Threat Matrix

Every vector that threatens your Bitcoin. Know the enemy.

[QC]CRITICAL

Quantum Computing

Shor's algorithm can derive private keys from exposed public keys. ~4,000 logical qubits needed. Google officially moved Q-Day to 2029. Migrate now.

[AR]HIGH

Address Reuse

Spending from an address exposes your public key on-chain. Any reused address is permanently vulnerable to future quantum attacks.

[CR]CRITICAL

Custodial Risk

Exchanges hold your keys. Hacks, insolvency, and regulatory seizure can wipe your holdings overnight. Not your keys, not your Bitcoin.

[SE]HIGH

Seed Exposure

Digital seed phrase copies (photos, cloud, email) are catastrophic. Single-location backups are single points of failure.

[SC]MEDIUM

Supply Chain Attack

Tampered hardware wallets shipped pre-compromised. Always buy direct from manufacturers and verify firmware hashes.

[PC]MEDIUM

Physical Coercion

The $5 wrench attack. If people know you hold Bitcoin, you become a target. OpSec and plausible deniability are essential.

The Quantum Event Horizon

The point where the quantum threat timeline crosses the Bitcoin upgrade timeline. Charles Edwards (March 2026): "We are closer to that horizon than most people realize." Your address hygiene today determines your exposure when that day comes.

Defense Guide

The playbook for protecting your Bitcoin at every layer.

Cold Storage Architecture

Hot WalletDaily use only. Software wallet on phone or desktop. Less than 1% of holdings.
Warm WalletHardware wallet (Coldcard or Foundation Passport). Passphrase-protected. Air-gapped signing.
Cold Vault2-of-3 Multisig. Keys split across: Coldcard + Trezor + Metal seed backup. 3 geographic locations.
InheritanceDocumented recovery instructions (encrypted). Trusted party holds 1 key. Shamir Secret Sharing optional.

Address Auditor

Paste any Bitcoin address to instantly check its type, balance, and quantum exposure risk.

BIP 360 · Pay-to-Merkle-Root

The Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin Upgrade

BIP 360 introduces a new address type (bc1z) that commits to a Merkle tree of post-quantum spending conditions — making Bitcoin safe against Shor's algorithm.
