#BTC #QUANTUM BTC's quantum-resistant proposal BIP360 has finally entered the Draft stage, marking a new milestone in @cryptoquick's ongoing efforts. Simultaneously, a BIP proposal regarding address migration has been assigned the number #361. I'm very happy to see progress in quantum resistance on BTC; it at least shows that Core values this technology, rather than adopting an attitude of "this is fake," "no need to worry for now," or "indifference." Of course, the Draft stage is only the beginning; much work remains to be done, especially in building community consensus and choosing activation mechanisms, all of which require continuous progress. Two points to consider: 1. BIP3 has replaced BIP2 as the official BIP proposal process. In BIP3, the complete process is: Draft → Complete → Deployed 2. Many people always say that the quantum threat has a greater impact on traditional finance, but they are unaware that traditional finance began implementing countermeasures long before this, such as: --38% of HTTPS traffic on Cloudflare already uses post-quantum encryption. (PQC) radar.cloudflare.com/adoption-...… --Chrome has supported Kyber since 2023 --Banks are developing their own upgrade roadmaps bis.org/publ/bppdf/bispap158.h...… On the contrary, due to its decentralized nature, BTC is one of the most difficult targets to upgrade, and at the same time, one of the most profitable. I still maintain that the quantum-resistant upgrade of traditional finance is largely a "government policy issue," while the quantum-resistant upgrade of BTC is a "community consensus issue." Government policies can likely be implemented as long as the rule-makers have a clear understanding, while consensus requires long-term, repeated accumulation, and can only be quickly formed when facing real danger.
