Quantum computing is not currently an existential threat to Bitcoin, but as capital becomes more institutional and long-term, even distant risks require clearer answers.

Что нужно знать:

  • The majority of Bitcoin developers argue that quantum computing does not pose an immediate threat to the network, with machines capable of breaking its cryptography unlikely to exist for decades.
  • Critics express concern over the lack of preparation for quantum threats, as governments and companies begin adopting quantum-resistant systems.
  • The Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP)-360 aims to introduce quantum-resistant address formats, allowing users to gradually transition to more secure cryptographic standards.
