AI agents are said to have sharply lowered the estimated difficulty of a quantum attack on Bitcoin. Major crypto assets are jittery before an inflation print.
Editor’s take
Quantum risk has been treated as a story about the distant future, but when the assumed difficulty moves, the meaning of holding a key moves with it. Whether a coin's signature scheme can be swapped is a design question that outranks any price chart. This is a story about time horizons, not about today's dip.

PRESSAl JazeeraSpain moves closer to citizenship for Western Saharans ↗
11 Sept, 21:09 JST
Spain's parliament has backed citizenship for Sahrawis, a step taken amid tense relations with Morocco after the Ceuta crossing events. It is a shift on belonging, not a finished law.
Editor’s take
Cracking open a window that has been painted shut for years. Citizenship decides where a person may safely live and belong, and extending it from historical responsibility rather than bloodline alone is a move toward human dignity. The danger is that tension with a neighbor trims the criteria and turns a right into a bargaining chip. Fair procedure is the substance here, not the ceremony of the vote.
