Why now
  • A new quantum attack record shows accelerating threat capability.
  • Hardware to run such attacks is becoming more accessible via the cloud.
  • The window to secure Bitcoin before practical quantum attacks narrows rapidly.
Why it matters
  • Quantum computing could break Bitcoin's cryptography, risking billions in assets.
  • Bitcoin's lack of formal governance complicates urgent cryptographic upgrades.
  • Financial institutions recognize the quantum threat, increasing pressure for action.
