Opinion: Bitcoin must be upgraded or it will fall victim to quantum computing wi

David Carvalho, founder, CEO, and chief scientist of Naoris Protocol, wrote that government entities such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Security Agency are aiming for a full transition to quantum security standards by 2030. However, the Bitcoin community appears to be limited to theoretical solutions such as BIP-360 (Payment Quantum Hash Resistance) or submitting delayed disclosure schemes. The era of empty talk is over. If concrete steps are not taken now to adapt to the Bitcoin blockchain, Bitcoin's market value of $2.20 trillion could be wiped out. All it takes is a stolen wallet or a botched transaction to destroy 16 years of hard-built trust.
