A Special  Report is now available that can save you from financial ruin –- and even help you get filthy rich AS the impact of 30 trillion dollars in cyber currencies are stolen and devastates the investment community. Bitcoins Forbidden Secrets reveals the hidden story behind  the Chinese, Russia, N. Korean Quantum Computer super secret hacking group known as:

Lazarus 

More about that after I tell you why Bitcoin is in serious jeopardy of being ripped off – and soon!

So what exactly is Q-Day? It’s when powerful new quantum computers finally break Bitcoin’s encryption code and rip off every last cent. It’s been all over the financial news, and analysts around the world are scared to death.  Bitcoins will be stolen before you even know it. Worst of all, there may be nothing anybody can do to stop it.

Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Good News For Science, Medicine& Technology…

But An Absolute Disaster For Bitcoin

A few weeks ago, Google introduced a new quantum supercomputer called Willow, I call it the BEAST, that changes everything. Unlike ordinary classical computers, Willow runs on the principles of quantum mechanics.  Instead of bits, it uses qubits which allows it to make trillions of calculations in nanoseconds.

In a mind-blowing feat, Willow’s 105-qubit chip completed a calculation that would’ve taken our fastest supercomputer a mind-boggling 10 septillion years (that’s 10 followed by 24 zeros) a mere 5 minutes.

Major tech companies and governments are all in the race to build AI Quantum computers, such as Musk’s xAI, IBM’s HERON, and Microsoft’s AZURE are leading the investments in quantum computing. Hostile state actors like China. N.Korea and Russia have quantum AI computers. Pictured below is the China (They are spending 15 times the money as the US) quantum computer the ZuchongzhiZ

Most of the world is cheering because Quantum Computers will supposedly revolutionize the development of new medicine,  optimize energy grids, automotive design and materials, aerospace, and almost everything else you can think of. BUT AND ITS A BIG BUT:

 Quantum Computers Have Bitcoin Analysts Freaking Out

Because they can break previous encryption codes that classical computers couldn’t. Even scarier, it has already started. 

A bank of quantum computers in China and Russia as we speak working  with the hacking group 

Lazarus 

in a proof of concept test hack just stole 1.5 billion dollars in BitCoin. Soon they will break the cryptocurrency encryption, allowing them to steal at least $3.8 trillion in Bitcoin. And destabilize the global financial system

Expert Crypto analysts and respected publications are all terrified about Q-Day.

Wall Street Journal

“Bitcoin is a time bomb ready to explode.”

Forbes

“Quantum computers come for Bitcoin.”

Fortune

Reported on Kent Carlos Perez-Delgado, a researcher at the University of Kent:

“If I had a large quantum computer right now, I would essentially take over All the Bitcoin.

Alliance Bernstein:

“Bitcoin contributors should start preparing for the quantum future.”

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of the prominent cryptocurrency Ethereum, admitted that advancing quantum computing tech has “consequences across the entire Ethereum road map.”

I hope I’ve now convinced you that the threat to

Bitcoin is real and it’ll be here any day. Maybe even today or tomorrow.

5 minutes to steal all the worlds bitcoin

“Q-Day might come in 2025, Tilo Kunz Executive Vice President of the Canadian cybersecurity firm Quantum Defense.”

The bottom line: It’s not a matter of if Bitcoin is hacked, but when.

Still Skeptical? Well, Did You Know That Bitcoin Was Hacked Before? Many times for Billions

• Since 2011, Bitcoin has been ripped-off to the tune of a staggering $138,202,386,000
• Etherium losses to hackers: $1,175,082
• TOTAL LOSSES: $142,315,183,000 at current Bitcoin prices

Quantium Computer Hack Already Started:

Q-Day’s First Quantum Computer Test Heist

Still, that’s chump-change compared to what will be $3 Trillion stolen by quantum computers this year.

And the ripple effect would send the world into an economic crisis that would make the Great Depression pale in comparison.

So why hack Bitcoin? To quote bank robber, Willie Sutton, “because that’s where the money is.” All $3.8 trillion worth of Bitcoin –- including yours.

Stealing Bitcoin Is A Piece of Cake

So why is stealing Bitcoin so easy? As experts say, the new quantum computers make it a snap because they can run so many calculations so fast. While classical computers use binary 0s and 1s, quantum computers use Qubits that can be in two states — 0 and 1 — at the same time.

Weird Science , isn’t it? But it accounts for quantum computers’ amazing power. As such, analysts now realize that SHA-256 encryption, which serves as THE ONLY security measure protecting Bitcoin, is no match for quantum computers.

On top of that, consider that there’s:

√ No reserve.

√ No government guarantee.

√ No central computer or authority.

√ Most people have no insurance.

√ And nobody has seen the source code and nobody    knows who even invented Bitcoin.

It’s Started

Q-Day’s First Quantum Computer Test Heist

Now you know why everyone is panicking and BitCoin is crashing as we speak. Losing 30% so far in a matter of days. See this mornings chat below

Bitcoin’s Quantum Weakness

Bitcoin is considered ultra-secure against classical computers, but particularly vulnerable to quantum computers. That’s because every time a transaction is made, a public key is available to everyone and a private key, visible only to the spenders, are generated.

This key combination is then digitally ‘written’ onto a ledger of monetary transactions (copy below) within the system – aka a blockchain.

But there’s a catch, a large gaping hole for hackers. The Bitcoin transaction is not fully secure until it has been integrated into the blockchain. There’s a vulnerability window that can be manipulated, not by regular computers but by quantum computers that once they had access, they would simply divert the funds to a different address.

And poof, just like that, your money’s gone. Easy peasy.

So Why Doesn’t Bitcoin Just Push Out A New Encryption Update?

As Fortune points out, Bitcoin’s decentralized nature could make pushing an encryption update an immense task. By the time they push out an update your money will be long gone.

Iran on ‘high alert’ amid fears of attack on nuclear sites Officials say measures are in response to growing concerns of potential joint military action by Israel and US

Amid growing concerns over a potential attack, Iran has significantly reinforced security around its nuclear facilities, deploying additional air defence systems to key sites. The move comes in response to heightened tensions with Israel and the United States. Iran has long been fortifying its nuclear and missile facilities, but recent Israeli military actions and US intelligence warnings have accelerated its defensive measures. The security enhancements follow reports that Israel, with US backing, may be planning a joint strike against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Iranian defence forces are on high alert, particularly at undisclosed locations. A source stated, “They are just waiting for the attack and are anticipating it every night.” Iran’s increased military preparedness follows Israel’s recent airstrikes on the Parchin military complex near Tehran, which destroyed the “Taleghan 2” facility—allegedly involved in nuclear weapons research, according to a US-based Axios report. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been vocal about Israel’s stance on Iran, stating, “Over the last 16 months, Israel has dealt a mighty blow to Iran’s terror axis. Under the strong leadership of President Trump and with your unflinching support, I have no doubt that we can and will finish the job.” Since returning to office, US President Donald Trump has reinstated his “maximum pressure” policy of economic sanctions against Iran, mirroring his earlier term’s aggressive stance. The US had previously withdrawn from the 2015 nuclear deal, citing concerns over Iran’s alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons—a claim Tehran has repeatedly denied. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed the possibility on February 15, saying, “No problem will be solved by negotiating with America.” Despite its defensive upgrades, Iran’s security infrastructure remains vulnerable. Sources noted that Israel’s strikes have weakened Iran’s existing air defence network, and its Russian-supplied S-300 missile systems are insufficient to counter advanced Israeli weaponry. To strengthen its defences, Iran has sought an expedited delivery of Russian S-400 missiles and is actively developing a ballistic missile defence system. Michael Waltz, the US National Security Adviser, reaffirmed the US’s hardline stance, stating last week, “All options are on the table.” He also warned against Iran acquiring nuclear capabilities, adding, “They are an irrational actor that we cannot allow to have their finger on the button.”

nn another reality check

President Donald Trump has announced that 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico exports to the United States will go into effect on March 4, adding that he will impose an additional 10% tax on Chinese imports in what could be the beginning of trade wars between the U.S. and its biggest trading partners. Trump paused the sweeping duties on Canada and Mexico on February 3 for one month after both countries’ announced new border security measures.

Oil flows facing tariffs represent 44% of U.S. oil product imports, 69% of crude oil imports and 81% of heavy crude oil imports. The U.S. imported ~ 6.6 million barrels per day (mb/d) of crude oil in 2024, of which 4.0 mb/d was heavy oil for use in upgraded refineries with cracking units. Canada provided 75% of U.S. heavy crude oil imports in 2024, with its market share having steadily increased since 2000,

squeezing outflows from Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia.  Some 80% of Canada’s crude production flows downstream to U.S. refiners, with U.S. imports of Canadian crude reaching a record high of 4.42M bbl/day in the week ending January 3, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Canadians overwhelmingly support retaliatory tariffs, with Bloomberg reporting that 82% support export levies on oil exports if Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian oil. Whereas Canadians traditionally considered export taxes on energy to be politically divisive, the robust backing reveals the level of anger amongst the public over Trump’s actions and gives Justin Trudeau’s government greater license to respond in kind if Trump carries out his threat. The trade war looms large at a time when trade volumes between the U.S. and Canada have been surging. Canada’s energy exports to the United States surged in the latter part of 2024, helping the country record its biggest surplus with its main trading partner since 2022. Crude oil exports jumped amid a weakening Canadian dollar as well as traders stockpiling inventories ahead of Trump’s tariffs. The trade surplus widened to C$11.3 billion in December, up from C$8.2 billion previously, while crude exports to the U.S. jumped 11.8% in the final quarter. Nearly 76% of all exports by Canada went to the U.S. compared to 62% of all imports coming from the U.S. Last year, the value of Canada’s imports and exports with the U.S. surpassed the C$1 trillion mark for a third straight year.

nn reality check

Crude oil inventories in the United States saw a decrease of 2.3 million barrels during the week ending February 21, according to new data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration released on Wednesday. Crude oil prices were mixed prior to the crude data release by the U.S. Energy Information Administration after the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported on Tuesday a dip of 640,000 barrels in U.S. crude oil inventories. The Brent benchmark was trading slightly down, off 0.05% at $72.98 at 10:24 am, just minutes before release. The WTI benchmark was trading slightly up at +0.03% at $68.95. The dip in crude inventories partially offsets the 4.6 million barrel build that the EIA estimated for the week prior. For total motor gasoline, the EIA estimated that inventories increased by 400,000 barrels for the week to February 21, with production averaging 9.2 million barrels daily. This compares with an inventory slump of 200,000 barrels for the previous week and an average daily production of 9.2 million barrels daily. For middle distillates, the EIA estimated an inventory increase of 3.9 million barrels for last week, with production averaging 5.2 million barrels daily. This compares to an inventory dip of 2.1 million barrels for the week prior, when production stood at an average 4.7 million barrels daily. Distillate inventories are now 8% below the five-year average for this time of year. Total products supplied over the last four weeks decreased to an average 20.3 million barrels per day—a 4.2% increase over this time last year. Distillate products supplied over the last four weeks are up 13.1% compared to this time last year, while gasoline product supplied is off 0.1% from the same period last year.

Crude Futures Drop as Trade Uncertainty Grows

Oil slipped to a new low for the year as US President Donald Trump blitzed markets with a slew of conflicting announcements on trade. West Texas Intermediate retreated to settle further below $69 a barrel at the lowest closing price this year, following a choppy session in which thin volumes amplified swings. Trump on Wednesday made a series of apparently contradictory statements about his plans to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and the European Union. The uncertainty over Trump’s actions and the threat of multiple international trade wars have cast a pall over the outlooks for economic growth and energy demand in both the US and China, the world’s two largest consumers of crude. The US diesel market already is also showing signs of demand weakness, with futures for the fuel sinking 1.9% after government data showed inventories swelled the most since early January. “Trump actions are hurting consumer and business confidence, which again will weaken actual consumption,” said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB AB. Trump on Wednesday first said his planned tariffs on Canada and Mexico would move forward before later saying they would be implemented in early April, about a month later than previously scheduled. The president also said he’d impose 25% duties on the European Union, before shifting to talk about tariffs on automobiles and other topics. The prospect of increased flows also weighed on prices as the White House confirmed plans for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to visit the US, signaling that Russia’s crude may flow more freely in the near future if a peace deal is reached. At the same time, Iraq reached a pact with the Kurdistan region to resume oil exports.

The trade and supply news overshadowed potentially bullish developments, including:

1. Trump’s announcement that he’ll terminate oil concessions the Biden administration gave to Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro
2. Fresh sanctions against Iranian flows 
3. OPEC+ will again defer a plan to progressively raise output.

Nick Note: Its amazing to me that the  market is pricing in will only be a miniscule increase if any of Russian oil supplies to market. Sometime in the future if and when a piece deal is  enacted and sanctions are lifted.  The market is ignoring the termination of the Venezuelan oil export facility through Citgo.  The market is ignoring the fact that America is increasing sanctions on Iranian oil exports. And with Israel is about to go to war with Iran. and 3.8 million barrels of oil per day will be  blasted into eternity.  And the market is ignoring the fact that OPEC is really unhappy about oil sub $70 a barrel West Texas immediate and they’re going to do something about it.

 

 

US President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to announce he will be reversing oil concessions granted to Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro’s government during the previous administration citing failure to return “criminals” from the US.”We are hereby reversing the concessions that Crooked Joe Biden gave to Nicolas Maduro, of Venezuela, on the oil transaction agreement, dated November 26, 2022, and also having to do with Electoral conditions within Venezuela, which have not been met by the Maduro regime,” Trump wrote. He added that the agreement, dated November 26, 2022, will be terminated “as of the March 1 option to renew.” Former President Joe Biden eased sanctions on oil, gas and gold from the country in an effort to get free elections.

nn even more oil supplies taken out of the market

 

Weekly Petroleum Data for the week ending February 21, 2025

U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) decreased by 2.3 million barrels from the previous week. At 430.2 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 4% below the five year average for this time of year.

U.S. crude oil refinery inputs averaged 15.7 million barrels per day during the week ending February 21, 2025, which was 317 thousand barrels per day more than the previous week’s average. Refineries operated at 86.5% of their operable capacity last week. Gasoline production
decreased last week, averaging 9.2 million barrels per day. Distillate fuel production increased last week, averaging 5.2 million barrels per day. U.S. crude oil imports averaged 5.9 million barrels per day last week, increased by 98 thousand
barrels per day from the previous week. Over the past four weeks, crude oil imports averaged about 6.2 million barrels per day, 5.5% less than the same four-week period last year. Total motor gasoline imports (including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components) last week averaged 462 thousand barrels per day, and distillate fuel imports averaged 370 thousand barrels per day. Total motor gasoline inventories increased by 0.4 million barrels from last week and are slightly below the five year average for this time of year. Finished gasoline inventories decreased, while blending components inventories increased last week. Distillate fuel inventories increased by 3.9 million barrels last week and are about 8% below the five year average for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories decreased by 3.7 million barrels from last week and are 1% belowthe five year average for this time of year. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased by

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Wednesday that no just peace between Russia and Ukraine can be achieved without security guarantees for Kiev. “We want to have a ceasefire, but if we don’t have security nothing will work,” Zelensky said at a press conference. Furthermore, the president stressed that a mineral deal with the United States, which he described as a “framework agreement,” now includes a mention of American security guarantees. However, he pointed out that he needs to better understand what kind of security guarantees the US would offer. Finally, Zelensky ensured that he would ask US President Donald Trump during his upcoming visit to the White House if Washington intends to stop military aid flows to make clear what Ukraine can count on from the US.

nn: it looks to me like a unconditional surrender 

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a report on Wednesday that Iran has increased the production of 60% enriched uranium since November. The output rose by 92.5 kg to 274.8 kg, according to the document reviewed by the Associated Press. Uranium enriched to 60% can be further enriched to 90%, with the IAEA estimating 42 kg would be enough to make one atomic bomb. The report follows new sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States under US President Donald Trump’s policy of “maximum pressure,” which he also pursued during his first administration. Trump pulled out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, in 2018, accusing Tehran of violating it.

nn: these escalations are serous and being ignored by the markets
