The "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin" just collapsed. Project Eleven paid 1 BTC for a 15-bit ECC break — but a classical computer does the same thing. Bitcoin's 256-bit security is untouched.A researcher won the Project Eleven Q-Day Prize for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer, billed by the press as the "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin to date." Within 48 hours half the crypto press had it framed as Q-Day. The reality: a $300 laptop can break a 15-bit ECC key in well under a second. Bitcoin uses 256-bit ECC. The gap between 15 bits and 256 bits is roughly 2^241 — a number larger than the atoms in the observable universe. Q-Day is real as a research milestone. Q-Day is FUD as a Bitcoin threat headline today.On this episode we break down what Project Eleven actually proved, why the "1 BTC bounty" isn't what crypto media made it sound like, why Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography is nowhere close to being broken, and what's REALLY worth paying attention to this week — from the Litecoin MWEB 13-block reorg to the Bitcoin Core v30 wallet migration drama, the Bitcoin Knots vs. Core fork update, Shakepay's new BTC-backed loans, SEC Chair Atkins' "innovation" pivot, Kraken's 56 million IRS tax forms, and a $1.1 BILLION Canada Child Benefit story most Canadians missed this week. Plus, of course, Mark Carney's new wealth fund. What a time to be alive.

BIP 361: Bitcoin Core devs want to FREEZE Satoshi's coins — 5.6M BTC (~30%) permanently locked to stop quantum computing attacks. Is it theft or survival? The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast debates.This week Len and Joey break down the most controversial Bitcoin proposal in years: BIP 361, the post-quantum migration plan championed by Hunter Beast that would render an estimated 5.6 million Bitcoin — including Satoshi Nakamoto's untouched stash — unspendable after a hard cutoff date.Supporters call it the only realistic defense against Shor's algorithm and a future quantum adversary capable of cracking legacy P2PKH keys. Critics call it a precedent-shattering attack on Bitcoin immutability — a civil war brewing inside Core. We walk through both sides.🎙️ THE SHOWCanadian Bitcoiners Podcast is a weekly show covering Bitcoin, macro, freedom tech, and Canadian news with a hard-money lens.

Adam Back Satoshi Nakamoto — the New York Times investigation claims to have found Bitcoin's creator. We break down why it's clickbait. Plus: Iran accepts Bitcoin and USDT for Strait of Hormuz oil tanker tolls, Trump's World Liberty Financial meme coin disaster, and Canada's Liberal convention drops an exit tax bombshell.On this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast, Joey and Len dig into the biggest stories of the week across Bitcoin, geopolitics, and Canadian politics.BITCOIN STORIES:The New York Times published a massive investigation claiming Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto based on weak circumstantial evidence like double-spacing and the word "dang." We explain why the trail is ice cold and why real Bitcoiners stopped caring about this years ago. Peter Todd, Hal Finney, Len Sassaman — the usual suspects get mentioned, but nobody's signing a message from the Genesis block anytime soon.A Bitcoiner lost over 5 BTC to a fake Ledger app downloaded from the Apple App Store. We break down exactly what went wrong, why you should never enter your seed phrase into any internet-connected device, and why Ledger's confusing app naming made this worse. This is a brutal but necessary reminder about self-custody security.Iran is reportedly setting up a toll system for the Strait of Hormuz, charging $1 per barrel of oil — roughly $2 million per supertanker. Payments accepted in Chinese yuan, Bitcoin, and USDT. We discuss whether this is real or saber-rattling and why no confirmed Bitcoin transaction has surfaced yet.Trump's World Liberty Financial token holders are getting invited to a Mar-a-Lago dinner on April 25th — after enduring a 95% drawdown. The project borrowed $75 million in stablecoins using their native token as collateral. We compare this to Terra Luna and FTX and explain why this is a disgrace.JP Morgan is launching a Bitcoin ETF at just 0.14% fees, and BlackRock is rolling out BITAS — a Bitcoin covered call income ETF. We explain why covered call strategies bleed over time using MSTY as a cautionary tale, and why you should just be buying corn at these levels instead.YouTube continues nuking Bitcoin channels — Bitcoin.com, Bitcoin All Caps, and Bitcoin Magazine all got hit recently. We discuss the broken incentive structure, bot-driven reporting, and why building on centralized platforms is always a risk.Nunchuk released an open-source CLI for AI agents to manage multi-sig Bitcoin wallets. We discuss why trusting AI with irreversible Bitcoin transactions is a terrible idea given how unreliable these models are week to week.CANADA STORIES:The Liberal Party convention featured a former Google executive proposing exit taxes and closing TN visas for Canadians leaving the country — despite the fact that he himself used those exact programs to work abroad. We tear this apart through the lens of The Sovereign Individual and explain why the state is losing control.The Liberals also pushed a social media ban for anyone under 16. We explain why this creates a surveillance honeypot and won't stop a single kid with a VPN and some Bitcoin.Rosedale residents are now paying $200/month for private security patrols after a 30% spike in home invasions. We discuss what this means for the future of policing in Ontario and draw parallels to South Africa.Three Canadian by-elections are happening today. We preview what a Liberal majority means for the next three years under Carney.🔗 SPONSORS & LINKS🟠 Bull Bitcoin — Buy Bitcoin directly to your own wallethttps://mission.bullbitcoin.com/cbp🌐 EasyDNS — Domain registration & EasyMail security.Promo Code: CBPMedia (50% off first cart)⛏️ 256 Heat — Heat your home while mining Bitcoin256heat.com📚 BTC Mentor — Bitcoin security & inheritance planninghttps://btcmentor.io/aff/90/📢 SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes every Monday night💬 Join the conversation in the comments⚡ Boost us on your favourite podcasting 2.0 app
