Australian economist Steve Keen has argued that Bitcoin's reliance on massive energy consumption for security is an unsustainable model, The Crypto Basic reported. He explained that Bitcoin's fundamental structure is not viable long-term, especially as global pressure mounts to reduce energy use. Keen suggested that as governments address climate and resource challenges, high-energy systems like Bitcoin could face increasing regulatory scrutiny. Beyond environmental concerns, Keen highlighted that geopolitical uncertainty amplifies Bitcoin's vulnerability. He pointed to potential global crises, such as the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, which could disrupt energy supplies. In such scenarios, governments would likely prioritize allocating energy to essential sectors like food production and heating, potentially restricting or deprioritizing energy-intensive networks like Bitcoin, he noted. Keen is credited with having predicted the 2008 global financial crisis.

Demand from addresses that have been accumulating Bitcoin is rising rapidly, on-chain analyst Rei Researcher noted in a CryptoQuant post. The analyst explained that while this demand from accumulating addresses is surging, the spot price has yet to recover to its peak levels. This creates a constructive divergence, suggesting that long-term investors are aggressively absorbing the supply coming onto the market. From a market structure perspective, this movement is interpreted as a sign of improving underlying fundamentals rather than an immediate upward breakout. The reliability of a bullish price signal would increase significantly if the 30-day moving average of this demand metric continues to rise. However, an actual trend reversal depends on whether the price can break through and hold its peak range, the analyst added.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is incapacitated and in a coma following serious injuries, according to a report from the British newspaper The Times citing a diplomatic memo.

The primary challenge in addressing the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin lies in social consensus rather than technical issues, stated Zach Pandl, head of research at digital asset manager Grayscale, CoinDesk reported. Pandl noted that Bitcoin has a lower risk profile compared to other cryptocurrencies because it uses a UTXO model and a Proof-of-Work (PoW) system, lacks native smart contracts, and has certain address types that are not vulnerable to quantum attacks. The main problem, he argued, is for the community to reach a consensus on the path forward. He pointed to the recent debate within the Bitcoin community over how to handle approximately 1.7 million BTC tied to early Pay-to-Public-Key (P2PK) addresses, including an estimated one million BTC believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. While no confirmed security threats to public blockchains from quantum computers have been identified, Pandl explained that now is the time to prepare for a transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
