Can have a debate about it.” Schiff replied later: “Absolutely. Several people have…

The wallet, identified as 18eY9o, transferred 150 BTC (roughly $16.6 million) after years of dormancy. These coins were originally mined in 2009 and consolidated into the wallet in 2011.

Trezor just unveiled Safe 7 and set a Nov. 23, 2025 ship date with the company is marketing the device as “quantum-ready.”However, the label refers to the wallet’s ability to verify future firmware and device attestation using post-quantum cryptography once those paths are available, not to on-chain protections for Bitcoin or Ethereum today.According to Trezor’s own explainer on quantum readiness, post-quantum upgrades for public networks do not exist yet, so Safe 7’s design goal is to accept, verify, and run those updates when they arrive, and to prove device authenticity across that transition.The move extends the device chain of trust,…
