“I think the technical risk is overblown.” Will quantum computing destroy Bitcoin? Lyn Alden breaks down one of crypto's most misunderstood risks. The lines that stuck with us: "Bitcoin relies on cryptographic security that could theoretically be broken by powerful quantum machines." "The timeline for quantum breakthroughs is still... show more

Is quantum computing a threat to Bitcoin? I did some research on this topic and here's my conclusion: Quantum computing will EVENTUALLY break Bitcoin's security, but not any time soon By the time it's a serious threat, Bitcoin will be upgraded

During this week's Bitcoin Policy Hour, Matthew Pines laid out a timeline for Quantum computing's possible threat to Bitcoin: 🟥10% chance of fault-tolerant quantum by 2028 🟨30-50% chance by 2030-2032 🟩Best case: 10+ years out But the quantum threat to Bitcoin isn't just technical, it's about consensus on what to do with possibly exposed coins, including Satoshi's. Both Matthew Pines and Zack Shapiro agree that removing the taboo around discussing quantum-resistant upgrades must be done NOW, before we're forced into emergency decisions. Watch the full episode:

BITCOIN RAILS #34: Bitcoin’s Security & Quantum Risks—and the Future of Satoshi’s Coins | with Jameson Lopp Jameson Lopp “Most people don’t think about security until it’s too late,” says the Casa co-founder and CSO. One of the most prolific thought-leaders in Bitcoin security and privacy, there are few people who understand the nuances of Bitcoin security quite as deeply - not to mention the OPSEC practices required to protect against wrench attacks, for instance, which are rising globally as Bitcoin price increases. More recently, Lopp has turned his attention to mitigating Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerabilities, including market risks associated with quantum-vulnerable Satoshi’s Coins + longer-term strategies for quantum-hardening of Bitcoin addresses long term. In this special episode of Bitcoin Rails, we cover: - Lopp’s experiences designing self-custody products at both BitGo and Casa - The swatting attack he suffered in 2017, and the radical steps he’s taken to secure his home location since - The ‘quantum computing’ challenge for Bitcoin and its impacts on Satoshi’s Coins - How the network may respond to QCs in the face of ossification and why QC preparation may be the hardest governance test the network has ever faced This episode is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳), the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing - Spark (Lightspark), a statechains implementation leading the path towards institutional adoption of Bitcoin-powered payments - Citrea (Citrea), the leading Bitcoin Rollup technology and contributor to the BitVM alliance 📌 Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Quantum Computing Meets Bitcoin 00:19 – Jameson Lopp on the Bitcoin Rails 00:53 – The Quantum Threat to Bitcoin Security 06:32 – Lopp’s Path into Bitcoin & Security 12:58 – The Swatting Attack During the Block Size Wars 25:28 – Could Quantum Crack Satoshi’s Coins? 43:55 – Announcements & Sponsors Messages 45:30 – Building Bitcoin’s Quantum Resistance 47:00 – QBTC and the Push for Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin 48:43 – Why Changing Bitcoin Is So Hard 51:19 – Email Protocols, Ossification, and Bitcoin’s Future 01:01:53 – A Roadmap for Quantum Resistance

🚨 Bitcoin Holders, This Changes EVERYTHING! This was a really Deep conversation with Preston Pysh Quantum computing is advancing FAST – could it break Bitcoin? Microsoft’s Majorana One breakthrough might be the biggest threat yet. Preston Pysh joins us to break it all down + why Bitcoin Bonds could reshape finance forever. We dove into: - Why Bitcoin’s Future is at Risk – The biggest challenge no one is talking about. - The Fed vs. Bitcoin – How the financial system is shifting before our eyes. - The Big Print is Already Happening – Why fiat is doomed and Bitcoin is the exit. - DOGE (Dept. of Gov. Efficiency) – Will government spending finally be reined in? - How to Protect Your Bitcoin – Steps to stay ahead of quantum risks and economic chaos. Out Friday 5:05am AEST on YT 🤝 Gday Bitcoin Thanks for the huge signal and the many laughs Preston, this was so insightful and epic fun.

LYN ALDEN: Bitcoin is trading like a risk on asset, but has risk off properties. The longer term use case for BTC is that it’s the main protocol for digital money. It’s got the network effect and the security, but it takes time to grow and get large.

Quantum isn’t a distant risk for crypto anymore. 📢 According to Quip Network co-founder Colton Dillion (Colton Dillion), there’s already a 10% chance #Bitcoin-level cryptography could be broken by 2028. And upgrading crypto isn’t a switch — it could take years. → Post-quantum security needs to start now → Quantum networks could solve real-world problems (logistics, finance, materials) → “Build the worldwide quantum computer” “If you believe the risk, you should be acting today.” Watch the full interview 👇

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #18: MAKE BITCOIN QUANTUM RESISTANT | with BIP360 author Hunter Beast Hunter Beast 🕯️ Quantum computing is a complicated topic—one that incites equal amounts of fear and skepticism depending on who you talk to… especially in Bitcoin. In this episode, BIP360 author Hunter Beast wisely shares why the “truth is likely somewhere in the middle,” citing incremental advancements in quantum computing that may eventually pose a legitimate threat to some Bitcoin addresses—as well as steps we can take to protect ourselves in the short, medium and long term. The correct posture is to “be prepared, not scared,” says Hunter Beast 🕯️ Ultimately, the introduction of quantum resistant cryptography—via proposals like BIP360—will be needed for higher degrees of security. That said, individuals can mitigate personal risk substantially through proper address-use hygiene. This episode breaks down the specific challenges Bitcoin will face in the event of a quantum attack, the likelihood of an attack over time, and the steps we’ll need to take at the individual and communal level to ensure Bitcoin’s safety. This episode includes detailed discussion of: 1) How quantum computing could potentially affect Bitcoin public/private key cryptography—and technologies built on vulnerable addresses (e.g. Taproot) 2) Best practices for protecting yourself against quantum in the short and long term 3) Implications of vulnerable address types—e.g. what about Satoshi’s coins? 4) Deep Dive into BIP360 + proposed long-term solutions 5) Industry roadmaps for quantum computing + how banks and governments are preparing for “Q Day” As always, this episode can be viewed on Spotify or YouTuve—full episode in the comments or linktree in my bio. This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing.
