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.

US Dispatches Marines to Haiti as Deployment of Kenya Police Delays

Amid escalating chaos and gang takeovers of key installations in Haiti, the US State Department on Sunday 10 March deployed Marines to safeguard the US embassy in Port Au Prince.

This move comes as the Kenya-led peacekeeping mission faces delays.

Gang violence has disrupted operations and blocked Prime Minister Ariel Henry from returning after a trip to Kenya. Gang leaders are calling for his resignation and threatening further violence.
