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. The real question is what happens when someone builds the world's first genuinely useful quantum computer. If that day arrives, cryptocurrencies will simply be among the first dominoes. ๐—•๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป'๐˜€ ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜๐—ต ๐— ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—”๐—น๐˜€๐—ผ ๐—•๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ Bitcoin's security rests on mathematics.

Kenyan Special Forces Kill Al-Shabaab Fighters in Garissa


Kenyan Special Forces (SOG) have neutralised Al-Shabaab militants en route to Fafi Constitncy in Garissa. 

The highly-trained soldiers eliminated 5 militants and captured 4 fighters who are currently undergoing interrogation. They recovered 2 PKM, 1 RPM, 6 AKs, and a number of IED-making materials. 

Additionally, mobile phones and SIM cards were also recovered. A quick exploitation of the phones has so far provided important leads on a number of local Al-Shabaab facilitation networks.

The intelligence-led operation caught the Al-Shabaab fighters by surprise as they crossed into kenya to establish a temporary camp in the Fafi area of Garissa.
