Quantum Computing and Bitcoin: Discussions about "Q-Day," when quantum computing could potentially compromise Bitcoin's security, have resurfaced amid market volatility, but experts believe this threat is far off.
Expert Opinion: Adam Back, a prominent figure in Bitcoin development, asserts that quantum computing is not a near-term risk and that it will take at least 20 to 40 years for the technology to threaten Bitcoin's cryptographic foundations.
Security Measures: Back emphasizes that the Bitcoin network has existing post-quantum signature schemes and will undergo multiple upgrades before any quantum threat becomes realistic, allowing for a planned transition rather than a last-minute scramble.
Market Dynamics: The narrative around quantum threats often emerges during price downturns, which can create panic among investors, but Back reassures that Bitcoin has time and options to address any future risks.

About BTC

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency originally described in a 2008 whitepaper by a person, or group of people, using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. It was launched soon after, in January 2009.Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer online currency, meaning that all transactions happen directly between equal, independent network participants, without the need for any intermediary to permit or facilitate them. Bitcoin was created, according to Nakamoto’s own words, to allow “online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.”Some concepts for a similar type of a decentralized electronic currency precede BTC, but Bitcoin holds the distinction of being the first-ever cryptocurrency to come into actual use.
