I used to work at @bubblemaps. Here's the contract they never disclosed. @JoinProxima builds tools to help bundlers stay undetected by Bubblemaps. Since April 2025, Proxima has also been paying Bubblemaps $45,000 a month for advice on "automated clustering parameters" and "block-level bundle processing visibility". Receipts 🧵👇

Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash. Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase). Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets. IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster). Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot. Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time? Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.) Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once. Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case. I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026). Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS. Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security. The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.

I know this kinda sarcastic but fellas PLEASE don’t do this to Don’t let your ego affect your life, if you have to downgrade do it, especially in hard times… Sell the cars, sell the watches, move to a smaller place, move in with your parents, I don’t care what you have to do If you have any capital left: KEEP IT because the bear market sucks but it gives the most exponential opportunities Don’t waste your chance to make it back or significantly position yourself for the next leg just because you don’t want your so called “friends” to think you fell off If you did fall, own up to it. If you didn’t, great, but real friends won’t care if you play defensive for a bit Than in the long term when you do well you can “flex” twice as hard. Stay alive, keep playing the game, don’t let other peoples opinions affect your moves 🤝

I’m plotting on your rise bro. I’m literally up in the lab scheming on beautiful abundance for you. I’m cooking up ways for a rising tide to lift all our boats. I’m praying for your gains. I’m lighting a candle to your inevitable splendour dude.

this is probably what happened and that explains why @wintermute_t did a sudden extreme 700m+ lump sum deposits into binance its not to 'dump' on people but to protect their precious bags which is probably now fully liquidated rumors are saying wintermute and cryptodotcom blew up even the biggest of players are donezo oh god..
