Thoughts about $BTC and Quantum?



Quantum computing is a real threat to Bitcoin but not tomorrow.

• Current quantum machines: nowhere near strong enough
• Threat window: most likely 2030–2035 (some say sooner, many say later)
• What’s vulnerable: ~25–30 % of BTC (mostly old addresses & reused keys)
• SHA-256 hashing: weakened but still safe for decades
• Fix: post-quantum signatures (Dilithium-style) via soft fork
• Timeline: devs already drafting BIPs, 3–5 years to roll out safely

Bottom line: Bitcoin has time and a plan.
Avoid address reuse today, keep calm, and watch the upgrades roll in.
