📊 BTQ Technologies launched the Bitcoin Quantum testnet — the first Bitcoin fork resistant to quantum computing threats. The deployment took place on January 12, marking the anniversary of the first BTC transaction.
➡️ In the project, ECDSA has been replaced with ML-DSA (FIPS 204), a post-quantum algorithm approved by NIST. Block size has been increased to 64 MB, and a block explorer and mining pool have been launched.
🅱️ BTQ estimates that approximately 6.26 million BTC are potentially vulnerable to quantum threats, including Satoshi Nakamoto's wallets, due to exposed public keys. Delphi Digital referred to Bitcoin Quantum as a "quantum canary" — a testing ground for protective solutions.
📊 The relevance of this topic is confirmed by regulators and institutional players: the U.S. requires a transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2030–2035, and BlackRock and VanEck already factor in quantum risks.
🔺 The network is open to the community. BTQ plans to accumulate up to 100,000 fork tokens in the first year through its own mining pool.

🚀 VanEck: Bitcoin could rise to $2.9 million by 2050
📊 VanEck analysts call this the base scenario if BTC:
🔴 becomes a currency for international settlements; 🔴 is included in central bank reserves.
📊 Basis for the forecast:
🔴 Bitcoin's share in global finance — 1.66%; 🔴 2.5% of central bank reserves in BTC; 🔴 average annual price growth — 15%.
🔍 Alternative scenarios:
🔴 bearish — $130,000; 🔴 bullish — $52.4 million.
🅱️ Bitcoin is viewed not as a speculative asset, but as a hedge against debt crises and fiat currency devaluation. The key risk is network scalability, with solutions lying in Layer 2.
