Bitcoin developers just proposed freezing early BTC wallets forever... Bitcoin developers led by Jameson Lopp have published BIP-361, a post-quantum migration proposal. It requires holders to move their coins to quantum-resistant addresses or face permanent freezing by the network. The plan would phase out legacy ECDSA and Schnorr signatures over several years, rendering them invalid if quantum computing threats materialize. Developers argue the move is a necessary defensive measure to protect the network before sufficiently powerful quantum computers arrive.show more

🚨BREAKING: GOOGLE WARNS 6.9M BITCOIN WILL BE VULNERABLE WHEN... QUANTUM COMPUTERS BECOME POWERFUL ENOUGH A new Google Quantum AI whitepaper has identified approximately 6.9 million Bitcoin $BTC vulnerable to future quantum at-rest attacks. Around 1.7 million BTC sits in old Pay-to-Public-Key scripts, with public keys permanently exposed on the blockchain. This includes coins widely believed to belong to Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. No quantum computer powerful enough to exploit this exists today. But the paper warns that when one does, these dormant assets require no transaction to be broadcast — a future attacker could simply derive the private key silently from public data. The research team revealed that a superconducting quantum computer could derive a Bitcoin private key in approximately 9 minutes — just inside Bitcoin's average 10-minute block time. Google warns the coins represent a "fixed, multibillion-dollar target" if protocol changes are not made in time. The paper proposes governments consider legal frameworks for "digital salvage," treating dormant quantum-vulnerable coins similarly to unclaimed sunken treasure, to prevent them falling to rogue states or criminal actors first.show more

🚨 CRYPTO: CARDANO RANKED SECOND MOST QUANTUM-READY BLOCKCHAIN IN... GOOGLE RESEARCH ASSESSMENT Cardano Community ( $ADA ) has been ranked the second most quantum-ready blockchain, according to analysis tied to Google Quantum AI's latest research, placing it ahead of Bitcoin and XRP Ledger in post-quantum preparedness. The ranking highlights Cardano's Nightstream initiative, a lattice-based cryptography project announced by founder Charles Hoskinson at Consensus Hong Kong in February 2026, developed with researchers linked to Google and Microsoft. Nightstream is designed to be fast, scalable, and efficient on AI chips, targeting quantum resistance well before the projected 2030s deadline for large-scale quantum computing threats. The assessment comes as Google's paper revealed a 20x reduction in resources needed to break the elliptic curve cryptography protecting most blockchains, with Ethereum actively running post-quantum testnets and Bitcoin having no coordinated migration plan. Quantum-resistant tokens surged in the 24 hours following the paper's release.show more

🚨 BITCOIN: ELON MUSK ON GOOGLE QUANTUM THREAT: "IF... YOU FORGOT THE PASSWORD TO YOUR WALLET, IT WILL BE ACCESSIBLE IN THE FUTURE" Elon Musk responded to the escalating Google quantum computing debate with his characteristic humor after Max the VC summarized Google's position as: "We've cut the quantum resources needed to break Bitcoin's encryption by 20x. We can now break it. We can prove it. We're just not going to tell you how." Max was quote-tweeting Nic Carter's original thread on Google moving its post-quantum cryptography deadline to 2029. Musk quipped "On the plus side, if you forgot the password to your wallet, it will be accessible in the future" alongside a Grok response estimating the earliest plausible date for cracking ECC-256 (used by Bitcoin and Ethereum) at late 2028-2029 under aggressive scenarios, with conservative consensus pointing to early-to-mid 2030s. An estimated 6.9M BTC (~32% of supply) sits in wallets with exposed public keys. Ethereum has an active post-quantum roadmap. Bitcoin has no coordinated migration plan.show more

🚨JUST IN: GOOGLE SETS 2029 DEADLINE AS QUANTUM THREAT... LOOMS OVER BITCOIN Google has set a 2029 deadline for post-quantum cryptography migration, warning quantum risks are approaching faster than expected. The company says current encryption standards could eventually be broken. For Bitcoin $BTC, this raises long-term concerns around wallet security and private keys. While no immediate threat exists, “Q-Day” could expose vulnerable addresses.show more

Most people look at Quip through the lens of... post-quantum security. I think the more interesting story is happening somewhere else. Instead of asking users to learn quantum computing, Quip Network is quietly embedding quantum technology into products people can already use. Quantum randomness powers NFTs. Node operators contribute compute through simple tooling. BTC holders get access to quantum-resistant protection. Builders are already creating wallets and explorers on top of the network. Each product introduces a different piece of the quantum stack, but the user never has to understand the underlying science. That is a much harder problem to solve than building the technology itself. The real opportunity for Quip may not be making quantum computing more powerful. It may be making quantum computing invisible. Nucleusshow more

SATOSHI NAKAMOTO BITCOIN COULD BE CRACKED BY QUANTUM COMPUTERS... AND PARADIGM HAS A FIX Paradigm proposes PACTs to stop quantum computers from cracking old Bitcoin $BTC wallets. Dan Robinson of Paradigm published the proposal for a system that lets holders of old Bitcoin wallets prove ownership without moving their coins first. The plan lets Bitcoin holders privately timestamp cryptographic proofs of key ownership today. Later, they can use quantum-resistant STARK proofs to unlock their coins if the network freezes vulnerable addresses. The proposal is designed to protect dormant wallets, including Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings. Owners would not need to move funds publicly in the meantime. The proposal is a direct counterpoint to BIP-361. Developer Jameson Lopp put that proposal forward in mid-April. It would freeze quantum-vulnerable addresses on a five-year deadline.show more
