According to Cointelegraph, the ongoing discussion about the potential threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin has sparked concerns among crypto industry executives, impacting the cryptocurrency's price and capital flow. Adam Back, co-founder of Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, expressed in a series of posts on X that while it is beneficial for Bitcoin to be prepared for quantum computing, the technology is not expected to pose a threat for several decades. He emphasized that quantum computing is still in its early stages, facing significant research and development challenges. Back predicts no immediate risks within the next ten years, asserting that even if parts of Bitcoin's encryption were compromised, its core security model does not rely solely on encryption, thus preventing theft on the network. Quantum computing remains a topic of debate within the crypto industry, with concerns that advanced computers could potentially break encryption, revealing user keys and exposing sensitive data. Nic Carter, a partner at venture capital firm Castle Island Ventures, responded to Back's comments, describing the situation as "extremely bearish" due to influential developers dismissing quantum risks. Carter highlighted a significant discrepancy between capital and developers, noting that while capital is actively seeking solutions, developers largely deny the existence of quantum risks. This denial, according to Carter, is already affecting Bitcoin's price. Craig Warmke, a fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, concurred with Carter, stating that quantum risk is hindering capital flow into Bitcoin and prompting larger holders to diversify their investments. Warmke pointed out that non-technical individuals often express concerns using technically incorrect language, which can be frustrating when technical experts dismiss these concerns instead of addressing the issue of reduced holdings due to perceived quantum risks. Critics argue that traditional targets like banking giants will be vulnerable to quantum computing long before Bitcoin. Despite the technology being years away from posing a threat, Carter emphasized that companies and countries are investing heavily in developing quantum computers, with artificial intelligence accelerating this progress. Warmke suggested that the best approach, regardless of the risk's validity, is to reassure people that the risk is minimal and to establish contingency plans. He stressed the importance of developing and agreeing on contingency plans to ensure people feel secure in holding Bitcoin.
