Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said quantum computing could become a major test of Bitcoin’s ability to govern and coordinate change. He warned that if the Bitcoin network cannot organize the upgrades it needs, BTC could lose its position as the world’s largest crypto asset. Hoskinson described Bitcoin as being "frozen in time," saying that meaningful changes to the network are extremely difficult to make. He also said early frustration with Bitcoin’s lack of flexibility was one of the factors that led to Ethereum’s creation. The remarks frame quantum computing not just as a technical issue, but as a challenge tied to Bitcoin’s capacity to reach consensus on necessary upgrades.
