Bitcoin Security and Quantum Computers: Will It Really Be Safe in 10 Years?

Although current reports may sound very reassuring, everyone should keep a cool head. That’s how it is—technology never stands still. While quantum computers now have just over 100 qubits, who’s to say their development won’t explode like AI did in recent years? Predicting "10 years from now" as the time when risks might emerge is sometimes just a way to temporarily soothe the market. About 10,200 BTC stored in old wallets with exposed public keys are the first "tempting bait." That’s how it is—if a small vulnerability is exploited, the entire system’s trust could collapse in a domino effect before an upgrade is implemented. Individual investors should not be overly complacent. Although the current risk is low, we need to closely monitor updates to Bitcoin’s source code from the development team. That’s how it is—prevention is better than cure. In this market, the most cautious person is the one who survives last. $BTC
