Blockstream Co-founder: Quantum computing will enhance Bitcoin signatures, making its network stronger

Blockstream co-founder and CEO, inventor of Hashcash, and renowned cryptographer Adam Back stated that quantum computing could potentially make the Bitcoin network stronger. Industry insiders have previously expressed concerns that due to advancements in quantum physics, quantum computing can execute computational processes at unprecedented speeds, which may disrupt encryption algorithms in the future.

Back posted on X stating: "Post-quantum (PQ) will take at least several decades," which is why hash-based PQ schemes are never feasible: "PQ signature research will eventually produce conservative, thoroughly reviewed, more compact signatures. Bitcoin can consider these schemes as another option."

Crude oil is "coming back", but refined oil is "not coming back"; the global refining gap is widening.

According to Goldman Sachs, global refined oil exports have declined by about 6 million barrels per day year-on-year, with the Gulf region and Russia contributing three-quarters of the decrease. Unlike crude oil, which can be rerouted, damaged refineries cannot be relocated, and the Gulf region's refined oil exports have only recovered to 40% of pre-war levels. Goldman Sachs expects global refinery utilization rates to recover only by the second half of 2027; based on this, it has more than doubled its forecast for diesel profit margins in 2027.
