Quantum computing in crypto
Hey guys,
I’m considering DCA’ing into Bitcoin again for the long term, but quantum computing honestly has me a bit concerned.
From what I understand, the risk is that sufficiently advanced quantum computers could eventually break the cryptography Bitcoin uses for wallets and signatures (ECDSA), meaning private keys could theoretically be derived from public keys.
I know we’re not there yet technologically, but I’m wondering how realistic this threat actually is in the next 5–10 years. Do you think Bitcoin could realistically transition to quantum-resistant cryptography before this becomes a real problem?
Curious what people here think, especially anyone with a technical background.
