More about that after I tell you why your 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. Your 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 bit, it uses qubits which allows it to make trillions of calculations in nanoseconds.

Quantum computer

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 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

China quantum computer

Most of the world is cheering because it will revolutionize the development of new medicine, optimize energy grids, automotive design and materials, aerospace, and almost everything else you can think of.

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 are working to break the cryptocurrency encryption, allowing thieves to steal at least $3.8 trillion in Bitcoin.

Just so you don’t think I’m an alarmist, exaggerating or lost my mind completely…expert financial analysts and respected publications are all terrified about Q-Day.

5 minutes to steal all your bitcoin

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?

  • 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: $142,315,183,000 at current Bitcoin prices

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.

Important Points to Consider

Still, that’s chump-change compared to what will be stolen by quantum computers. 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, isn’t it? But it accounts for quantum computers’ amazing power.

As such, analysts now realize that SHA-256 encryption, which serves as a security measure protecting Bitcoin for miners, 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.

Now you know why everyone is panicing.

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.

This One Simple Move Can Protect You From the Bitcoin Disaster

THE COMING BITCOIN Q-DAY CRASH

In this timely and comprehensive report, you’ll get news and analysis you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll get all of Bitcoins “forbidden secrets” and believe me, it will blow you away.

Most of all, you’ll find out how to:

  1. Protect your Bitcoin so it won’t get stolen
  2. Hedge your Bitcoin so you don’t lose your money when it crashes
  3. Take your money out of the quantum computer hackers’ reach once and for all
  4. Make millions from the coming collapse even as others get wiped out

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR BITCOIN INVESTMENT AND GET FILTHY RICH IN THE PROCESS.

Gaza ceasefire deal reached, report says

An agreement involving the exchange of hostages and a ceasefire between Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip has been reached, Axios reporter Barak Ravid announced on Wednesday, citing a US official. The agreement outlines an initial six-week period of ceasefire, during which Israeli troops will begin a phased retreat to the edges of the enclave. This process also involves the liberation of hostages currently held by Hamas in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel. It is claimed that Israel plans to free 30 Palestinian detainees in exchange for each civilian hostage and 50 per female soldier. The deal also mandates that 600 truckloads of humanitarian aid must be transported into Gaza on every day that the ceasefire is in effect. Earlier, the group’s leader Khalil Al Hayya delivered approval of the ceasefire agreement to mediators in Doha. The deal would halt a 15-month war that started on October 7, 2023, and killed over 46,700 Gazans.

Oil Rises as Crude Inventories Continue to Draw

 

Crude oil prices moved higher today, after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported an inventory dip of 2 million barrels for the second week of the year. The change estimated by the EIA compared with a modest draw of around 1 million barrels for the previous week, which also saw sizable builds in fuel inventories that dragged oil prices lower. For the week to January 10, the EIA estimated an inventory build of 5.9 million in gasoline, with production averaging 9.3 million barrels daily. This compared with a build of as much as 6.3 million barrels for the previous week, when production averaged 8.9 million barrels daily. That build was the second sizable weekly one, after 2024 ended with a build of 7.7 million barrels in gasoline inventories. In middle distillates, the EIA estimated an inventory increase of 3.1 million barrels for the week to January 10, with production at an average 5.2 million barrels daily. The numbers compared with a build of 6.1 million barrels for the first week of the month and the year, when production averaged 5.2 million barrels. Even with the recent series of builds in fuels, however, both gasoline and middle distillate stocks remained below the five-year average for this time of the year, the EIA noted in consecutive weekly reports. Oil prices, meanwhile, took a dip earlier in the week after the EIA released the latest edition of its Short-Term Energy Outlook saying global supply would exceed demand both this year and next.

Based on that forecast, the EIA projected the average 2025 price for Brent crude at $74 per barrel, with West Texas Intermediate seen at an average $70 per barrel in 2025.

For its forecast, the EIA assumed that OPEC+ would roll back its production cuts and that non-OPEC production would continue leaping forward. The market, meanwhile, seems more preoccupied with the effect of the latest U.S. sanctions on Russia, which could curb global oil supply by close to 1 million barrels daily. Apparently, traders don’t currently share the EIA’s expectations of excess supply.

EIA Weekly Petroleum Report

Summary of Weekly Petroleum Data for the week ending January 10, 2025

U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) decreased by 2.0 million barrels from the previous week. At 412.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 6% below the five year average for this time of year. U.S. crude oil refinery inputs averaged 16.6 million barrels per day during the week ending January 10, 2025, which was 255 thousand barrels per day less than the previous week’s average. Refineries operated at 91.7% of their operable capacity last week. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.3 million barrels per day. Distillate fuel production decreased last week, averaging 5.2 million barrels per day. U.S. crude oil imports averaged 6.1 million barrels per day last week, decreased by 304 thousand barrels per day from the previous week. Over the past four weeks, crude oil imports averaged about 6.5 million barrels per day, 3.3% less than the same four-week period last year. Total motor gasoline imports (including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components) last
week averaged 450 thousand barrels per day, and distillate fuel imports averaged 219 thousand barrels per day. Total motor gasoline inventories increased by 5.9 million barrels from last week and are slightly below the five year
average for this time of year. Finished gasoline inventories and blending components inventories increased last week.

Total products supplied over the last four-week period averaged 20.2 million barrels a day, up by 1.1% from the same period last year. Over the past four weeks, motor gasoline product supplied averaged 8.5 million barrels a day, up by 0.8% from the same period last year. Distillate fuel
product supplied averaged 3.6 million barrels a day over the past four weeks, up by 5.8% from the same period last year. Jet fuel product supplied was up 6.4% compared with the same four week period last year

Final draft of Gaza truce deal presented to sides after ‘breakthrough’, official says

  • After midnight ‘breakthrough’ officials say deal closer than ever
  • Biden says sides on the “brink” of a deal
  • Trump envoy Witkoff attends talks, official says
  • Trump inauguration seen in region as de facto deadline
DOHA/CAIRO, Jan 13 (Reuters) – Mediators gave Israel and Hamas a final draft of a deal on Monday to end the war in Gaza, an official briefed on the negotiations said, after a midnight “breakthrough” in talks attended by envoys of both outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump. Biden said a ceasefire and hostage release deal he had championed was on “the brink” of coming to fruition and Hamas said it was keen on reaching an agreement. “The deal … would free the hostages, halt the fighting, provide security to Israel and allow us to significantly surge humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians who suffered terribly in this war that Hamas started,” Biden said in a speech to highlight his foreign policy achievements. The official briefed on the talks, who did not want to be otherwise identified, said the text for a ceasefire and release of hostages was presented by Qatar to both sides at talks in Doha, which included the chiefs of Israel’s Mossad and Shin Bet spy agencies and Qatar’s prime minister. Another round of talks is planned in Doha on Tuesday morning to finalise remaining details, with Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Biden’s envoy Brett McGurk expected to attend, as they had on Monday, the official said. An Israeli official said negotiations were in advanced stages for the release of up to 33 hostages as part of the deal. The Hamas delegation in Doha issued a statement after a meeting with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani saying talks were progressing well.
 Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told reporters the negotiations were at a “pivotal” point, with gaps between two sides slowly getting removed. “I think there is a good chance we can close this … the parties are right on the cusp of being able to close this deal,” he said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the sides were “closer than we’ve ever been” to a deal, and the ball was in Hamas’ court. “We are very hopeful that we get it over the finish line, finally after all this time,” he told MSNBC, adding that the proposed deal was based on a framework Biden put out in May. Blinken said negotiators wanted to make sure Trump would continue to back the deal on the table so Witkoff’s participation has been “critical.” Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and his Religious Zionism party, a hardline nationalist party which has opposed previous attempts at a deal, said all its members would oppose a deal that didn’t achieve Hamas’ “destruction” and the latest proposal endangered Israel’s national security.

Hegseth: I support Israel destroying Hamas

Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary nominee, declared on Tuesday his support for Israel in “destroying” and “killing” every last member of Hamas. Addressing disruptions during his Senate confirmation hearing, where protesters accused him of being a Zionist, the defense secretary nominee stressed his support for Israel’s “existential defense” and Washington’s commitment to safeguarding it. “We will responsibly end wars to ensure that we prioritize our resources to reorient to larger threats,” Hegseth underlined while outlining his agenda if confirmed as defense secretary. NN: Finally the US military will be commanded by a man with a hairy set of balls. BYE by fagots and woke jokes

Israel, Hamas agree in principle to truce deal draft

A preliminary agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza, along with the release of hostages, has been tentatively reached. Should everything proceed smoothly, Israel and Hamas are expected to finalize the arrangement this week, according to statements from Arab, US and Israeli officials shared with CBS News. US and regional insiders indicate that if the remaining specifics receive approval and the Israeli government endorses it soon after, the deal’s execution could commence by this weekend, the media added. Previously, the Wall Street Journal noted that the involved parties were ironing out the last aspects of a ceasefire accord for Gaza, potentially ready for announcement as early as today.

Oil Prices Stable After Bearish EIA Report

Crude oil prices remained stable today after dipping on Tuesday following the release of the Energy Information Administration’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook.

In the outlook, the EIA predicted weaker oil prices this year and next, citing expectations that OPEC will roll back its production cuts and non-OPEC oil producers will continue raising their output at intensive rates.

As a result, Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate dipped on Tuesday, only to rebound later, with Brent crude returning above $80 per barrel and WTI inching closer to $79 per barrel. At the time of writing, Brent was trading at $80.17 per barrel, with WTI at $77.88 per barrel. In its Short-Term Energy Outlook, the EIA said it expected global oil production to add 1.8 million barrels daily this year and another 1.5 million barrels daily in 2026. In the United States, the EIA expects only a modest increase in oil production, from 13.2 million bpd last year to 13.5 million bpd, inching further up even more slowly in 2026, to 13.6 million barrels daily. The Permian will continued to be the driver of U.S. oil production growth, coming to account for more than half of the national total next year. In other plays, however, production is set to begin declining, the EIA said Consumption, however, is set to underwhelm, according to the EIA, with growth this year seen at 1.3 million barrels daily, or 200,000 bpd lower than projected production growth. This rate of growth will slow down further next year, the EIA predicted, to just 1.1 million bpd, led by Asia and specifically India. Not everyone is this gloomy on oil, however. For starters, the EIA itself noted that its forecast was compiled before the federal government slapped the latest sanctions on the Russian oil industry. These sanctions are widely seen as potentially curbing Russian oil exports, and as a result boosting prices by eliminating any surplus supply 0n the global market.

Netanyahu: Gaza deal matter of days or hours

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Tuesday that the ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza is a matter of “days or hours” as reported by Channel 12. The prime minister further explained that Israel is currently waiting for Hamas to respond to the agreement draft, adding that his condition for a permanent ceasefire is the safe return of all hostages. At the same time, Netanyahu stressed that the agreement will have several stages. He revealed that negotiations regarding the second stage will begin on January 16.

Russia Intent On Defying New U.S. Sanctions on Its Oil Industry

  • The outgoing U.S. Administration on Friday slapped the most severe sanctions on Russia’s oil yet.
  • Russia: new U.S. sanctions risk destabilising global markets.
  • The sanctions have already started moving oil markets and the oil-purchasing strategies in Russia’s top crude oil customers, China and India.

Russia has slammed the new hefty U.S. sanctions on its oil industry and exports and vowed to move forward with major domestic oil and gas projects, claiming that it remains “a key and reliable player in the global fuel market.” The outgoing U.S. Administration on Friday slapped the most severe sanctions on Russia’s oil yet, designating two major Russian oil companies, Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, as well as 183 vessels, dozens of oil traders, oilfield service providers, insurance companies, and energy officials. The sanctions on the oil companies are the first direct designations against Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, which were sanctioned by the UK on the same day, too, as “the profits from these 2 companies are lining Putin’s war chest and facilitating the war,” as the UK government said. The latest sanctions are also cutting off Russia’s access to U.S. services related to the extraction and production of crude oil and other petroleum products. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen commented that “With today’s actions, we are ratcheting up the sanctions risk associated with Russia’s oil trade, including shipping and financial facilitation in support of Russia’s oil exports.” In response to the sanctions, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said that the U.S. move “represents an attempt to inflict damage on the Russian economy at any cost, even at the risk of destabilising global markets. This move comes in the waning days of President Joe Biden’s lacklustre tenure in office.” “Naturally, Washington’s hostile actions will not go unanswered and will be taken into account as we shape our foreign economic strategy,” Russia said, adding that “Major domestic projects for oil and gas extraction, import substitution, oilfield services, and the construction of nuclear power plants in third countries will continue to move forward.” The Russian Foreign Ministry’s statement concluded with “Despite the convulsions in the White House and the manoeuvres of the Russophobic lobby in the West, seeking to drag the global energy sector into the US-initiated hybrid war against Russia, our country remains, and will continue to be, a key and reliable player in the global fuel market.” The sanctions have already started moving oil markets and the oil-purchasing strategies in Russia’s top crude oil customers, China and India. Oil prices jumped on Friday as the U.S. sanctions were announced, and Brent Crude broke above $80 per barrel to hit the highest level in three months. Indian refiners expect their supply of cheaper Russian crude to be severely crippled with the latest sanctions, refining sources in India told Reuters on Friday. India is now bracing for a major disruption to Russian oil supply, which is currently the single largest source of crude for the world’s third-largest oil importer. Alongside India, China could also lose a part of its cheap Russian crude supply, analysts say. “When it comes to buyers, China and India, in general, tend to steer clear of dealing directly with tankers and entities blacklisted by the US Treasury,” Matt Wright, lead freight analyst at Kpler, wrote in a note. The newly sanctioned tankers handled about 42% of Russia’s total seaborne crude exports. Over half of this volume was shipped to China, making up about 61% of China’s seaborne imports of Russian oil. Meanwhile, most of the remaining exports went to India, contributing to nearly a third of the South Asian nation’s total intake of Russian oil, according to Kpler’s analysis. Moreover, the new sanctions are expected to drive up Russian crude price differentials in China and India in the short term, potentially reaching parity with non-sanctioned grades of similar quality, Kpler’s Wright said. India and China have started to procure more crude from sources other than Russia and Iran, in view of the tightening U.S. sanctions on Russia and an expected clampdown on Iran’s oil exports from the incoming Trump Administration. The latest U.S.-sanctioned tankers are estimated to have transported nearly 900,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Russian crude oil to China in the past year, a Singapore-based trader told Reuters, adding that this supply is “going to drop off a cliff.”
