Recently, discussions around quantum computing and its potential impact on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have started to gain attention. Many people are concerned that future quantum machines could break current cryptographic systems and compromise blockchain security.
However, according to Changpeng Zhao (CZ), there is no need to panic—at least not right now.
The Core Idea: Crypto Can Adapt
At a fundamental level, the solution is straightforward. Cryptocurrencies can upgrade their security systems to quantum-resistant (post-quantum) algorithms.
These newer cryptographic methods are specifically designed to withstand the computational power of quantum machines. While today’s encryption may eventually become vulnerable, the industry is already working on stronger alternatives.
The key takeaway:
Crypto is not static—it evolves with technology.
The Real Challenge: Execution
While the solution exists in theory, implementing it across decentralized networks is far from simple.

1. Decentralization Makes Coordination Difficult
Unlike traditional systems, blockchains are not controlled by a single authority. Upgrading them requires consensus among developers, miners/validators, and users.
This often leads to disagreements about:
Which algorithms to adopt
When to implement changes
As a result, the ecosystem may experience forks, where a blockchain splits into multiple versions.
2. New Code Brings New Risks
Introducing new cryptographic algorithms is not risk-free:
Bugs may be introduced
Security vulnerabilities could appear
Systems may be unstable in early stages
Short-term uncertainty is almost inevitable during such transitions.
3. Outdated Projects May Disappear
Not all crypto projects will successfully upgrade. Some inactive or poorly maintained projects may fail to adapt and eventually become obsolete.
In a way, this acts as a natural cleanup of the ecosystem, removing weaker or abandoned projects.
4. Users Must Take Responsibility
For individuals who use self-custody wallets:
Funds may need to be migrated to quantum-safe wallets
Users will have to stay informed and take action
This adds a layer of responsibility for maintaining security.
The Satoshi Nakamoto Question
An interesting point raised by CZ involves Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin.
Satoshi is believed to hold a large amount of Bitcoin that has never been moved.
If those coins are moved in the future, it could suggest that Satoshi is still active.
If they remain untouched, there may be discussions about locking or “burning” those addresses to prevent them from being stolen by future quantum attackers.
However, this idea faces challenges:
Identifying all of Satoshi’s wallets is difficult
There is a risk of mistakenly targeting legitimate early adopters
Fundamental Principles
CZ highlights a few important long-term principles:
Encryption is generally easier to create than to break
Advancements in computing power benefit technological progress overall
Crypto will continue to exist, even in a post-quantum world
Conclusion
Quantum computing does present a potential future threat to current cryptographic systems. However, it is not an immediate danger, and solutions are already being developed.
The real challenge lies in coordination, implementation, and ensuring a smooth transition across decentralized ecosystems.
In the long run, cryptocurrencies are likely to adapt—just as they always have.
Rather than a threat, quantum computing may simply be the next stage in crypto’s evolution.#quantumcomputers #hacker #BitmineIncreasesETHStake $BTC $ETH $XRP

Podle týmu pro analýzu hrozeb Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) bylo pozorováno, že UNC5342 od února 2025 zahájil kampaně, kde používají EtherHiding k ukládání šifrovaných "payloadů" zlovolného kódu uvnitř chytrých smluv nebo transakcí v Ethereum/BNB.


V tomto způsobu operování:
Útočníci vytvářejí falešné "nabídky práce", kontaktují vývojáře nebo osoby v prostoru blockchainu prostřednictvím LinkedIn nebo jiných platforem.

Oběti si stahují soubory jako by to byla součást technického testu nebo pohovoru; tyto soubory obsahují zlovolné "loadery", které po spuštění konzultují chytrou smlouvu, která poskytuje další zlovolný krok.

V rámci velké spolupráce mezi Úřadem pro tajné služby USA (U.S. Secret Service) a kanadskými orgány činnými v trestním řízení byla odhalena a včas zasahováno do sofistikovaného podvodu zaměřeného na uživatele peněženek Ethereum, což zabránilo odhadované ztrátě až 4,3 milionu USD. To je jeden z nejnovějších případů, které ukazují na potenciální rizika typu podvodu „Approval Phishing“ ve světě kryptoměn – forma útoku, která se stále více rozšiřuje a způsobuje značné škody.
