Saw some people panicking or asking about quantum computing's impact on crypto.
At a high level, all crypto has to do is to upgrade to Quantum-Resistant (Post-Quantum) Algorithms. So, no need to panic. 😂
In practice, there are some execution considerations. It's hard to organize upgrades in a decentralized world. There will likely be many debates on which algorithm(s) to use, resulting in some forks.
And some dead project may not upgrade at all. Might be a good to cleanse out those projects anyway.
New code may introduce other bugs or security issues in the short term.
People who self custody will have to migrate their coins to new wallets.
This brings to the question of Satoshi's bitcoins. If those coins move, then it means he/she is still around, which is interesting to know. If they don't move (in a certain period of time), it might be better to lock (or effectively burn) those addresses so that they don't go to the first hacker who cracks it. There is also the difficulty of identifying all his addresses, and not confuse with some old hodlers. Anyway, it's a different topic for later.
Fundamentally:
It's always easier to encrypt than decrypt.
More computing power is always good.
Crypto will stay, post quantum.

As it was expected in the previous chart the price did indeed enter the support area, so at this point we have the following conditions:

Let me share a little story on the largest ever single payment from @Binance, the $6m in 2017!
I hope this will help you better understand the #Binance culture.
Binance launched on July 14, 2017, having successfully raised $15m in its ICO two weeks prior.
Less than 6 week later, on Sept 4th, 2017, China issued a ban on crypto exchanges, crypto mining, as well as recommending any ICO projects to return users investments in full should the users want it.
With the announcement, many tokens dropped below their ICO price. BNB dropped from 22x to 6x of its ICO price. Luckily, it was still 6x. So no one wanted to return $6 for $1.
However, four other projects on Binance fell below their ICO prices. The teams behind those projects lacked the funds to fully reimburse their users.
Our team ran some calculations. The gap was about $6 million USD.
The team called me and asked if we should use our own funds to make our users whole, even though those were neither our projects, nor our obligation.
$6m million might not sound like a lot today, but to put it in perspective, we had raised $15 million just eight weeks prior. We were not profitable. We were buying servers and hiring people. We were burning cash.
Giving $6 million to users would deplete our corporate treasury by more than 40%.
I joined the call on a moving train in Tokyo. I asked if anyone had any objections.
No one objected. I said, “let’s do it”.
Percentage wise, that was the single largest transaction in our corporate history.
That announcement immediately received overwhelming responses from the crypto community, not only in China, but around the world.
No other company had protected its users to such an extent, even to this day.
The market rewarded us. Users from around the world joined us. They saw that Binance protected users with not just words, but with action and funds.
When we made the decision to make users whole, we had about 35,000 users. A month later, we had 120,000 users. We became profitable, and have been ever since.
Two months after that, we became the world’s largest crypto exchange, and have been ever since.
Hence our core value: Protect Users!
