Michael Saylor: Bitcoin Should Only Upgrade Its Network in Consensus on Quantum Computing Threat

2025.12.19 21:00:06

On December 19th, Michael Saylor stated in an interview: “Bitcoin Core v30 is extremely conservative about protocol changes. We’ve always been — and must always remain — extremely cautious when modifying the Bitcoin protocol. Any adjustments should be approached with great care; we need to ensure global consensus. I believe we should only upgrade the network if there’s agreement across the world’s 8 billion people, and only once quantum computing is confirmed to pose a threat.” “But if half the community supports an idea and the other half opposes it, we should slow down. These changes demand extreme caution. I’ve said it many times: one of the most effective ways to disrupt the Bitcoin network is to give a team of exceptionally talented developers unlimited funding, then tell them to ‘improve it.’” “In my view, Bitcoin’s core is a monetary protocol. Its lack of rapid change and frequent iteration isn’t a flaw — it’s a strength. I’m not part of the group eager to constantly add new features to Bitcoin. Assuming a good thing will fail if it’s not endlessly enhanced with new features is exactly how you ruin it.”

ByteDance's Coze ranked first in the public cloud market for intelligent agent development platforms last year, but its enterprise edition is now entering the countdown to shutdown.

Beating AI Express News: ByteDance’s AI Agent platform Coze announced it will phase out its current enterprise version. Starting November 30, new customer purchases of Coze’s standard and flagship enterprise editions will no longer be accepted. Old packages on Volcano Engine will be discontinued on December 31 this year, while new enterprise packages will be fully phased out on December 31, 2027. Existing enterprise customers can still renew subscriptions and add seats, but their service term cannot exceed the aforementioned date. An IDC report shows that in 2025, Coze ranked first in China’s public cloud agent development platform market with a 19.3% revenue share. However, the annual software revenue of this niche market is only around 250 million yuan, with Coze’s corresponding scale roughly estimated at about 48 million yuan. There were prior signs of this exit: in August, ByteDance integrated Coze and the TRAE team into its Doubao system, and later launched the office Agent “Doubao Work”. The AI programming, agent development, and office execution capabilities originally scattered across different products have begun to be centralized under Doubao.
