The Bitcoin system turns out to be socially useful and valuable, so node operators will feel like they're making a beneficial contribution to the world through their efforts (similar to various projects where people voluntarily donate their computing power for good causes).
In this case, I think simple altruism may be enough to keep the network running properly.
This is very attractive from a libertarian point of view if we can explain it correctly. Though I'm better with code than with words.

🧬 Adam Back explained that quantum computers pose no threat to Bitcoin for at least the next 20–40 years — if ever. Post-quantum signatures already exist (for example, SLH-DSA, standardized by NIST), and they can be gradually incorporated into the protocol.
According to him, Bitcoin will have plenty of time to prepare long before truly cryptographically dangerous quantum machines appear.

🇯🇵 Japan is preparing a major crypto reform: 105 tokens, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, will gain financial instrument status with mandatory disclosure requirements for exchanges about issuers and risks, while insider trading will be prohibited.
The crypto profit tax is planned to be drastically reduced from 55% to 20%, matching stock trading rates — changes may be adopted in 2026.

🇲🇻 Donald Trump's The Trump Organization, in partnership with Saudi developer Dar Global, is launching the world's first tokenized hotel project, Trump International Hotel Maldives, where investors can purchase digital shares as tokens and earn returns during the construction phase.
The resort will feature 80 beach and overwater villas with full luxury Trump-branded infrastructure, scheduled to open in late 2028.

🇸🇻 Bitcoin has dropped below $90 000 — and El Salvador’s government took advantage of the correction by purchasing another 1090 BTC ($100M), in addition to its routine daily buys of 1 BTC.

🧬 Ethereum Foundation introduced the concept of the Ethereum Interoperability Layer (EIL) — a unified compatibility layer designed to bring all Layer-2 networks into one cohesive ecosystem.
With EIL, users will be able to move assets and perform actions across different L2s directly from their wallet, without relying on bridges or third-party relayers.
In practice, this is a move toward making all Layer-2 networks function as if they’re components of a single, consolidated Ethereum blockchain.

👻 Vitalik Buterin warned at the Devconnect conference that quantum computers could break modern cryptography before the 2028 U.S. presidential election. He urged the Ethereum community to transition to quantum-resistant security methods within the next four years.
Buterin also emphasized that future innovations should be moved to Layer 2 solutions, as well as to wallets and privacy tools, rather than adding more complexity to Ethereum’s core protocol.

🇺🇸 The U.S. banking regulator has announced that banks are now allowed to hold cryptocurrency specifically for paying network fees on blockchains.
This isn’t about investments — it’s a technical necessity that enables banks to process transactions in digital networks.
It marks the first step toward allowing traditional financial institutions to integrate with crypto infrastructure on an everyday, practical level.
