A pair of researchers have released the results of a formal verification of Bitcoin's lightning network.
The paper – released last month by researchers Aggelos Kiayias and Orfeas Litos from The University of Edinburgh. Kiayias is also the chief scientist for blockchain firm IOHK – brought a dose of good news on the underlying security of the nascent payment network.
The paper describes the lack of formal verification for lightning's code specification "a dire state of affairs" since lightning is used to secure real money — at least $8.5 million.

CoinShares is responding to UK regulators over a potential ban of various crypto products.
The London-based digital asset management firm, which provides financial products and services for professional investors, says that UK regulator are "cherry picking" information about cryptocurrencies to cobble together enough ammunition to stop the sale of certain investment products that reference crypto assets.
According to CoinShares, "The FCA claims investing in crypto-assets is too dangerous, but they don't even understand how the sector works!"

Everipedia co-founder Sam Kazemian expressed his opinions on Libra.
"I think it's an interesting initiative, but it's disappointing that they are trying to create their own (consortium/semi-centralized) cryptocurrency rather than embracing fully decentralized, open standards like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EOS, etc. They'd have much better chances of success if they incorporated open-source crypto rather than trying to capture the market themselves," he said.

In a recent Youtube video, the prominent commodities trader said that Bitcoin has a 50% chance of succeeding and a 50% chance of failing — no in-betweens. He defines success as a rally to $50,000-$100,000 — meaning that Bitcoin would be valued at around $1 trillion to $2 trillion; and failure as a move for BTC to become “basically worthless”, which he claims is a sub-$1,000 price point.
“$100,000 or $0 -- which one?” he put forward the question via his Twitter handle.

The huge gap in developer activity between Ethereum and EOS interprets the fact that developers are abandoning the platform, according to a report by CoinDesk. There appears to be so much centralization on the network with a few individuals controlling everything that key contributors are seeking greener pastures elsewhere.
According to the post, developers would rather move to alternatives, e.g., Ethereum, that are like EOS but better in several aspects.

Livera, who hosts a “must-watch” Bitcoin podcast, believes that most fiat financial methods, like bonds, are sitting in a bubble. The podcaster believes a financial system built on top of Bitcoin could be an answer to the current failures.
Livera claims that the bonds market is suffering from “fool’s theory” – where, to put it simply, people think they can buy something and then sell it to someone else for a higher price, and so on. This practice, in the bond market, pushes bonds more into negative yield territory. As this keeps happening, a fallout will eventually occur, otherwise known as a bubble bursting.

The Financial Times reports that they saw a Google publication on a NASA website this week before being removed claiming that the company’s quantum processor can perform a calculation “in three minutes and 20 seconds that would take today’s most advanced classical computer, known as Summit, approximately 10,000 years”—a demonstration of quantum supremacy.
This quantum architecture purportedly could allow quantum computers to solve a set of problems that classical computers can’t in a reasonable amount of time—this includes problems in cryptography as well as modeling molecules.
It’s possible scientists may not even accept Google’s announcement as valid. Most importantly, if it takes 10,000 years for a supercomputer to check the answer a quantum computer produced, how do you know that the quantum computer got the answer right in the first place?
