Quantum computing still feels like science fiction to most people in crypto.
But the research is moving faster than many realize.
Earlier this year, Google Quantum AI published new research on Shor's algorithm and secp256k1, the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin.
Under the hardware and error rate assumptions used in the research, the estimated number of physical qubits required for this type of attack fell to roughly one-twentieth of previous estimates.
That does not mean a quantum computer can derive Bitcoin private keys today.
But it does mean that a future quantum computer capable of threatening Bitcoin cryptography may require significantly fewer resources than researchers previously estimated.
And the work is continuing. Researchers are still finding ways to make the algorithms and quantum circuits involved more efficient.
The progress in quantum computing appears to be moving faster than the conversation around it in crypto.
Most crypto users still see quantum risk as something far in the future.
Something to think about later.
But how far away is "later"?
Crypto has a Fear and Greed Index to measure how the market feels every day.
Maybe one day we will need a way to measure quantum risk too.
At MemeBitcoin, Crack has never been symbolic.
Every Crack generates a real candidate private key and checks whether it matches the target associated with Satoshi.
With today's computing, the probability of finding the correct key is effectively zero.
But "impossible" in cryptography is not a law of nature.
It is a statement about how much computation is required.
And that is exactly what advances in quantum computing are beginning to challenge.
For now, the mathematics still holds.
For now, those coins remain untouched.
For now.
An estimated 1,096,361 BTC, held in wallets widely associated with Satoshi, has remained untouched since Bitcoin's earliest days.
We have been cracking toward it, one key at a time.
Soon, there will be another reason to Crack.
We will announce the Week 2 POV Emblem winners within the next 48 hours.
Thank you to everyone who continues to join and share POV.
Stay tuned for the results!
We asked what you would ask Satoshi.
Now, you can ask.
Satoshi AI Beta is now live.
Built from Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper, emails, and forum posts published before he went silent, Satoshi AI responds based on the words and ideas he left behind.
But this is only the beginning.
Through every conversation with the MemeBitcoin community, Satoshi AI will continue to learn, evolve, and become something we build together.
A new emblem can now be earned through Satoshi AI.
How you unlock it is yours to discover.
Talk to Satoshi AI.
Help bring him back.
K1 Research breaks down how MBTC turns that mystery into something people can participate in through cracking, content, and community.

Amadeus Wallet is now LIVE on the Google Play Store.
Agentic finance, now in your pocket.
Hold and manage AMA assets, track PRIME Points, and act on Amadeus from your phone.
Big week for AMA.
Since we launched ama hub, 75k agents have been created. And we haven't slowed down shipping.
Here's what went out this week:
🔁 Trading & Swaps — Uniswap v3 skill, LiFi routing, sturdier Solana swaps
🏆 Quests & Rewards — new execution quests, accurate payouts, fair play cleanup
🛠 Studio & Automations — agents now optional, every automation editable
⚙️ Platform & polish — chat reliability, live pricing page
More details on this release soon.
compose on AMA.
The Amadeus Founding Validator Program is now live.
A limited cohort of infrastructure providers, protocols, institutions and ecosystem partners will help secure and shape Amadeus as we scale the confidential L1 for agentic finance.
And there are two ways in:
⚡ Bring compute
Run an Amadeus node and contribute real compute to the network. Rank among the top solvers and earn AMA every epoch.
🔒 Bring stake
Operate a validator backed by 1M+ AMA through LockupVaults — your own stake, delegated stake, or a combination.
For selected founding partners, the AMA treasury can even provide the initial 1M AMA required to qualify, removing the upfront capital barrier.
Founding validators also receive:
→ Validator rewards and commissions
→ Governance seats
→ Founding partner recognition
→ Ecosystem visibility
→ AMA Hub + compute credits
→ Full technical onboarding and validator support
→ +5% bonus yield for the first 12 months for eligible early vaults
Amadeus has been live since March 2025.
The validator set that secures its next phase is being formed now.
The founding cohort is limited. Once it closes, it closes.
