True, quantum computing is a risk — but not just for Bitcoin. It’s a threat to all modern cryptography. The good news? Devs are already working on quantum-resistant algorithms. Bitcoin can adapt. The real question is: will governments and banks move that fast?
It is not a practical risk, only a theoretical risk. It may not manifest for decades to come, nobody really knows right now.
This is a funny thread. If it can break bitcoins encryption, it will have already long taken control of all the nukes on the planet, all the biolabs, everyone's bank accounts, etc.
In other words, we won't even notice.
The same fearmongering about quantum computers comes up, and the same arguments are provided to rebuke them. The cycle keeps repeating endlessly. I'm sure that if Bitcoin moved to quantum resistant addresses tomorrow, they would find another reason to spread FUD.
