An attacker would have to put Bitcoin up as collateral before reaching a vulnerable wallet, and prepared owners could claim it plus a penalty. $BTC

First, the idea comes from Bitcoin developer Cory Fields and targets wallets that would be exposed to quantum attacks later.

Second, the defense is not only new cryptography: the attacker's posted Bitcoin is what prepared owners could recover, along with a potentially costly penalty.

Third, the aim is to make a quantum attack a losing bet rather than a blocked one, but this is a proposal and no adoption is confirmed.

If you hold coins in wallets that may be vulnerable later, the practical question is whether you would be prepared before an attacker acts, since the recovery path depends on owners being ready.

Takeaway: the collateral, not the quantum math, is the part that changes the attacker's cost.
