A quantum computer could steal $74 billion in Satoshi's Bitcoin — and the only proposed fix might be worse than the problem.

In this episode of Good For Bitcoin, Brandon and Kate discuss:

BlackRock's IBIT sees over $700M in inflows this week — and Strategy adds 13,927 BTC, now holding over 780,000 BTC and back in profit above $77K
Goldman Sachs enters the Bitcoin ETF game with a premium income ETF — using an options-based strategy to generate yield on BTC exposure
World Liberty Financial (Trump's DeFi project) minted tokens, used them as collateral to borrow $75M, and drained 55% of Dolomite's liquidity pool — drawing comparisons to FTX. Justin Sun publicly called it a "personal ATM for insiders"
New Presidio Bitcoin report: 6.5 million BTC would be immediately vulnerable if a cryptographically relevant quantum computer existed today — with 4.5M of that exposure reducible right now just by rotating to fresh addresses
BIP 361 (co-authored by Jameson Lopp) proposes freezing quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin, including Satoshi's coins — a three-phase approach that would eventually render all legacy UTXOs unspendable
Adam Back pushes back, arguing an optional quantum-safe upgrade is the right path — and the philosophical debate over "your keys, your coins" vs. protecting the network heats up
Pakistan's Central Bank reverses its crypto ban, now allowing banks to open accounts for licensed Bitcoin and crypto service providers
Bitcoin passes block 945,000 — we're now halfway to the next halving, and the 4-year cycle is tracking almost exactly to historical patterns
Charles Schwab launches direct BTC and ETH trading at just 75bps — competing head-on with Robinhood and Coinbase
Tether releases a self-custody wallet with Bitcoin, Lightning, USDT, and USAT support — plus human-readable tether.me addresses
Tim Draper predicts $250K Bitcoin within 18 months. OG Satoshi-era whale exits after 15 years, selling 3,500 BTC (~$260M) all at once
