The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian Spin

Canada's $195B Alberta pension fund (AIMCo) just made its first-ever Bitcoin allocation — buying $219 million of Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) the same week Ottawa announced a nationwide ban on Bitcoin ATMs. We break down the AIMCofiling, the Stephen Harper board angle, the political collision course with Carney's federal Liberals, and what this means for every Canadian Bitcoiner.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:
The full AIMCo $219M MSTR disclosure and what's actually in the filing
Why this is the FIRST Canadian provincial Bitcoin allocation on record
Stephen Harper's role as AIMCo board chair and what changed at the fund
The Ottawa Bitcoin ATM ban announcement and the timing irony
Carney's Spring Economic Update (page 58: airport privatization buried inside)
Saylor / Strategy / MSTR market structure update (BlackRock surpassed)
Litecoin MWEB exploit, Bisq v1 exploit, Tether's BTC faucet, Luxor + MicroBT

The Bitcoin thesis isn't theoretical anymore. A sovereign-scale Canadian pension manager just placed a public bet that says the smart money is out of fiat duration risk and into the hardest asset on earth.Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast————————————————————————————————SPONSORS■ easyDNS — Canadian-owned, ICANN-accredited registrar that has accepted Bitcoin since 2013.

The "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin" just collapsed. Project Eleven paid 1 BTC for a 15-bit ECC break — but a classical computer does the same thing. Bitcoin's 256-bit security is untouched.A researcher won the Project Eleven Q-Day Prize for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer, billed by the press as the "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin to date." Within 48 hours half the crypto press had it framed as Q-Day. The reality: a $300 laptop can break a 15-bit ECC key in well under a second. Bitcoin uses 256-bit ECC. The gap between 15 bits and 256 bits is roughly 2^241 — a number larger than the atoms in the observable universe. Q-Day is real as a research milestone. Q-Day is FUD as a Bitcoin threat headline today.On this episode we break down what Project Eleven actually proved, why the "1 BTC bounty" isn't what crypto media made it sound like, why Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography is nowhere close to being broken, and what's REALLY worth paying attention to this week — from the Litecoin MWEB 13-block reorg to the Bitcoin Core v30 wallet migration drama, the Bitcoin Knots vs. Core fork update, Shakepay's new BTC-backed loans, SEC Chair Atkins' "innovation" pivot, Kraken's 56 million IRS tax forms, and a $1.1 BILLION Canada Child Benefit story most Canadians missed this week. Plus, of course, Mark Carney's new wealth fund. What a time to be alive.

BIP 361: Bitcoin Core devs want to FREEZE Satoshi's coins — 5.6M BTC (~30%) permanently locked to stop quantum computing attacks. Is it theft or survival? The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast debates.This week Len and Joey break down the most controversial Bitcoin proposal in years: BIP 361, the post-quantum migration plan championed by Hunter Beast that would render an estimated 5.6 million Bitcoin — including Satoshi Nakamoto's untouched stash — unspendable after a hard cutoff date.Supporters call it the only realistic defense against Shor's algorithm and a future quantum adversary capable of cracking legacy P2PKH keys. Critics call it a precedent-shattering attack on Bitcoin immutability — a civil war brewing inside Core. We walk through both sides.🎙️ THE SHOWCanadian Bitcoiners Podcast is a weekly show covering Bitcoin, macro, freedom tech, and Canadian news with a hard-money lens.
