Discussion is heating up again around whether quantum computing could eventually weaken Bitcoin's cryptographic foundations. Some analysts argue the threat is still theoretical, while others say the timeline could be closer than expected depending on breakthroughs in error correction and qubit scaling.

What stands out is how quickly financial narratives shift when quantum milestones are announced, even if practical impact is still years away. The real tension is between long-term cryptographic safety and short-term market fear cycles.

Quantum risk feels overstated for now but still worth planning for
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

Bitcoin would likely upgrade signatures before any real danger

Ethereum may be in a similar position depending on roadmap
Question everything. Especially this.

Is there a realistic migration plan for wallets

Post-quantum cryptography should already be standard
