I have compiled some notes about these recent announcements here, as it pertains to ECC and Bitcoin.

Note: There are specific address types that are safer to use for long-term storage than others, such as Native SegWit addresses starting with `bc1q`. The newest Taproot type starting with `bc1p` is insecure because it directly encodes a "tweaked" public key into the addresses.
