StarkWare co-founder fires shots: on the Bitcoin “post-quantum” issue, if you don’t do it with hard forks, there’s basically no solution.
That said, it’s pretty brutal—BTC governance is notoriously slow. Back when Taproot was being developed, it took years. By the time quantum breaks ECDSA signatures, the community will probably still be arguing.
Don’t panic in the short term: quantum computers are still far from cracking elliptic-curve digital signature schemes, but the “post-quantum” narrative will definitely get hyped first, and some older coins may use the opportunity to perform. For BTC, don’t worry—this is a risk for the long run; just keep an eye on the narrative timing.⚠️
