Quantum fears already limiting Bitcoin’s growth, Stacks founder says
Summary
Stacks founder Muneeb Ali says fears about quantum computing may be holding back institutional Bitcoin investment, and urges developers to publish a credible quantum-resistant security roadmap. He warned that upgrades and user migrations take years, making progress by 2028 important; he cited 2030 as a possible transition target, though AI advances could accelerate the threat. Ali said a quantum attack on Bitcoin would affect the wider crypto industry. Researchers are testing quantum-resistant Bitcoin transactions, but current results are benchmarks and do not replace a longer-term protocol upgrade.
