Charles Hoskinson warns that quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin, proposing three options. The most extreme, BIP-361, may still lose 1.7 million BTC, including 1.1 million belonging to Satoshi. Market impact analysis suggests short-term volatility but limited immediate risk.
Charles Hoskinson outlines three quantum scenarios for Bitcoin on the Rollup podcast. He warns that BIP-361 may still leave 1.7M BTC vulnerable, including Satoshi's 1.1M coins, triggering market concerns.
Project Eleven warns Q-Day, when quantum computers break Bitcoin's ECDSA, could hit by 2030. Roughly 6.9 million BTC may be at risk, rekindling debates on migration to quantum-resistant signatures like BIP-361.
Project Eleven says quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin’s public-key cryptography as early as 2030, with around 6.9 million BTC potentially exposed under certain conditions. The warning is intensifying debate over quantum-resistant Bitcoin upgrades.
Project Eleven says quantum computing could reach a “Q-Day” as early as 2030, when public-key cryptography may become vulnerable. Under certain conditions, around 6.9 million BTC could be exposed, intensifying debate over Bitcoin’s post-quantum migration.
Project Eleven says quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin as early as 2030, with about 6.9 million BTC potentially exposed under certain conditions. The warning is intensifying debate over Bitcoin’s post-quantum migration and protocol upgrades.
Project Eleven warns that quantum computers could break Bitcoin's encryption by 2030, potentially exposing 6.9 million BTC. The analysis highlights rapid progress in quantum attacks, fueling debate over migration to quantum-resistant signatures.
Quantum computers cannot break Bitcoin today, but the industry increasingly sees a 5-10 year risk window. The main vulnerability is transaction signatures, not mining, making BIP-360 and BIP-361 key proposals to watch.
