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

Quantum computers pose two threats to Bitcoin: Threat 1: A quantum computer will be built and used to break Bitcoin's cryptography. Threat 2: Even before a QC is built, delaying the preparations to ensure Bitcoin is quantum ready will lead to people losing confidence in Bitcoin. The solution to both threats: ensure Bitcoin becomes quantum resistant via initiatives like BIP 360 + make sure the world knows this will be taken care of in time.

The quantum threat to Bitcoin may still be a decade away, but Blockstream Research is already working on the solution. Adam Back (Adam Back) joined FINTECH.TV at Consensus 2026 Miami to explain how Bitcoin will be ready before quantum becomes a threat.

Lightning co-author Tadge Dryja on Bitcoin & Quantum Computing: "I don't think a quantum computer will exist in my lifetime... [but I realized] this is something important to work on because there are people who don't want to hold Bitcoin because of this." "I'm betting there will not be a quantum computer in my lifetime... but that's not a bet people should have to take."

🚨Google recently announced the Willow - 105 Qubit Quantum computing chip. This made a lot of people question whether quantum computing is close to breaking Bitcoin. Watch this Video where we explain - What is quantum computing & can it break Bitcoin. This video is from 5 years ago - Back then Google was able to achieve close to 53 Qubit.

"There's nothing worse than trying to protect against quantum computing and then making Bitcoin insecure against regular computing." Adam Back on why hash-based signatures are the conservative post-quantum choice for Bitcoin. Based on a 1979 paper. Decades of analysis. SHRINCS is where Blockstream Research landed.

.Martin Shkreli is bullish on photonic computing. "I think it's sort of time for the end of silicon." "I was very convinced that the quantum computing story is basically fraud. I literally think some of the CEOs of the quantum computing companies will go jail." "If we had an optical computer, I think it would have a 1000x to a 1,00,000x performance." "Compared to biological computing or quantum or some of the other alternative computings, those aren't really that exciting."
