Silicon Valley angel investor Liron Shapira posted on X this morning, stating: "I assert (with 50% confidence): due to AI shaking the security and stability guarantees that people once believed Bitcoin had, the price of BTC will plummet more than 50% within the next two years."Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rebutted this, saying: "I hold the completely opposite view. My fundamental reason is that, in the long run, I am quite optimistic about network security, and I believe the main challenge is how to smoothly transition through the transition period. Moreover, I believe BTC can at least properly handle all issues that do not require social consensus to resolve (for example, upgrading clients, mining pools, etc., to deal with network layer attacks fall into this category). Additionally, I believe the probability of hash algorithms or proof-of-work mechanisms being truly compromised is extremely low. I wanted to make a bet with you, but considering my current asset allocation (I guess you have the same view on Ethereum ETH), I have already staked about 90% of my wealth on this bet."

Vitalik recently updated EIP-8141 "Frame Transaction" proposal, with core improvements including atomic batch execution of up to 64 operations, social recovery (similar to Google account recovery, without the need for a mnemonic phrase), P256 quantum-resistant signatures, and the ability for anyone to pay gas fees for users, significantly enhancing the usability of Ethereum wallets.It is reported that the improvement proposal was co-authored by Vitalik, lightclient, and 10 other experts, and is planned to be included in the 2027 Hegotá upgrade, marking a significant native implementation of Ethereum account abstraction.

According to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin mortgage product jointly launched by Better Mortgage and Coinbase has been fully launched last week. Borrowers can pledge Bitcoin at a 250% collateral rate to pay for the down payment on a home. For example, to purchase a $500,000 property, one would need to pledge $250,000 in Bitcoin to support a $100,000 down payment. Since the full launch, the pre-application loan scale has reached $360 million, higher than the previous estimated $260 million from the waiting list users.At closing, borrowers will receive two loans: one is a conventional mortgage secured by the property that meets Fannie Mae standards, and the other is a down payment loan secured by pledged Bitcoin and a subordinate lien on the property. Better disclosed that it may re-pledge the Bitcoin pledged by borrowers, as long as an equivalent amount of assets is retained for return. Borrowers cannot retrieve their crypto assets early and must wait until the conventional mortgage is fully repaid or refinanced to recover them, meaning Bitcoin may be locked for up to 15 to 30 years.Unlike typical crypto loans, a drop in Bitcoin prices will not trigger a margin call or automatic liquidation; liquidation of pledged assets may only occur 60 days after the borrower defaults. Coinbase only acts as a custodian and technology provider and does not participate in credit decisions. Currently, the product only supports Bitcoin collateral; both parties mentioned USDC when announced in March but ultimately chose to launch with BTC first.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the Poseidon hash function series, developed over many years, has generated significant practical value in Ethereum and other fields, and will continue to play a role in the coming years.Modern privacy protocols can quickly generate SNARK proofs on the client side, and Poseidon is one of the important reasons for this. Vitalik pointed out that today's general-purpose STARK has achieved extremely high performance, with the proof overhead for almost any batch computation reduced to three-digit levels, and it is expected to further drop to two-digit levels or even lower in the future, a development that has even exceeded expectations from the early 2020s.
