Maaan, i stopped paying attention to bitcoin after Bitcoin Cash fork fiasco. Everything flew back into my consciousness. eth DAOHACK fail. Website, listing all possible BTC private keys. (de)Dusting. Printing signed transactions offline into QR codes on thermal paper... Good old days.
I am not sure BTC is still worth the hassle, most of hashrate is inside of USA (70+% =>51%...). most of BTC holdings is in USA... btc saga will end soon and badly in my opinion. BTC Cash made me pessimistic.
In Europe they have SEPA Instant Credit Transfer which allows people inter bank transfers in under 15 seconds. All KYC, all legal, all gov approved, gov regulated, all without fees to btc exchange / VISA. BTC does not even makes sense anymore. Technological innovations flew right past the BTC.
i am not even sure BTC infrastructure is quantum safe, blockchain "is", but i doubt rest of infrastructure is...
