Big congrats to the $QUBIC team for resolving this issue so quickly! You guys did an amazing job! I was honestly losing faith, but well done! Especially to the core dev, Joetom.
Everyone is going to get their funds back, and for those questioning decentralization, this was a decision made by a group of computers that don’t know each other.
Centralization is when one person or entity controls a network. This is not what happened here.
And do not confuse decentralization with chaos.

Jesus is not a fake god. He is a historical figure with strong contemporary attestation, claimed divinity through resurrection accounts that launched the world's largest religion, and stands apart from the purely mythological figures in that image.

IS THE DRUCKENMILLER-BESSENT FEUD A CAREFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED GAME OF GOOD COP, BAD COP?
Druckenmiller has been making this same argument about government deficits for years. His criticism of Treasury intervention fits everything he has said about fiscal discipline and letting markets set the price of government debt.
However, it's the timing of the piece that should be more closely examined.
Druckenmiller and Bessent are extremely close. Bessent knows exactly how his former boss views attempts to suppress long-term yields. Now their disagreement is playing out publicly as Treasury expands its intervention in the long end.
Druck wants the bond market to force Washington to confront the fiscal problem.
Bessent appears focused on buying time, as allowing yields to run could trigger a crisis before Washington gets its fiscal house in order.
Then we have the third member of this party, Kevin Warsh.
If markets deteriorate and the case for a much larger liquidity response grows, Warsh could eventually emerge as the monetary “good cop.”
This all makes you wonder why this fight is happening out in the public.
Bessent just announced he was going to launch "Economic D-Day" on Iran and target all those who do business with the country. If he follows through, that could cause severe economic pain across the globe.
Do they need to set the stage for the money-printing bazooka in case it all goes wrong?
There may be a much bigger game being played.
STAN DRUCKENMILLER BLASTS BESSENT’S TREASURY BOND BUYBACK STRATEGY
Legendary investor Stanley Druckenmiller, Scott Bessent’s former boss, is sharply criticizing the Treasury Secretary’s attempt to push down long-term yields.
In a new WSJ op-ed, Druckenmiller argues Treasury’s decision to double long-dated bond buybacks from $2B to at least $4B per operation risks crossing the line from liquidity management into outright yield suppression.
“Once markets believe Treasury is defending a price, every rise in yields becomes a test of official resolve, and the operations must grow to survive the tests.”
Druckenmiller argues there is no obvious market dysfunction requiring intervention. Treasury auctions are functioning, volatility is contained and markets remain orderly.
With inflation above target, deficits around 6% of GDP and national debt above $40T, rising yields may simply be the bond market appropriately pricing America’s deteriorating fiscal position.
Suppressing those yields also removes one of the few remaining forces imposing fiscal discipline on Washington.
Druckenmiller goes even further, arguing that buying long-duration Treasuries while issuing short-term bills effectively removes duration from the market and begins to resemble a small-scale form of QE conducted by Treasury rather than the Fed.
And once traders believe Treasury is defending a particular level of yields, they have an incentive to test just how committed officials are to that defense.
His solution is simple. Let the bond market determine the price of government borrowing and fix the underlying fiscal problem through lower deficits, entitlement reform and better debt management.
The criticism is particularly notable given the history here.
Bessent worked for Druckenmiller at Duquesne Capital Management after both had worked under George Soros.
There was a compelling story that some of the greatest macro minds of their generation were finally in positions to confront America’s fiscal problem.
Druckenmiller’s op-ed throws some serious cold water on that idea.
If Washington refuses to address the underlying fiscal problem, increasingly aggressive attempts to suppress yields may only invite the bond market to test its resolve.

The COLDCARD RNG vulnerability may be worse than an exchange hack. It hit at the core of sovereign Bitcoin holders - it struck those who did all the research, understood why self-custody is important, and didn’t keep coins on exchanges.
My heart goes out to everyone affected. It’s a horrible situation and the damage is irreparable. While I have many thoughts and criticisms about how we got here, I’ll hold back because I know nvk is devastated too.
Self-custody is hard. If you advocate for self-custody, you should also be telling people to use a multi-vendor multisig setup. I’ve been saying this for years. Self-custody only works if you do it in a way that minimizes a single point of failure. Don’t trust any single vendor for hardware. Assume everyone is your adversary.
As self-custody is hard, we should be less critical of people who chose to use custodians or hold BTC in ETFs or Bitcoin Treasury Companies. There isn’t a single right or wrong way to use Bitcoin and there are tradeoffs everywhere.
Some people have contacted me about what to do. Here’s what I recommend:
1️⃣ Document everything. Write down all the facts and details you know (dates, addresses, firmware, etc.).
2️⃣ File a police report, as it creates an official record which is useful for a number of reasons. Even better if you can contact a cybercrime unit, national reporting portals (e.g., FBI IC3 in the US), or specialized crypto-crime task forces if they exist.
3️⃣ Watch for coordinated efforts to track movements of funds.
4️⃣ Do not destroy your COLDCARD and seed phrase. Hold onto them as there could be a chance that stolen funds reach an exchange, are frozen, and you need to prove ownership. Write down your PIN too, or note it in your documentation. When you stop using it for a long time, you may forget it.
5️⃣ This next point is very important: DO NOT share your personal details, seed phrase, or send any money to anyone claiming they can “help recover” the funds. Scammers will be targeting people who are desperate.
Just know that almost everyone has lost coins for some reason at some point. Don’t do anything rash. Talk to someone if you need to. You can always rebuild, but only if you’re still here.
For all of us developing wallets, software or hardware, security is the most important thing we provide. People are counting on us and we have to do better.

$Qubic is building something that hasn’t existed before.
A blockchain where mining trains artificial general intelligence.
Where transactions cost nothing.
Where 676 Computors reach instant consensus.
Where Oracle Machines will connect on-chain logic to the real world.
This isn’t a roadmap anymore.
The foundation is built.
2026 is when it converges.

≡ The Distributed Von Neumann Bottleneck and How Qubic Sidesteps It ≡
1/
Most modern computing still inherits a 1940s assumption.
The Von Neumann architecture separates:
• computation
• memory
• verification
On a single machine, this is manageable.
Across a network, it becomes a bottleneck.
2/
At scale, that separation turns into drift.
• computation runs ahead
• state lags behind
• correctness is checked later
Execution moves first.
Truth catches up afterward.
3/
This pattern shaped most distributed systems.
Databases commit, then roll back.
Blockchains execute, then reorganize.
Consensus negotiates history after it already moved.
Finality becomes something you wait for.
4/
This isn’t a speed problem.
It’s a topology problem.
When execution and verification are decoupled,
systems must tolerate ambiguity.
That’s acceptable for web apps.
Risky for finance.
Unworkable for real-time coordination.
5/
Qubic starts from a stricter assumption.
If correctness matters,
verification cannot be a post-process.
So Qubic collapses the stack into a single atomic event:
• computation
• state transition
• verification
Not phases.
One operation.
6/
In Qubic, a state transition exists only if
the quorum computes the same result within the same tick.
No speculative execution.
No rollback logic.
No probabilistic waiting.
If results diverge,
the system simply does not advance.
7/
This is how Qubic sidesteps the
Distributed Von Neumann Bottleneck.
Not by widening pipelines.
Not by adding layers.
By refusing to let execution outrun truth.
Compute does not race ahead of state.
Compute *is* the state transition.
8/
This architectural discipline is also why
Qubic reaches extreme performance.
When execution, verification, and commitment
are the same operation,
reconciliation overhead disappears.
15.5M transactions per second
are a proven capacity of this topology,
not a tuning trick.
9/
Most systems pipeline work:
Compute → Record → Verify → Reconcile
Qubic collapses the pipeline:
Compute ≡ Verify ≡ Commit
One clock.
One outcome.
10/
The old model assumed correctness
could be checked later.
Qubic assumes correctness
is the prerequisite for movement.
That single shift explains
both its determinism
and its performance.

Guess who left Bitcoin after government involvement by core devs?
Gavin (bitcoin core developer) visits CIA, satoshi lefts the project.
Guess who was never happy with Gavin. And also agains the "Bitcoin foundation"? dedecentralizationofbitcoin.…

They are saying that an Oracle in Qubic will be able to fetch data from any layer of the internet (OSI model). In other words, it does not matter what the technical source is.
And the important part:
The Oracle Machine should be built in a way that allows adding new connection types in the future, such as:
HTTP
TCP
WebSocket
UDP
In shjort: The Oracle Machine needs to be flexible so it can connect to any type of data source in the future.

Hi crypto survivors! 🤖
I decided to write the most comprehensive guide to @garthonqubic
airdrops I possibly can.
This is honestly one of the most innovative and sustainable reward systems in crypto, made possible only on $QUBIC. It creates real buying pressure and still delivers incredible returns. How is this possible?
Let’s break it down properly. 🧵👇 1/14

Open letter to the $Qubic community:
I've been in the crypto space since 2017. I started with $3k and I've made almost 7 figures with one simple strategy: Research, buy and hold high-quality-high-conviction projects with strong teams that inspire people and have the potential to become a paradigm shift for the world. And most importantly: Double down on your conviction when there is a flash sale. Ignore noisy vaporware. Utility always wins. Last but not least: Don't compare your gains to others. This will make you roundtrip and lose everything.
What we're seeing right now is the opportunity of a lifetime.
I cannot emphasize this enough. $Qubic is not only one of the safest investments in crypto today but also has the highest upside and one of the most future-proof business models I have ever seen.
However, this only works if you - the people behind Qubic who truly believe in decentralized compute and decentralized AI - play a part. This means that each of you investors holding a significant bag should consider setting up a miner, securing the network, and contributing to building out Aigarth - at the very least.
Mining is what makes all the difference. If you haven't started mining Qubic, start now. The hardware is cheap. The impact is huge. If you believe in useful-proof-of-work, then contribute to it. If you want AI in the hands of the people, be one of the people responsible for making that happen.
Here’s why I'm so confident in Qubic being one of the safest bets in crypto right now: As long as we're generating profit with our CPUs and GPUs, we don't need to worry about Qubic's roadmap. It's up to all of us to protect our investment when (not if) an economic reset occurs.
I believe Bitcoin will be a safe haven during an economic crisis, but given the volatility, it's likely to get worse before it gets better. Now is the time to reaffirm your conviction and contribute to Qubic's valuable PoW.
If the market dips, have dry powder ready to average down. Ignore emotions. Panic = Poverty. Buy when there's blood on the streets. Buy only projects that will push the industry forward.
Qubic's fundamentals are unchanged. The community is one of the strongest I've seen for a 150-200m cap project. Nothing comes even close. I'm seeing more builders than ever.
Be one of them. Mine, build, contribute.
And you will be able to retire your entire bloodline.
