Quantum computing and Bitcoin is a nuanced conversation. The risk isn't uniform across the network, and the game theory around how a quantum capability would actually be used matters just as much as the technology itself. Richard Carback of Postquant labs, joined BitGo's High Roller Summit to break it down.

Did you know that 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology? Hear physics laureate William Phillips speak about how hard it is to predict what quantum mechanics can be used for in the future. Similarly, it was just as hard to predict what it was to be used for 100 years ago. Hear the full conversation: #NobelPrize

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.

"What matters isn't BIP 110 ... what people really care about isn't spam ... it's can the Bitcoin network get its shit together to defend against quantum" Dave on what people are really worried about beyond the BIP 110 debate "Where is the value, where are people looking? The new narrative on Ethereum is it's a safer network and it'll be quantum resistant and faster" "The narrative on Bitcoin is there's a BIP 110 debate. At the end of the day, and I'm oversimplifying, what matters isn't BIP 110, what matters is the process" "Can the Bitcoin network get its shit together to defend against quantum, and can they defend against theoretical attacks like the one that Duke professor you quoted [51% attack with short perps position] last week talked about"

I sat down with NVIDIA Sam Stanwyck (Sam Stanwyck) at ISC to talk about one of the most misunderstood areas in computing: quantum. We discussed why NVIDIA is not building a quantum computer, but instead the infrastructure around it: GPUs, AI, CUDA-Q, quantum simulation, control systems, error correction, and the path toward hybrid CPU/GPU/QPU supercomputing. The key takeaway: Quantum will likely not arrive as a standalone magic machine. It will arrive as part of a much larger accelerated computing stack, combining classical supercomputers, AI, GPUs, and quantum processors to tackle problems in chemistry, materials science, energy, optimization, and fundamental science. Full episode with Sam Stanwyck is now live.

Quantum computing is coming. Google’s recent breakthrough in quantum computing serves as a great reminder that, while we don’t know exactly when, quantum computing is on its way—and it’s closer than we might have thought. The implications for the current blockchain space could be far more severe than we can imagine. Why? Because when quantum computers become operational, security methods that currently take hundreds of years to hack could be broken in minutes. Like the turkey oblivious to the 1001st day, failing to anticipate the risks posed by quantum computing could leave us vulnerable to devastating consequences when the time comes. At StarkWare, we’ve anticipated this risk and developed STARK, a proving technology for blockchains that is quantum-resistant. This cutting-edge innovation currently powers Starknet (BTCFi arc). If you want to stay ahead of the curve and future-proof your systems, now is the best time to migrate your stack to a STARK-powered one. As the inventors of this technology, we believe our team is uniquely positioned to assist you with this migration. Moreover, we are more than open to collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation and other relevant parties to build Ethereum’s quantum resistance as soon as the community is ready.

Former Meta Engineer: Quantum Computing and Miners Are Bitcoin’s Two Ticking Time Bombs A former Meta engineer TechLead says Bitcoin faces two ticking time bombs that have yet to be defused: quantum computing and the future of miner incentives. Quantum advances could one day threaten Bitcoin wallet security, while the lack of a sustainable fee market raises questions about long-term network security as mining rewards decline. He also challenges Bitcoin’s vision as a sovereign currency, arguing that governments are unlikely to tolerate a monetary system beyond their control.
