Crypto Leaders Respond To Quantum Computing Threats

In a post on X, Scaramucci shared a video and commented on Google’s March 2026 report, “Safeguarding cryptocurrency by disclosing quantum vulnerabilities responsibly.”

Novogratz Confident In Industry Adaptation

Crypto investor Mike Novogratz responded to Scaramucci’s question, saying that while the threat is real, the industry is prepared.

“The real case is convincing the Bitcoin core developers that there’s the path forward and we all should go on it because it’s existential for Bitcoin,” Novogratz said.

It also notes that Back’s online activity appears to overlap with the period when Nakamoto was active — and aligns with the creator’s sudden disappearance after Bitcoin’s white paper was published.

‘I’m Not Satoshi,’ Back Says

Back quickly pushed back on the claims, taking to X to deny the theory.

“I’m not Satoshi,” he wrote, adding that the conclusions were based on “confirmation bias.”

He acknowledged his early involvement in cryptography and digital cash concepts but said that…

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has declined about 29% in recent weeks, even as institutional inflows surge to their highest levels since December 2025.

Trader Notes: Analyst Javon Marks suggests XRP could reach a measured move target just below $17, implying a potential gain of more than 1,100%. The projection is based on a large pennant breakout pattern, like XRP’s 2017 rally.
