Brent oil may end bounce around $100.50

Brent crude faces a potential reversal lower as technical resistance around $100.50 could end its recent rebound and restore the broader downtrend. Resistance at $99.67 and $100.50 could cap gains, while support remains near $93.96 and the broader downtrend from $118.13 remains intact. A rejection near $100.50 could pressure Brent toward lower levels, although a breakout could open a move toward $102.22-$103.40.

Bitcoin developer proposes ‘landmines’ to make quantum thieves lose their own BTC

A Bitcoin Core developer has proposed “quantum landmines” that would force potential quantum thieves to risk their own BTC as collateral before attempting to steal vulnerable coins. Cory Fields’ thought experiments include locking the attacker’s collateral alongside targeted bitcoin for a waiting period, allowing legitimate owners to reveal hidden proof and reclaim their holdings plus the penalty. The proposal could discourage future quantum attacks, but implementation remains uncertain and would require quantum-safe wallets, unwritten enforcement rules and additional collateral from honest holders.
