Is the Quantum Threat to Bitcoin Actually Real? | Alex Pruden
About this episode
Alex Pruden discusses the potential quantum threat to Bitcoin and its implications for the future of cryptocurrency.
“There's a 50% chance that by 2033, quantum computers can break Bitcoin.” Alex Pruden joins me to explain why the threat may be much closer than most Bitcoiners think, what a real quantum attack on Bitcoin would actually look like, and whether bitcoin developers are doing enough to prepare. We get into the real risk to self custody, exposed public keys, whether Satoshi’s coins could become a target, how a migration to quantum resistant signatures might work, and why this debate could become one of the most important and divisive fights in Bitcoin’s future.
