China's Quantum Leap: Is Bitcoin Really in Danger, or Are We Asking the Wrong Question?

When China unveiled yet another breakthrough in quantum computing, headlines followed a familiar script. "Bitcoin could be broken." "Cryptocurrency faces extinction." "Quantum computers will destroy blockchain." They make for excellent clickbait. But they also miss the bigger story. Because Bitcoin is not what should keep governments awake at night.

Heavy Gunfire Near Haiti's National Palace in Port-au-Prince


Reports from news agency EFE indicate heavy gunfire was seen near Haiti's national palace in Port-au-Prince on Friday, amidst political turmoil triggered by Prime Minister Ariel Henry's absence.

Last Sunday, Haiti declared a state of emergency due to escalated violence, prison breakouts by armed gangs, and displacement of over ten thousand people. Henry was away in Kenya, negotiating for international support to combat the country's gangs.

The United States urged Haiti's prime minister to expedite a political transition as armed groups seek his removal.

Henry, Haiti's interim leader, recently arrived in Puerto Rico. The situation remains tense as the nation grapples with instability and violence. Stay tuned for further updates.
