Has Bitcoin Been Quantum Resistant This Whole Time?

Starkware just dropped a white paper that makes Bitcoin transactions quantum-resistant today — no soft fork, no protocol changes — but it'll cost you $150 per transaction in GPU compute. Meanwhile, the New York Times thinks they've finally figured out who Satoshi is.
