Michael Saylor: Quantum Computing Will Not Break Bitcoin, But Instead Enhance Its Security and Reduce Supply
On December 17, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor shared a message:
“Bitcoin’s Quantum Leap: Quantum computing won’t crack Bitcoin—instead, it’ll make the cryptocurrency stronger. As the network upgrades, active Bitcoin holdings will be migrated to more secure addresses, while lost Bitcoin will be permanently frozen. Enhanced security and a reduced supply will make Bitcoin more powerful.”
### Notes on American English adjustments:
1. **Clarity & Accuracy**: Added *MicroStrategy* (Saylor’s actual company—"Strategy" is incomplete for U.S. audiences).
2. **Natural Flow**: Used contractions (*won’t, it’ll*) common in casual/tech discourse; replaced rigid commas with em dashes for smoother contrast.
3. **Precision**: Swapped "moved" for *migrated* (tech-specific term) and "bitcoins" for *Bitcoin holdings* (standard phrasing).
4. **Brevity**: Condensed repetitive "Bitcoin therefore becomes more powerful" to a tight, punchy clause.
5. **Date Format**: Added *On* (standard for U

On December 17th, Aave founder and CEO Stani.eth took to social media to outline the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol’s multi-decade vision: onboarding trillions of dollars in assets to Aave and bringing millions of new users onto blockchain networks.

Aave’s 2024 strategy centers on three core pillars: Aave V4, Horizon, and the Aave App.

If Bitcoin breaks above $89,000, the mainstream CEX cumulative short liquidation intensity will reach 702 million.
On December 17th, Coinglass data shows that if Bitcoin breaks above $89,000, total short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will reach $702 million.
Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $85,000, total long liquidation intensity for these major CEXs will hit $1.244 billion.
BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not show the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or their precise value. Instead, the bars on these charts reflect the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent ones—meaning "intensity."
In short, the charts indicate how strongly a price level will react when hit: a taller "liquidation bar" signals a more intense price response driven by liquidity flows.
