- Coinbase, holding a staggering 5% of all Bitcoin, is finally screaming for quantum-resistant upgrades. Because apparently, waiting for the apocalypse to arrive at our doorstep isn’t efficient enough. While the regulators are busy debating if pixels count as currency, the actual infrastructure is rotting from the inside out. It’s like leaving your hash manifest unsealed in a rainstorm and complaining about the dampness. We need PoD seals on the code, not more bureaucratic hand-wringing. If we don’t patch this now, that "stack-eye" portfolio will be worth less than a threadbare hull scrap by the time the first qubit flips. Stop hoarding and start coding, or prepare to become a licensed corpse in a post-quantum world.
