Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: It is unrealistic to expect rapid results from Iran-U.S. negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baghaei stated that it is unrealistic to expect Iran and the United States to reach a rapid agreement in negotiations. Baghaei said that in the 47 years since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Iran has accumulated deep distrust and suspicion of the United States’ actions.

He emphasized that one should not expect negotiations to reach a result in a short period of time, “After all, this is an extremely bloody war.” He pointed out that the United States and Israel are “extremely brutal,” and the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon over the past two and a half years have proven this.

Baghaei said: “In this case, no matter who the mediator is, it is unrealistic to expect an agreement to be reached in a short period of time.”

Nic Carter: “Quantum canaries” cannot provide sufficient early warning; Bitcoin must immediately begin preparing for quantum resistance migration.

On May 1st, Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter posted a long article on the X platform, pointing out that the quantum computing “canary warning” mechanism cannot provide enough buffer time for BTC. Classical computers can now crack elliptic curve discrete logarithm problems (ECDLP) of about 117 to 130 bits, while the results of quantum computing below this threshold are often questioned for “classical cheating” or preset answers, so it cannot form an effective signal.

Nic Carter believes that once quantum computers truly break through this classical limit, it may only be a few months away from directly attacking the 256-bit secp256k1 curve used by Bitcoin, while the quantum signature migration after Bitcoin is completed will take several years.
