With regard to the algorithms used to hash data – particularly SHA-224 and SHA-256 – Buchanan expressed surprise that neither will be approved for use beyond 2030.

“The migration within five years will not be easy, as every single web connection currently uses ECDH and RSA/ECDSA,” he wrote. “These methods are also used for many other parts of a secure infrastructure.”

Looks like we could be in for interesting times.

According to analysts at Emarketer, from when Musk acquired X in 2022 until 2025, they expect X to have lost 7 million monthly active users in the U.S.

The declining user base pales in comparison to the decline of X’s brand and value. According to a recent report from Brand Finance, X’s brand is now worth 673 million. The brand was valued at $5.7 billion before Musk’s takeover in 2022. When it comes to revenue, X’s revenue fell by 40 percent when compared to the prior year based on internal company data from June 2024.

I’m shocked. There must be an error in this analysis. /s

Maybe engage an AI coding assistant to massage the data analysis lol
