Tom Lee drew attention during a live CNBC interview after saying quantum computers could become a risk to $BTC within the next two years if the network does not agree on stronger security upgrades.
He explained that Bitcoin has not yet reached a consensus on how to protect itself from future threats, while Ethereum and Solana are already working toward quantum-resistant security solutions.
Although today's quantum computers are not yet powerful enough to break Bitcoin, experts believe the industry should start preparing.
The discussion comes as Google researchers estimate that current encryption methods could be vulnerable before the end of the decade if quantum technology continues to improve.
This issue extends beyond cryptocurrencies, affecting banks, governmentsvand many online services that rely on the same encryption standards.
As a result, the push for post-quantum security is becoming an important focus across the industry.
