New Bitcoin Quantum Proposal Gives Satoshi A Silent Ownership Path
Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson has proposed a new mechanism that could let long-dormant Bitcoin holders, including Satoshi Nakamoto, preserve a future claim to their coins if Bitcoin ever has to restrict spending from quantum-vulnerable addresses. The proposal, called Provable Address-Control Timestamps, or PACTs, is designed to let holders prove they controlled an address before cryptographically […]

Bitcoin’s quantum risk may show up in derivatives markets well before any compromised coins move on-chain, according to FalconX co-head of markets Joshua Lim, who used an X thread on April 16 to map out what he sees as the most tradable signals around a potential “q-day” event. Lim’s core argument is that the market problem is not simply whether Bitcoin can migrate to post-quantum cryptography. It is also whether the network can politically resolve what to do with Satoshi Nakamoto’s coins and other old outputs that may never participate in such a migration.
