What is quantum-safe Bitcoin?

It's a hash-based transaction scheme that resists quantum attacks without changing Bitcoin's rules, but requires heavy off-chain computation costing $75-$200 per tx.

Can I use quantum-safe Bitcoin right now?

Technically yes—generate via GPUs, send to willing miners. No wallet support yet, though; it's DIY for now.

Will quantum computers break Bitcoin soon?

Not tomorrow—mature threat computers are years off, but exposed public keys are vulnerable long-term.

Does quantum-safe Bitcoin need a soft fork?

Nope, works on legacy rules today.
