The wallet held 5.25 BTC that were worth a few hundred dollars at the time and have grown to a six‑

The next wave of tech hype is less about new apps on your phone and more about the pipes underneath them, with experts pointing to advances in quantum computing, space‑based internet and AI that can understand the real world in a forward‑looking brief on four trends that will shape 2026. Scientists are working on more stable kinds of quantum bits that can hold fragile information for longer, a step toward machines that could crack problems today’s computers would need centuries to solve.
