Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is being treated as a destination. It isn’t. Most PQC assumes the same failure model as legacy crypto: keys, secrecy, and single-point authorization — just with bigger math. That works until it doesn’t. Quantum doesn’t just threaten algorithms. It threatens the assumption that secrets can remain secret at all. When public keys are exposed, archived, replayed, or coerced, the system fails — regardless of whether the curve is classical or post-quantum. Quantum Pr...

Crypto was built on a beautiful assumption: if the math holds, the money holds. For a while, that felt true. But the last decade has proven something more uncomfortable: Most losses don’t happen because cryptography “fails.” They happen because authorization fails. Phishing. Malware. Fake apps. Browser extensions. Cloud backups. SIM swaps. Social engineering. Seed phrase exposure. Clipboard hijacking. Even simple human fatigue. The story is always the same: one key, one seed, one signature—th...
