ZURICH—Quantum guns already sighted on Bitcoin’s ECDSA walls. BTQ slips a canary into the shaft: parallel chain, post-quantum powder, live-fire migration drills. Hear the fuses hiss beneath the ledger’s marble floor. Tick. Tick.
ZURICH, 10 DECEMBER — Dawn cracks over the Limmat and the cold light reveals a second set of rails being laid beside the Bitcoin line. BTQ engineers work by lantern, bolting ML-DSA plates onto each carriage while boson-sampling turbines thrum in the sidings. Delphi scouts confirm the manoeuvre: a full-scale rehearsal to shuffle UTXO troops across a quantum-safe bridge before Shor’s artillery opens fire. Custodians march wallets in lock-step, timing the fee bursts, marking latency craters. The old chain’s iron chords still ring, but every echo carries a new tremor—harvest now, decrypt later. If the canary stops singing, the main vault becomes a tomb.
