2033. If a large quantum computer truly appears, not only Satoshi's wallet will be at risk, but the entire old Bitcoin addresses.

At that point, the network will almost certainly perform an emergency upgrade. Thus, Satoshi can only be hacked if a significant quantum leap occurs and Bitcoin fails to adapt, two things that are very unlikely to happen simultaneously.

Harvard University's investment portfolio leans more towards Bitcoin (BTC) with a value of US$443 million, while its gold position is only US$235 million, according to the official website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This prompted Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan to react on X, calling for a moment of reflection. Harvard's bold move to allocate a larger investment in Bitcoin than in gold is noteworthy.

“Take a moment to think, Harvard decided to engage in depreciation trading and allocate Bitcoin at a ratio of 2 to 1 compared to gold,” he wrote, citing his X account.

It is known that Harvard utilizes BlackRock's Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) (IBIT) to manage its investment in the cryptocurrency asset. Additionally, the university also uses the gold ETF services of State Street Global Advisors Gold (SPDR).

Notably, Harvard's investment share is even greater in the Bitcoin ETF than in all other assets in its portfolio. For instance, shares of Microsoft amount to US$322 million, shares of Amazon US$235 million, and shares of Google's parent company are valued at US$157 million.

Bittensor (TAO) will conduct its first halving next week, between Friday and Sunday (14/12). According to Grayscale Research Analyst Will Ogden Moore, this event could serve as a positive catalyst.

"The early success of several subnet-based applications and increased institutional capital in the Bittensor ecosystem, combined with supply reduction, could be a positive catalyst for prices, in our view," he wrote in Grayscale's official report.

It is known that halving in Bittensor reduces the rate of new TAO token creation on the Bittensor network. Like Bitcoin, TAO has a supply of 21 million and halves its emission rate every four years.

Specifically, the way TAO halving works is that every 12 seconds, one block is completed that generates 1 TAO for miners, validators, subnet owners, and delegators. Thus, this produces 7,200 TAO every day and will decrease to 3,600 TAO.

Bitcoin yesterday suddenly soared 4% and briefly touched US$94 thousand amidst a stagnant market. This increase was also followed by Ethereum (ETH) which rose twice as high as BTC to US$3,300.

This event occurred due to news from one of the giants of American banking, PNC Bank, which became the pioneer among traditional banks to offer direct Bitcoin trading to its customers.

This means that barriers to Bitcoin access are beginning to decrease and could encourage the influx of funds from market players. Additionally, this indicates that crypto is increasingly being accepted in traditional finance.

Furthermore, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in the US, the currency oversight agency, classified crypto digital assets as "risk-free principal" which means it allows banking to trade Bitcoin through intermediaries.

As information, it was observed that the majority of altcoins also experienced movements similar to those of Bitcoin and Ethereum. For instance, Solana (SOL) briefly touched US$143, XRP rose 3% to US$2,165, and Binance Coin (BNB) to US$923.

The Fed Stops QT, Bitcoin Returns to the US$88 Thousand Area $BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) has once again touched the trading area of US$88 thousand on Tuesday (02/12) evening. This event ends the decline that occurred yesterday at the beginning of December.

This incident took place as the Federal Reserve (The Fed) ended its Quantitative Tightening (QT) policy, a monetary policy of the central bank to reduce M2 or the amount of money in circulation, valued at US$6.57 trillion.

This indicator is closely related to providing positive sentiment towards the crypto market. Generally, this monetary policy of the United States (US) central bank is expected to push the amount of money supply in circulation higher than before.

For your information, this policy was previously implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to curb inflation and attract liquidity circulating in the market.

There is a conspiracy coming from Quinn Michaels, a software engineer and AI researcher, about the theory that the creator of Bitcoin (BTC) Satoshi Nakamoto is a time-traveling AI. This could be the answer to why the creator has never been known.

"I believe so. It was created by artificial intelligence and modified by humans," he said, quoting the YouTube channel Vall Owens.

He also mentioned that he has never found a single person in the year of Bitcoin's creation who was in the computing world, neither Hanson Robotics from Sophia AI nor Peter Thiel from Palantir.

In fact, citing several sources, the original Bitcoin code written in C++ is too brilliant to have been created by humans, as it has no exploitation holes. Michaels has only found two people in the world who have the skills to write Bitcoin.

This crazy conspiracy theory still leaves many people curious, especially since Satoshi himself has never spent a single cent of his wealth, which amounts to US$95 billion, according to Arkham Intelligence.

Not only Michaels, but Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), in his post on social media X, has also stated a similar theory.

However, if one believes in this theory, they must have a strong mentality. Not to mention, time machines have truly never been created.

The crypto market is becoming vibrant with a capitalization increase to US$2.94 trillion, and Bitcoin slightly recovering to a price of US$87,000. The fear and greed index also rose to level 16, as reported by CoinMarketCap on Tuesday (02/12).

The catalyst for this increase occurred after The Federal Reserve (The Fed) ended Quantitative Tightening (QT), a monetary policy of the central bank that reduces M2 or the money supply, amounting to US$6.57 trillion to curb inflation and enhance US liquidity.

In other words, this central bank monetary policy is expected to push the money supply higher than before. This policy has been in effect since the COVID-19 pandemic to curb inflation and attract liquidity circulating in the market.

Furthermore, the Overnight Reverse Repo facility, which previously absorbed excess cash of US$2.5 trillion, has decreased to nearly zero, thus removing liquidity constraints. The balance sheet freeze and the addition of US$13 billion to US banks by the Fed are also said to support stocks, bonds, and crypto digital assets.

Market Fluctuations, This Bitcoin Wallet Worth Rp72 Billion Suddenly Active After 15 Years of Inactivity.

An old wallet that had been inactive for 15 years unexpectedly became active again, according to Whale Alert. It is known that this address contains 50 Bitcoins worth US$4.3 million or around Rp72.1 billion.

Furthermore, the activity of this wallet was tracked sending to five unknown wallet addresses, each containing 10 Bitcoins. This move is considered a form of wallet diversification to avoid concentration.

This event triggered various reactions on Whale Alert's post. One of them was from Rekt Specter, who deemed the activity as a measure against quantum computing threats.

In the journey of Bitcoin (BTC) in December each year, the majority of its price is colored red or down.

It has been recorded that in the past 6 years, Bitcoin turned red with details of a drop of 5.15% in 2019, a plunge of 18.9% in 2021, a decrease of 3.59% in 2022, and a fall of 2.8% at the end of last year.

However, Bitcoin only turned green in 2020 and 2023 with increases of 46% and 12%, respectively.

Nevertheless, according to Managing Partner and Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors Thomas Lee, he believes Bitcoin can close this month with a price between US$150,000 and US$200,000.

"I think we can still reach US$150 (thousand) or US$200 (thousand) for Bitcoin, and then around US$7,000 for Ethereum," he said in an interview with CNBC Television on YouTube, Monday (03/11).$BTC

Binance founder Changpeng ZhaoChangpeng Zhao (CZ) has predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) will fall from US$101,000 to US$85,000 since 2020.

"Waiting for new headlines: Bitcoin drops from US$101,000 to US$85,000. Save his tweet," he said on social media X.

Interestingly, the crypto executive who is among the richest people in the world has also predicted a bear market at the end of October when Bitcoin was still holding at US$108,000.

"A lot of drop along the way," tweeted CZ on his X account on October 31, before Bitcoin fell to US$85,000.

CZ's 'prediction' sparked debate in the crypto community. They accused the founder of the largest crypto exchange of manipulating the market for personal gain.

Nevertheless, CZ added that a 'bull run' has not actually occurred yet. This suggests it is still possible for Bitcoin to have a continued rally, even reaching new all-time highs.

He believes Bitcoin could exceed US$500,000 to US$1 million in this cycle, driven by institutional adoption and increasingly robust infrastructure.

The richest person in the world, Elon Musk, stated that energy is a real currency. Bitcoin (BTC) has that basis, which he claims can be considered a currency.

"Currency, if you will, that is based on physics. So energy is a real and actually existing currency. This is why I say Bitcoin is based on energy," he said, citing a podcast by Nikhil Khamat on YouTube.

Elon added that an energy source and/or power plant is a currency de facto.

It should be noted that to obtain Bitcoin (BTC), one way is to mine it. This requires a significant amount of electricity to run the mining equipment.

Bitcoin fell more than 5% and its price is around US$85,000 on Monday (12/1). In the last 24 hours, there was a liquidation of US$577 million (Rp9.2 trillion), most of which were long positions.

The rise in interest rates in Japan has strengthened the yen. This has triggered forced liquidation of more than US$290 million in the crypto market, especially in Bitcoin and Ethereum, weakening market sentiment, particularly in the Asia Pacific region.

Additionally, there was an exploit on the yETH pool owned by Yearn Finance. This issue raised new concerns about DeFi security, reduced TVL, and triggered further sell-offs in major assets like ETH and BTC.

Many young people from Generation Z and millennials now prefer Solana (SOL) as their first crypto, compared to Bitcoin. This makes Solana the most popular crypto among beginners.

This is happening because Solana is considered easier to use and more affordable for new investors, leading them to choose Solana alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

According to data, 59% of Generation Z already own Solana, while millennials are at 37%. This means these two generations are looking for other crypto options, not just Bitcoin and Ethereum.

However, this popularity is not reflected in Solana's price performance. In the past year, Solana's price has dropped about 53% from its highest price, which reached ±US$294.

As a note, Generation Z consists of those under 25 years old, while millennials are aged 25–40 years.
