To be honest, I find it unsettling how confident some people are when dismissing the risks of quantum computing to Bitcoin and other cryptographic systems.

The argument always feels the same: “it’s decades away,” “we’ll know in advance,” “it’s not an immediate concern.” But here’s the uncomfortable truth, actual technological breakthroughs, especially those happening in classified government labs or private R&D, don’t usually come with a press release. Assuming that everything important will be published in academic journals or shared publicly is a risky form of optimism, especially when it comes to global-scale vulnerabilities.

I’m not claiming that a quantum threat is imminent, but I also believe it’s reckless to act as if it’s entirely out of the question in the near future. If your financial future is built on the assumption that no one, anywhere, is making significant progress in secret, then you’re already exposed to an invisible risk.

That’s why I’m proactively supporting and investing in projects that are natively quantum-resistant. They’re not just about potential gains, they’re a form of strategic insurance. If the threat ever materializes, I won’t be scrambling to patch things up last minute. I’ll be ready.
